    I’m having a crack at making steamed eggs. Going to have them on microwaved rice I think. If they work, could be a nice easy weeknight dinner option. Following the instructions in approximately 1 zillion youtube videos.

      Steamed eggs? I haven’t heard of that process before.

      Do the eggs come out a lot differently?

        It seems to be a sort of egg custard, but made with water not milk. I did use some flavourings in the actual egg mix. Came out fine. Am very full rn as I couldn’t stop myself from going back to the pan for a bit more. Just to use up the rice you understand.

          Hmm ok. I’m going to have to look up some videos to get an idea.

          Sounds like tofu or something.

          Oh and yes of course. To finish off the left over rice. Yup!

          I’ve had an egg explode before when I was doing an egg in a cup to emulate a poached egg.

          The clean up wasn’t so nice.

            I think the trick is to take the shell off first. And prick the yolk with a needle if cooking in a microwave. Have had eggs explode in the microwave when I didn’t do this. Usually don’t need to prick an egg if poaching it in the open so to speak.

              Oh the egg was out of its shell sitting in some water in a mug.

              It worked a couple of times but one time the egg white exploded all over the inside of the microwave.

              Not sure if it was because it built up too much heat and caused a hot air pocket to form.

              Yoke was still intact though.
