STEAMED EGGS (RICE COOKER)



Steamed Eggs (Rice Cooker) image

This is not a time saver, just an alternate way to make soft or hard cooked eggs, that are cooked perfectly and peel easily. I know people who use an oven, pressure cooker, and stove top to make 'boiled' eggs. All those methods work, and steaming is just another method, nothing more.

Categories     Eggs

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

8-10 chicken eggs, room temp
water as needed
ice as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Add about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water to your rice cooker insert and add the steamer tray and cover, if using a pot with a steamer basket, add the basket then add water to where it just touches the bottom of the steamer basket then cover. Turn the rice cooker to Cook setting and for a pot, turn to medium to high heat. Get the water boiling and making steam.
  • 2. Remove the steamer tray and cover the pot, add the eggs to the steamer tray, place tray on the cooker, for a pot, remove from heat, add the eggs then put back on heat. For a pot, adjust the heat needed to maintain a gentle boil.
  • 3. Set your timer for 6 minutes for soft cooked and 10 minutes for hard cooked with a slightly soft yolk center, or 12-15 minutes for fully cooked through yolks. (I used 15 minutes and the eggs were perfect). If you are using two layers of eggs, increase the time by 1 to 2 minutes. (My little rice cooker doing its thing.)
  • 4. Place a large bowl in the sink and fill will ice, then fill with water, when the time is up on the eggs, transfer the eggs with a slotted spoon into the ice water, as the ice melts, turn on the tap to keep the water running into the bowl for 5 to 10 minutes to cool the eggs.
  • 5. When the eggs are cooled, take each egg and crack all over and return to the water. Once all eggs are cracked, start peeling them under running water, rinse off any shell fragments, place in another bowl, cover, and refrigerate until used.
  • 6. I hard cooked 10, previous photo shows 9, here is number 10. I took the ugly egg, the white was broke, and sliced in half, and as you can see, absolutely no green from over cooking. The whites were perfect in taste, not rubbery at all. Yolk was perfect.

MICROWAVE-STEAMED EGGS



Microwave-Steamed Eggs image

The reward for this delightful steamed egg dish, smooth and savory, will seem much too high for the effort. Reminiscent of Chinese zheng shui dan, Japanese chawanmushi and Korean gyeran jjim, this streamlined recipe cooks entirely in the microwave. The key to that perfect, soft-set wibble-wobble texture (think silken tofu) is using your microwave at around 500 watts - or half its power on a 1,000-watt machine. This lower heat lets the eggs and broth steam together gently until they cohere into something ethereal, existing somewhere between liquid and solid. More slurpable than chewable, it tastes fantastic as a light starter or breakfast on its own, or for lunch or dinner alongside steamed rice and other dishes to complete the spread.

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs
1 cup instant or kombu dashi (see Tip), vegetable or chicken broth, or water
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon finely snipped chives or scallion greens, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium, microwave-safe shallow cereal bowl, whisk together the eggs, dashi and salt until very well combined, at least 30 seconds. Skim off any bubbles with a spoon or pop them by blowing on them.
  • Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate and microwave at 500 watts (on 50 percent power or power level 5 on a 1,000-watt microwave) until the eggs have just set and are no longer liquid in the middle, 5 to 7 minutes. (Every machine differs, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then in 30-second intervals after that if needed.)
  • Let sit in the microwave to cool slightly, then carefully remove, uncover and drizzle with the soy sauce and maple syrup, and garnish with the chives, if using. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggs: Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best results.
  • Prepare the eggs properly: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until they are well-blended.
  • Season the eggs: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to the eggs. You can also add chopped herbs, cheese, or vegetables.
  • Use a non-stick cooking spray: Spray the inside of the rice cooker bowl with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the eggs from sticking.
  • Cook the eggs on the correct setting: Most rice cookers have a "steam" or "steamed rice" setting. If your rice cooker does not have a specific setting for steaming, you can cook the eggs on the "white rice" setting.
  • Cook the eggs for the right amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the number of eggs you are cooking and the desired doneness. For soft-boiled eggs, cook for 8-10 minutes. For medium-boiled eggs, cook for 10-12 minutes. For hard-boiled eggs, cook for 12-15 minutes.
  • Let the eggs rest: After the eggs are done cooking, let them rest in the rice cooker for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to finish cooking and prevent them from overcooking.

Conclusion:

Steamed eggs are a healthy and delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are also a great way to use up leftover eggs. With a rice cooker, you can easily steam eggs in just a few minutes. Just follow these tips to get perfect steamed eggs every time.
