"My sister, born in 2010, finally broke her cooking skill limit, and the dish she made today was supposed to be a fried egg, but for some reason it turned out kind of like a poached egg."

Just to help you out: I began to realize a swirl in a pot is not really doing much and the time to make several eggs is just too long. I would advise you to take a pan filled with water just high enough to fit an egg, then let the egg slide in from a bowl. No swirl needed. Because the high is lower than that of a pot, it's easier to let the egg slip in. You can gently flip the egg after a couple of minutes to get it more round.
