The egg white coagulates gently and doesn&#8217;t become rubbery, while the yolk produces perfectly creamy results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Added bonus: The shells are extremely easy to peel after being cooled in ice water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sous-vide (The method for maximum precision): The eggs are cooked in a water bath at a precisely controlled temperature (usually between 63\u00b0C and 65\u00b0C) for about 45 to 60 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advantage: The egg white sets to a velvety soft texture, and the yolk develops a waxy, intensely creamy texture that is impossible to achieve with traditional cooking methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guidelines for steamed eggs (medium size)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooking Level Steaming Time Texture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soft\/Soft 6\u20137 minutes Liquid to slightly thickened center<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medium 8\u20139 minutes Creamy yolk, firm white<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hard 11\u201312 minutes Fully cooked, but not dry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In five-star hotels, eggs aren&#8217;t cooked in rapidly boiling water, but rather steamed or cooked to perfection in a sous-vide water bath.
