Why though?

Opinion seems divided on this and I suspect it makes no difference whatsoever.

Best way is to do them in cling film with your salt and pepper etc
No waste no pan mess
And by god they r good try it

Agree, personally I like the added acidity, but it also helps the proteins coagulate...

Definitely will, thanks for the heads up. I love 'em poached, but the worst bit is having to wash the pan afterwards.

Always.

I ended up with 4 btw & opted for Tabasco Chipotle on the 4th... which was sensational.

Vinegar and salt both help the proteins (albumin) to denature (unwind) more quickly and link up to form a network of proteins, thus setting the egg. The quicker the proteins denature the less feathering there will be around the edges and the nicer looking the egg.
