What's the difference between 'deep-poaching' and any other type of poaching?

Deep-poaching is suitable for larger cuts of meat, poultry and fish, and dishes are usually cooked on the stove top.

The ingredients are submerged in the liquid, and once cooked, can be used as garnish. The poaching liquid isn't usually used to make a sauce though.

For best results, keep the temperature really low when poaching ingredients - the liquid should barely tremble on the surface.
