The Right Eggs For Your Need

Choosing the right eggs do matter when cooking and baking. For instance when baking, use eggs that are not prime. However, when cooking eggs such as poached, sunny side up, fried, omelet, hard boiled, and making sauces, custards, ice cream, and so on, use the best and freshest eggs available such as organic free range or pasture-raised. Healthy hens produces healthier and more nutritious eggs. Those eggs produce a richer, orange tone, while the regular eggs have a bright yellow hue 🐣

Poaching Eggs / Oeuf Mollet

Poach more eggs for backup. Bring water to a boil with salt and white vinegar. Immerse cold eggs carefully, lower the heat and cook for 6 minutes moving eggs around every so often. Transfer eggs in ice water – After 20 min, gently crack the shell and place eggs back in the water. It’s a delicate procedure since eggs aren’t fully cooked – eggs should remain intact once peeled. Store poached eggs in cold water and fridge for up to 3 days changing water every day.

Place the bottom of the cup in hot water 20/30 sec; do not stop the mixer – the internal temp of the sauce should reach 145ºF/63ºC. The sauce must not scramble. If it begins to scramble, remove from heat immediately and blend well. Rewarm and give an emulsion before serving.
