I'm simply blown away by that technique! I've never seen anything like that before! 🤩 Also, I love this guy's energy! More, please!

Love this innovative approach and what a charasmatic chef you have there

My grandad use to make these for me 50 years ago I still make them today

I understand why my nephew loves you! Adorable. Oh and your recipe is very unique. I plan on trying this SOON!!!

Oh man, it would be fun to play with different colors for those whites.

Love this technique! Thank you for sharing.

Definitely going to try this! Love these videos chefsteps!!!!

I have got to try this.. I love the new twist.. does take longer whipping the white but the end result is amazing

Totally doable!! Yaaasssss.

I use this technique for a deconstructed eggs benedict

Выглядит изумительно!

Get tired with the right, switch to the left….guy in the back starts laughing. Never gets old! 🤣

Very nice!

roooooooh, I just tried it out, & it's sooooooo good & light! 👍👍👍 and not difficult to do. key points : 1 lubricate 2 the whites must be really really firm to hold the yoke. Else, if your plastic film is a bit short, just use a plastic clip for to close it. It works fine too.

I'll try this on my next date. Sure it's gonna work out wonders lol

Awesome! Subbed!

how does the baked version work? fan forced oven seems like it would deflate the whipped whites so i'm assuming don't use a fan forced oven?

Superb👏👏👏👏👏

I enjoy this dude

You can use a pinch of xanthumgum to stable the egg white

I have an egg cooker so I'll try this in that

If it’s old recipe what did they use instead of plastic wrap

You can steam this in the thermomix right?

Step 1: you don’t. Not only does this take 5-6 mins to cook where as a normal poached egg might take only 2-3 min but you also have to whip the whites often since you can’t hold them for too long. - Now if you do wanna still try… might be worth it to get an isi whip and then charge normal egg white with 1-2 cartridges then pipe from the isi and put the yolk in the center

@coma-body-stilllife

@@satanismybrother Looked around for a bit, all I could find were plastic wraps that wouldn't melt before 400F or so. Contents of the plastic could leach before that melting point. Traditional wraps are made from PVC which is not at all suited for heat applications. There are more inert LDPE versions that can be used, but still nothing concrete saying its a good idea. Both are avoided for direct contact while microwaving.

Cloud eggs, so like EasS?

How can it be “lost in history,” and “very, very old?” Plastic wrap was only invented in 1933, and originally used in aviation. It only became commercially available to cooks, when Saran Wrap was introduced in 1949. If it really is so old, how can you say that plastic wrap is necessary for it not to be “a mushy wet mess?"

its due to the steam technique, being really old, certain cultures used long green leaves, like banana or even corn leaves to achieve steamed goods, and cloud eggs are one of those yet they were called "Eggs in snow" around the 1600´s... the plastic wrap is just the modern comodity, u probs have plastic wrap around or in a store nearby, yet u would have a little more trouble finding cooking leafs

Ah....I thought it was awaken with jp. Bye!

those last ones were not even the ones he made, check out 3:56, the yolk clearly sunk to the bottom and burst, so that can happen with you and they didn't address it, or how to mitigate it, just editing. and to be perfectly honest, this is such a gimmick in the first place, some social media hyped up sensation because it looks fancy. just make a sunny side up.

Yea get out ten bowls and whip some whites to stiff peaks...waaay easier than poaching an egg 🙄

I really don’t get the whole hype around cloud eggs. You know the ones that has separated egg whites, whisked and the yoke in the centre. It seems quite horrible actually.

that's too much plastic.

Very old technique….. needs plastic… hmmmm.
