first steamed egg

tongkm's photos of boiled eggs are always perfection flic.kr/p/2rwCGxr he steams them. i've never steamed an egg, always boiled. time to have a go and test the results ...

 

the first steamed egg was removed after 10 minutes from the water being boiled from cold - would have taken less time if i'd used less water - noted for next time - i've since read an inch depth of water is enough, i had far more than that!

 

verdict: runny but tasted fine, though i like my boiled eggs firm

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...

 

i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
