Poaching is a moist-heat cooking technique in which food, commonly eggs, fish or fruit, is gently cooked while fully or partially submerged in a liquid such as water, milk, stock or wine held at a relatively low temperature, well below a simmer or boil. The gentle, steady heat keeps delicate foods from toughening or breaking apart, and the poaching liquid, once infused with flavor from the food, is often reduced and reused as a sauce.
