Hey,
Bought some duck eggs before, I want to poach them tomorrow for breakfast. I do normal hen eggs between 3 and 3.30mins with salt and vinegar, which usually makes them nice and runny. I normally boil eggs for 3.30 aswell, but the packet on my duck eggs says to boil them for 7-8 mins. How do you poach and boil duck eggs? The same as hen eggs or different? What's the cling film technique I saw someone mention on here recently?
Also, I thought duck eggs would be bigger than hen eggs, they are, but not by much. Got them from Costco.
Thanks in advance

Poach for a couple of minutes. Be aware that the shells are thicker than hens eggs so they are a bit harder to crack.
The cling film technique is to line a cup or ramekin with cling film (as uncreased as possible), crack the egg in to it, twist it together at the top and drop in to the water.
They only take a couple of mins to poach, pretty much the same as hens eggs.
