Try to be more specific with your instructions. There are people that have no idea what you are telling them to do, so please make your instructions more in-depth.

No, I am sorry. I should have taken my own advice! nevermind, I just misunderstood the directions.

I think your instructions were fine except you left out to put the water in the pot. You just said vinegar. I got it after I looked at all the pictures for step 2 though.
Otherwise I thought it was a great tutorial. I think I'm going to make a poached egg right now.
Thank you!

Yeah. That makes a lot more sense now.
Btw. I totally made an two poached eggs after I left that comment. They were delicious. And as far as people saying stuff about poaching rings. I really don't think they're necessary. My eggs came out pretty round.
