Steamed custard with three eggs usually takes 7-8 minutes, and it takes longer if there are more eggs.

The method for steaming egg custard comprises the following steps:

1. Beat three eggs in a bowl.

2. Start adding water: At the same time, it is recommended to add water to the eggshell, and the amount of water should be three times that of the egg liquid (that is, three eggs should be put with about nine times of water, so it is more convenient to add water to the eggshell). The added water must be warm water, which is also a trick to steam the custard.

3. Stir the eggs and water gently in one direction, and the strength must not be large. Try to keep the egg mixture from foaming a lot until it is mixed evenly.

4. put it in a steamer and start steaming. Pay attention to the second trick to make the custard fresh and tender: wait until the water boils before adding the egg liquid, and the lid is not tight (leaving a gap of finger thickness)

After steaming for 7-8 minutes, you will find that the eggs have solidified. Try it with chopsticks to see if it's cooked and ready to go out.

Matters needing attention in making egg custard:

1. Proportion and temperature of water. There should not be too much water and the temperature should not be too high or too low.

2. The size of the fire and the steaming time. Can't steam on the fire, and the time can't be too long.
