Quick Guide to Cooking Sous Vide Eggs with Anova

Eggs, possibly one of the most versatile foods in existence. We use them in baking, we use them in desserts, we use them in breakfasts all across the world. We poach, we fry, we bake, we scramble…the preparations are endless. Eggs can be finicky when cooked traditionally, overcooking or undercooking in a matter of seconds one way or the other. Poached eggs can be a messy nightmare and everybody knows it. Want the best eggs ever? With the precise temperature control of Anova, you can make sure the egg turns out exactly how you want them. A change as small as two degrees results in an entirely different texture as you’ll see below. With Anova’s accuracy within 0.01°, you can ensure your eggs turn out exactly how you want them time after time with no guessing games. It’s all about precise temperature. Eggs are like any other food, and at certain internal temperatures have different characteristics than at other temperatures. A change in just a few degrees can impact your results dramatically. To get exactly what you want with your eggs, you need down-to-the-degree precision temperature control. Get started with some epic eggs with these time and temperature combinations that will help you take your egg game to the next level.
