Steaming eggs, rather than boiling them, makes for the easiest and best way to peel hard-boiled eggs perfectly.
The bottom line Overall, shorter and lower-heat cooking methods cause less cholesterol oxidation and help retain most of the egg’s nutrients. For this reason, poached and boiled (either hard or soft) eggs may be the healthiest to eat. These cooking methods also don’t add any unnecessary calories.
I like to let mine poach for about 3 minutes, is usually enough time to set the egg white fully, but leaves the yolk molten and creamy. You can check the doneness of the eggs by lifting an egg out of the water with a slotted spoon and poking the yolk. The firmer the yolk is, the more well done it is.
Soft Boiled Egg Place the eggs onto the wire rack (this will prevent them from rolling) or the large perforated steam tray. Set the oven to FullSteam 100c and the cooking time to 6 minutes. Press start.
Tips. If your egg ends up sticking to the bottom of the pan, don’t try to pry it off (you’ll end up breaking the yolk). Just vigorously stir the pot until the current of the water releases the egg from the pan. The fresher the egg, the fewer of the wispy white strings that come off of an egg.
Add eggs to steamer basket, cover, and continue cooking, 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 12 minutes for hard-boiled.
Yes, the eggs should be pricked so that they don’t crack while they steam. The eggs will be pricked on the larger end and then placed with that end facing up so nothing will leak out! 10 of 10 found this helpful.
Heat the convection oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the eggs in the oven. Cook eggs for 6 minutes for a runny yolk; for a firm yolk, cook them 7 to 8 minutes. Carefully remove the eggs from the oven.
Add a bit of vinegar to the water (supposed to cut scum, keeps egg together better) Increase the surface area of the pan (many restaurants use a large rectangular pan for poaching) Use more water (reduce the ratio of protein bits to water) Slide the eggs in more carefully and use fresher eggs (less protein separates)
Therefore, the older the egg, the higher it floats. If an egg shows more than the size of a dime above the water, it’s not suitable for poaching; you might want to scramble it instead and wait to poach with fresher eggs. To keep eggs fresh, store them in the container they came in them and keep them cold.
Fill a glass with water and drop the egg in with its shell still on. If it sinks to the bottom, it’s fresh. If it floats even halfway up, the egg is likely still safe to eat but should not be used for poach eggs. If it floats to the top, it may not be safe to eat and should be thrown out.
