Step 2:

For the poached eggs, combine 250ml of Cornwells White Vinegar with water and place on high heat and bring to a boil. Then, slowly and carefully crack the eggs in the pot. Make sure you do this action as close as possible to the water to ensure it is a success. The eggs will take between 2 to 3 minutes to cook.
