// WHY_LEARN_THIS?
Because it's the sign of a chef. And costs $15 at brunch.
The Experiment: I asked ChatGPT to design a strict 24-hour crash course to learn Poached Egg. I stripped away the fluff. This is the raw data on how to go from Zero to Glitch in one day.
// THE_FIRST_HOUR
Most people quit in the first 45 minutes. Here is the exact starting instruction to survive:
"Get the water to a soft simmer. Not a boil. Add vinegar."
// THE_AI_PROMPT
"Act as a world-class expert in Poached Egg. Create a strict, hour-by-hour schedule for a complete
beginner to learn the basics in exactly 24 hours. Focus on practical application over theory. My
constraint is Egg + Vinegar + Vortex."
// THE_SCHEDULE
| Timeframe | Module | Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Hour 0-2 Setup |
Foundation & Mechanics | Get the water to a soft simmer. Not a boil. Add vinegar. |
| Hour 2-6 The Grind |
Prep & Mise en place | Chop, measure, and organize. Chaos is the enemy. |
| Hour 6-12 Application |
Heat Control | First execution. Don't burn the house down. |
| Hour 12-18 Debug |
Troubleshooting | Pitfall Avoidance: Cracking the egg directly into water. Crack into a bowl |
| Hour 18-24 Mastery |
The Final Project | Execute: Make the perfect wobble |

// THE_GLITCH_TASK
To prove completion, I must execute this specific anomaly:

// CONCLUSION
Can AI teach Poached Egg? It provided the map, but the Cracking the egg directly into water. Crack into a bowl was a real human struggle. The result? Learned enough to be dangerous.
