Now that you know how to boil an egg, it’s time to learn how to poach an egg! A soft boiled egg and a poached egg are similar in that they are both cooked in water, and the white has set and yolk is still runny. However, they are different because a poached egg is cooked outside of the shell and at a lower temperature.
