Perfectly Poached!

Poaching is a great way of cooking foods that cuts fat, enhances flavor and keeps delicate foods from turning tough.  This sinple cooking method involves slow simmering eggs, meat, poultry, seafood or fruit in a flavorful liquid just long enough to cook it through. Once you discover the benefits and simplicity of this method it will inevitably become part of your regular cooking techniques.
