Heat water in a large, wide, shallow pan. Crack an egg into a teacup or ramekin. Whisk the vinegar and a pinch of salt into the simmering water and gently drop the egg into the swirling water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the white is set and the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
