Chef Kelly Scott’s 42-Second TikTok Shares ‘Foolproof’ Poached-Egg Method

UK lifestyle sites spotlighted the clip, with readers praising the results.

Overview

  • The video shows Scott straining an egg into a ramekin, using gently simmering water, swirling, flipping once the white sets, and cooking for two to three minutes until the yolk jiggles.
  • Scott says she poached hundreds of eggs in breakfast service and describes the approach as foolproof for single or multiple eggs.
  • Express and the Mirror published step-by-step write-ups on October 10, amplifying the TikTok to a wider audience.
  • Viewers reported successful attempts using the method, while others shared home alternatives such as a microwave-in-ramekin approach and a cling-film mug technique.
  • Articles cite water at about 180C while calling it barely bubbling, a discrepancy that remains unclarified.
