<human>:  What is the best way to boil and poach eggs?
<bot>: The best way to boil and poach eggs is to first bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Add a tablespoon or two of white vinegar to the boiling water, then reduce the heat to low. Carefully lower the eggs into the water and allow them to simmer for around 4 minutes. Finally, remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess moisture. For poached eggs, bring the water to a gentle simmer and swirl the water with a spoon to create a whirlpool. Carefully drop the eggs into the swirling water and poach them until they are cooked to your desired level. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and serve.
