I often ...I am so excited someone made these eggs! I often worry that when I talk about sous-vide style preparations everyone's eye glaze over. <br /><br />To tell you the truth, I don't get out the beer cooler for these eggs either. I use a 4 quart pot on the stove top and monitor it closely with a thermometer. I now know how my burner and pot behave and have a pretty good idea how often I need to check the temperature and when to turn the burner on and off. If the water overheats, I throw in a few ice-cubes. <br /><br />The reason I didn't suggest this method is that it's a little temperamental and requires paying close attention the first few times you do it. Don't sweat a few degrees here and there. You are no where near the danger zone of 40-131F and even if you overheat the yolks by a couple of degrees, they'll still be very yummy.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />-HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1660054247344341922011-03-18T11:54:58.433-04:002011-03-18T11:54:58.433-04:00This is brilliant!
I tried this and screwed it up...This is brilliant!<br /><br />I tried this and screwed it up but was still very pleased with the results--I didn't follow the directions for a sous-vide setup and instead just tried to monitor the temperature of a pot of water on the stove. I think it went above 142 briefly (maybe as high as 150), so the yolk was more cooked than in your picture, but I loved it! and poaching it was so easy too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-35698830824268648532011-03-11T09:08:15.233-05:002011-03-11T09:08:15.233-05:00the egg is sitting on quinoa.
