poached egg
A poached egg is really the most delightful food in the world. I love a bite of firm white dipped into the yolk, love to salt each spoonful individually so as to get the flavoring exact, but here's the thing: I want my poached egg to be round and smooth, firm with just enough runny yolk in the middle, but I'm not so good a poaching an egg--mine come out with the white dispersed or frilled, the yolk too runny or too firm.

I don't know about the end result of the process, necessarily, but I got tired of scraping that tough, eggy residue from the bottoms of pots. So my secret for poached eggs is to start by melting just a little butter in the little cast iron pan we have, and only then adding the water to boil. Makes clean-up a breeze.
