poached like egg no joy

Joule arrived yesterday (just beer breakfast) Immediately made an egg using the app preset "Ultimate Poached Egg Upgrade" the egg did come out as advertised but I like my white more set and my yolk more runny... Found the egg calculator and based the time and temp on the settings produced by the calculator (could not find it in the app) 158° x 22min the egg came out with the whites more set but also the young was thicker... any advice from the experts?

The egg calculator is not in the Joule app, but it is in the ChefSteps app. Click on the three bars at the top left and it will come up. As @Nancy_Byrd_47779 noted check out the posts below. Eggs are probably one of the most difficult things to get right and consistent. You need really fresh, AA grade, large size eggs to be in the ballpark. Here is what works for me. I like my eggs like you do, so I go to the egg calculator to get the yoke where I want it and sous vide, when done I put them in boiling water for 45 seconds to 1 minute to set the white better. Maybe it's cheating because it's not totally done sous vide but I get my eggs the way I like them. The key to me is to crack the egg on a slotted spoon and let the uncoagulated white fall off.
