Home›Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes›Cooking Method›PoachingCulinary TechniquePoachingMoist-Heat and Combination Cooking MethodsReference and ClassificationVerifiedPoaching 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.FactsPoachingConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOrigin RegionWell-attestedPeople's Republic of China 1Heat LevelWell-attestedLow 2PoachingFilter Results4 entriesCuisineAllAlgerian Cuisine (1)Egyptian Cuisine (1)French Cuisine (1)German Cuisine (1)Israeli Cuisine (1)Italian Cuisine (1)Middle Eastern Cuisine (1)Moroccan Cuisine (1)Polish Cuisine (1)Spanish Cuisine (1)Tunisian Cuisine (1)Turkish Cuisine (1)CourseAllAppetizer (1)Main Course (3)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Dairy or Egg (3)Contains Fish or Shellfish (1)Contains Meat or Poultry (1)Vegetarian (1)Main IngredientAllCarp (1)Egg (2)Garlic (1)Olive Oil (1)Onion (1)Pike (1)Whitefish (1)Yogurt (1)Dish FamilyAllEuropean Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Format/TypeAllEuropean Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Origin RegionAllCentral Europe (1)Europe (1)France (1)Tunisia (1)Turkey (1)Era (Origin Period)All1350 (1)1400 (1)TraditionAllChristmas Feast Traditions (1)Lenten Fasting Foods (1)Passover and Jewish Holiday Foods (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 4ÇılbırPoachingGefilte FishPoachingOeufs en meurettePoachingShakshoukaPoachingConnectionsPrepares DishesÇılbır, Dishes Well-attested Source Cilbir (Wikipedia)Galantine, Dishes Well-attested Source Galantine (Wikipedia)Gefilte Fish, Dishes Well-attested Source Gefilte fish (Wikipedia)Hainanese Chicken Rice, Dishes Well-attested Source Hainanese chicken rice, WikipediaOeufs en meurette, Dishes Well-attested Source Oeufs en meurette (Wikipedia)Shakshouka, Dishes Well-attested Source Shakshouka (Wikipedia)Uses IngredientEgg, Ingredients Well-attested In the Other AtlasesOriginated InChinaAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject originated.Source Poaching, cooking (Wikipedia)Sources1.
