What is the best time to steam the custard for a few minutes?
Egg custard is usually steamed for about ten minutes.
However, the specific time of custard depends on the number of eggs and the amount of water. In fact, time is not necessarily. According to the size of the bowl, it usually takes 8- 15 minutes after the water is boiled.
Tips for homemade custard
First, the eggs should be broken up first, and then mixed with water. Do not directly add water and mix together.
Second, the ratio of eggs to water, an egg is about 80 grams of water, because the eggs I use are too small. The original plan was three eggs with 300 grams of water, but it was actually 100 grams of eggs, with only 250 grams of water. This tenderness is just right. If the egg is big, increase the amount of water.
Third, the choice of tableware, mainly porcelain tableware, plastic and melamine tableware can not be used, melamine tableware has strong thermal insulation, poor permeability and conductivity, which leads to asynchronous temperature conduction and uneven heating of egg custard. Do not use melamine tableware for steamed vegetables. Be sure to use porcelain tableware. The better the thermal conductivity, the faster the custard matures.
Fourth, steamed egg custard can be added with warm water, the temperature should not be too high, the hand test is slightly hot, 40/50 degrees can be used, the water is too hot to become egg water, and the egg custard can not be solidified, and the steaming effect is not good. The custard steamed in warm water is also tender and smooth, and the steaming time is less than two minutes. The experimental results show that the egg custard steamed in warm water has a good smoothness and a honeycomb structure, while the egg custard steamed in cold water is not bad, but a little worse. The proportion of warm water is the same as above.
5. When steaming, seal the plastic wrap and steam it again, and tie two air holes on it, and the steaming effect is the best.
6. After the egg liquid is stirred with water, bubbles will be generated, which can be blown away gently or scooped out with a spoon. Don't worry about letting bubbles go out naturally, otherwise it will affect the shaping and beauty of custard.
Seven, you can choose a slightly shallow soup bowl, preferably a soup plate, the depth of three or four centimeters is the most suitable, the steaming time is shorter, and it is easier to cook. When the bowl is too deep and there is too much egg liquid, it needs to be steamed for three or four minutes, and the maturity will be out of sync.
What are the benefits of eating steamed egg soup?
Protect your hair, and it will be enriched in one step. Eggs are rich in nutrients, including lecithin and trace elements, and iron in yolk is also quite rich. Iron supplementation can make skin rosy and moist, and can also prevent hair loss. Just have some omelet for hair care.
I'm not afraid of heart disease, but I can also bear strenuous exercise. Although it is not so realistic to exercise every day, running and sweating occasionally can improve metabolism, prevent heart disease, and eat egg cakes in moderation to strengthen the heart.
The disadvantage is that the egg cake has low vitamin C content and cannot be partial eclipse. It is good to eat more oranges or vegetables containing vitamin C. A balanced diet is good for your health.
skill
If the custard is cooked for a long time, the taste will drop a lot. You can buy a special pot for steaming egg custard without setting your own time. Usually, the power is automatically turned off after cooking, which is very convenient to use and you don't have to worry about forgetting to calculate the time.
