Momofuku Slow Poached Eggs Recipes

SLOW-POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Fit a large pot with a rack and fill with water. Place over lowest possible heat.
• Heat water to between 140 and 145 degrees; add eggs to pot. Cook eggs 40 to 45 minutes, checking temperature regularly; add ice cubes if water gets too hot.
• Use eggs immediately or transfer to an ice-water bath to chill. Drain, and transfer to refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Warm eggs under piping hot tap water for 1 minute before using.
• To serve eggs, crack them, one at a time, into small individual saucers. The thin white should not be firm or solid. Carefully pour off loosest part of white before serving.

Steps:

• Take a giant pot of water and put on the stove. Put a steamer rack in it so the eggs aren't close to the element. Bring the water up to 140˚F and hold it there. Drop the eggs in their bath and let them soak for about 40-45 minutes. *Turning the heat on for 30-45 seconds every 10 minutes or so is enough to keep the temperature in the proper range.
