Sunnyside up part II

OK just to be cruel what is the difference between basted and poached vs. picture #2 - to me sunny side means no lid & no water. When I go to a restaurant I order basted and I get picture #2. But really with water they are KINDA poached and to me basted means using oil and "basting" them with said grease until the white over the yolk is cooked......I am so confused....

But that is (#2) exactly how I cook my eggs right down to the toaster as the timer.

I am with the rest of you though, how CRUEL to post such a thing during the lunch hour.

Today 2:13 pm Wasn't pic two just steamed by putting the lid on and not flipped?

Yes, the first pic is just as they were put in pan, you could just let them cook and that is true sunnyside up, but the question in other post was how to get whites completely done without flipping, if you flip just enough to get white cooked, that is over easy, the longer you cook and more done the yolk is determines if over easy/med/hard

Basted- would be splashed with OIL or grease,this is somewhat like that except not as greasy, so I would say its better for you that way.

Poached-is like boiling(although eggs should never be boiled just cooked) eggs without the shell, get water to a simmer, not boiling or eggs will tear apart from water movement. getwater biling then place eggs into water let them cook 3 minutes remove from water with a slotted spoon.

THE WORST PART IS I HAD TO EAT THE EXAMPLES I MADE​
