*** Poaching eggs is an art form.  First, make sure your poaching liquid contains some acid (vinegar, lemon juice, etc.) in it. Secondly, never crack your eggs directly over the poaching liquid! Crack them into a small bowl, then individual and gently slide the raw egg into the simmering liquid.  Doneness is determined by the cook, so figure out what you like and do it! Good luck.
