Hit 100 failed attempts at the 'perfect' poached egg

The whites kept feathering out no matter what vinegar trick I used. Has anyone actually made this work without a sous vide machine?

Fresh eggs make a huge difference (the whites are tighter). Also, try swirling the water into a vortex before you drop the egg in.

Wait, the vortex trick... does that actually keep the whites from feathering out? I've never tried that part.

How many eggs did you go through before you gave up?
