Steaming eggs takes about 8 minutes.
If it is placed in the ordinary steamer above the steam, 7-8 minutes or so the egg is basically cooked, this time the egg will be more tender. If placed in the microwave oven to steam then it is possible to time control in about six minutes, otherwise it will be easy to become old. And in the steamer inside then the time is even shorter, five minutes or so can be. You can insert chopsticks into the egg to see if the bottom of the egg is already coagulated, if it is coagulated, it is cooked.
Normally, you can steam eggs in cold water or hot water, but it is recommended to use lukewarm water in the pot is better, cold water in the pot is easy to lead to the eggs steamed not solidified, steamed after not tender. The use of warm water in the pot to steam eggs, you can make the steamed eggs uniform heat, so that the steamed eggs tender, shorter time, will not make its taste old.

1, to add salt
To add a little salt in the bowl after the egg is beaten into the bowl, the main role of salt is to not let the steamed egg stained on the bowl. I believe that many people are steamed eggs stained in the bowl troubled, so in the dishwashing time is very difficult. This problem can be solved from the root by not letting it get on the bowl from the beginning. The solution is to add a little salt when stirring the egg mixture, so you don't have to worry about it.

After mixing the eggs, you should use a spoon to skim off the froth and small bubbles on the surface of the egg mixture, or use a strainer to strain the eggs once to remove the bubbles and froth on the top. You should know that the steamed eggs have air holes is actually because the foam is not dealt with, the foam is dealt with, the steamed eggs will not have air holes, can ensure that the steamed eggs are tender and smooth.
