Heat water in a pot and add a tablespoon of white vinegar.

Bring the water to a boil, then turn the heat down to low so there are no bubbles but the water is still hot.

Create a vortex in the water and drop the egg into the center of the vortex.

Repeat the vortex and egg drop for the second egg, being careful not to disturb the first egg.
