• A. Fruits and vegetables
• B. Eggs
• C. Bread slices
• D. Milk

Hint:

Poaching helps retain the delicate texture and nutrients of soft foods like eggs.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Poaching is a delicate cooking technique involving simmering food in liquid, typically at 70-80°C, just below boiling point. This method is ideal for fragile ingredients like eggs, preventing them from hardening or breaking under intense heat. A common application is poached eggs, where shelled eggs are cooked in simmering water until the whites solidify while the yolks retain a soft consistency.
