You are here. Mount Rushmore National Memorial is open year-round with only the Sculptor's Studio closed from October - April. Visitors in the winter will find far less crowds with the Memorial seeing only 5% roughly of the visitors coming through the gates during December - March that would come through in July or August.
1 Remove the egg: Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water. 2  Pat the egg dry: This is optional as well, but I like to pat the egg dry lightly with a paper towel. 3  Season and eat! 4  Place the poached egg on a salad, piece of toast, or a plate and season to taste with salt and pepper.et me show you how I poach an egg; there's really nothing to it. Pin it. The big difference between an easy poached egg and a slightly more difficult one is your tolerance for imperfection. I admit it's tough to get the perfectly round, satiny smooth poached eggs you see adorning restaurant dishes.
Add all of the eggs you are poaching to the pan in the same way, keeping some distance between them. 3 Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Set a timer for 4 minutes (or count out loud to 60, four times). At this point the egg whites should be completely cooked, while the egg yolks are still runny. Gently lift the poached eggs out of the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a plate to serve. To help the eggs keep from spreading too much some people have good results by placing a mason jar ring in the pan. Put a mason jar ring in the bottom of the pan and fill the pan with water to just above the mason jar ring.
