What is poaching?
Answer Gently simmering in liquid at low temperatures on the stovetop
Poaching means to bring a pan of liquid to a simmer on the stovetop and gently place foods in the liquid to cook them. In some cases, this imparts flavor, too. An egg poached in water and a bit of vinegar, for instance, is tender, has no brown or crusty edges, holds its shape, and has a partially runny interior. A whole fish is likely to be poached in some type of vegetable broth with an acid such as wine until just done and its skin loosens. Poaching is used when gently cooking with no browning is desired.
