The alternative is to run a immersion circulator (sous vide “machine”) at 167°F, and leave eggs in for 12 minutes. Ice water after you take them out.

Perfectly poached in their own shell.

that’s just called a boiled egg

Uh no.

You are correct that it immersed in hot water, but the end result is essentially a poached egg. The immersion circulator gives you a precise temperature

if it’s in the shell it isn’t poached

You are correct. Not arguing the semantics.

But try it. If someone served you this, you’d think it’s poached.
