Poached

...as in poached eggs or poached fish.

The dictionary says the word is escalfado, but nobody knows that term that I speak to. Is there a better term?

Perhaps they haven't had the pleasure.

My dictionaries list:

huevos escalfados (by far the most common translation)
huevos pochés (elide the final 's' for proper (French) pronunciation)
huevos pochados (used, but definitely looks like Spanglish)
huevos cocidos en agua ('cause that's what they are)
huevos pasados por agua

We usually say, escalfados and cocidos (being more colloquial than escalfados)

We say

huevos pasados por agua
huevos pochés (pronounced poshé)

Not our taste.

Just for the sake of Mexican precisions: we say huevos escalfados or poché (I've also heard "pasados por agua") for those that have been boiled in water without the eggshell.

And we say "huevos cocidos" for those cooked in their eggshells. (Only in TV have I heard "huevos duros" for these.)
By the way, when eggs have have been half-cooked in their eggshells, we call them "huevos tibios".

Para mí, los "huevos pasados por agua" se acercan más a "poached", pues están blanditos y hasta líquidos... (o sea, sin cuajar completamente). (También huevo en cáscara, huevo en agua, huevo encerado)

Los "huevos duros" son los cocidos con su cáscara hasta que está completamente cuajado y endurecido.

He oído "escalfados", aunque yo no lo uso mucho.

Yo sí uso y como los huevos escalfados, por ejemplo en sopas o pistos. Una vez que la sopa está caliente, se le añade el huevo (sin cáscara). Queda así:

Que yo sepa, "poché" y "pochado" no se usan por aquí.

Lo mismo en Chile. Lo que es más, huevos pasados por agua se les llama más bien, huevos a la copa, porque terminan en una taza en la cuál añadimos pedacitos de pan francés.

@Don José... ¡uy, qué rico!

(También me recuerda a un amigo argentino que solía echar un huevo crudo en una jarra de cerveza negra... y el huevo se "cocía" con el acohol...)

@ Chileno..., ya me está entrando hambrecilla...
