I like how it says "if necessary." Like what possible scenario exists where it's necessary to poach an egg instead of hard boiling it lol
I imagine that eating exactly the same thing for multiple days would get tiring to say the least, so at least a different preparation would be welcome. Probably not necessary in the literal sense, but in the sense that you "need" something different.
If you're staring at that hardboiled egg thinking. "I can't do it. I can't eat one more of those..."
Fine, if you're going to be a baby about it, poach it, instead
maybe if the shell got a bit cracked before cooking? Might as well poach it at that point since it'll just leak a bunch of albumen into the pot anyways
