Fill pan halfway full of water, you can salt it if you want to
Over medium high heat start your water lightly boiling, you don’t want a rolling boil. You’ll see little bubbles forming
Crack your egg into the strainer over a bowl and allow all the watery liquid to strain through.
Roll the egg out of the strainer into the water Drop any additional eggs in to the side (You can cook several at once just don’t overcrowd them and If you are doing several, you’ll want to rinse the strainer in between so it doesn’t build up cooked egg whites)
Use a slotted spoon gently roll the egg over so it cooks evenly
For a soft poached egg let it cook 2 minutes and about 4 minutes for a firmer egg.
