• C. Bread slices

Hint:

Poaching helps retain the delicate texture and nutrients of soft foods like eggs.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Poaching is a gentle cooking method where food is cooked in simmering water or other liquids at a temperature just below boiling (around 70-80°C). It is generally used for delicate foods such as eggs, which can easily break or become tough if cooked using high heat. Poached eggs are a popular dish where eggs are cooked without their shells in simmering water until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft.
