A line cook told me I was overcomplicating my poaching eggs and he was right

I used to fuss with vinegar and swirling the water like some ritual. He just said crack it into a fine mesh strainer first, let the thin whites drip off, then slide it in. Took me 2 tries to get it down and now I save like 30 seconds per egg.

3 tries and the egg stuck EVERY time for me.

Him saying you were "overcomplicating it" is pretty funny though, isn't it? That strainer trick is slick, but now I'm wondering - did you ever catch your eggs sticking to the mesh right before they slid off?
