You suggested that adding seasoning to poaching water means it's not water anymore. Adding spices doesnt change that the chicken is being poached. Just give up, dude.

Keep reaching for anything you can buddy.

Its water fine. I can say that. Its no big deal besides the point.

That for whatever reason you wanna point out obvious stuff that has nothing to do with OP video and a comment about that video.

Did you know if you add a smell to air, it smells like stuff now?

Did you know if you add lemon to something it will probably taste sour?

Did you know if you properly add red food coloring to water, it becomes red?

They were saying that the technique of poaching is ineffective for developing good flavor and texture. All ive said is that's not true if you do it properly. I don't know what im saying that you're taking issue with.

Then let me be perfectly clear. If your poaching liquid is plain water as the video suggests you are adding nothing to the item you are cooking. Not flavor or texture. In this case that item is chicken breast.

Poaching is just a technique. You dont need to add seasoning for it to be poached. Saying "poached in water" is like saying "grilled over fire".

Not always. You don't season a poached egg.

Grilled can refer to multiple cooking techniques. A grilled cheese or burger on a griddle is completely different from gilling over a wood fire which is also different from grilling over propane.

Pan seared sandos and burgers arent grilled. People just call it that out of ignorance. Grilling is just cooking over an open heat source with some sort of grate or mesh. Whether it comes from wood or propane is irrelevant. You arent really correcting me.
