The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Poaching is differentiated from the other "moist heat" cooking methods, such as simmering and boiling, in that it uses a relatively lower temperature.
- This temperature range makes it particularly suitable for delicate food, such as eggs, poultry, fish and fruit, which might easily fall apart or dry out using other cooking methods.
- Poaching is often considered a healthy cooking method because it does not use fat for cooking or flavoring the food.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Poaching article was read about 43,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 51 and blocks with 39: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
How to get Poaching
