So my girlfriend is normally the cook but she deserves to be treated so I'm making her breakfast in bed.
Her favorite breakfast is eggs Benedict.
I think I've figured out the hollandaise sauce (I think) but I can't figure out how to use this thing to poach eggs.
This is a surprise, so I can't ask her.

Also, is this a double boiler? If it is, how do I use this also?

This is what I've got so far
you'll get better information more quickly if you just google this stuff. hell there's almost certainly a youtube video showing you how to do all of this.
That's it?
Doesn't this thing make poached eggs also?
you clearly have no idea what you're doing op
assuming you manage to transfer a cooked meal onto a plate your girlfriend is just going to remember this as the time she had to scarf down some trash eggs so she wouldn't hurt your feelings
just shove your dick in her mouth and call it a day
Uhhh. I don't think you're supposed to scramble them bro
some people call the eggs that produces 'poached' yes, but it's more like a gentle fry in a hockey puck shape.
I'm trying to follow a recipe I found but it says (for the hollandaise) use a double boiler or put a stainless steel bowl in a saute pan with simmering water. But I don't wanna fuck it up and scramble them so I'm trying to figure out this double boiler
That's for the hollandaise sauce
also since you seem pretty cooking inept, it's worth noting:
eggs should not be scrambled
eggs should not be in the shell
crack the egg into the water (or crack into a bowl, and then dump into water, to make sure the egg is good if you have any concerns about that)
I think you're right.
I think I'm fucked with the breakfast.
It's like you looked at a picture of eggs benedict and went "yeah i could do that", then didn't look any further into it. You have the fucking Library of Alexandria at your fingertips, use it.
The scrambled eggs are for the Hollandaise
you only use the yolks for the sauce
Fuck it.
Im going to go buy breakfast burritos.
It's okay user.
Only Veeky Forums will remember your culinary failure
If it makes you feel any better, I got a pretty good laugh out of this thread.
You put water in the bottom part and a tiny bit of butter in each of the containers you plan to cook an egg in, then put it on medium heat, crack an egg into each of said containers when the water starts boiling (with a little salt and pepper if you're me), cover, and well... wait until they are cooked
It takes a bit of getting used to but eggs are cheap
OP, you're really cute. Keep it up, son.
Fuck the boiler.
Get a blender and slowly pour hot butter on the yolks. So much easier and creamier.
I've seen a couple people say this now, I take you've done it?
Indeed. Wifey found it a year ago. No mess and you're done in a minute.
Good job being a dope bf
Keep that shit up, senpai
You mean pour it into the youlks and then blend it?
>senpai
Faggot.
In the blender goes the yolks and lemon juice.
Pulse while slowly pouring hot butter in the blender. Be careful to not cook the eggs.
Try it. You have nothing to lose.

does the lemon juice cook the yolks at all?
For future reference OP James May did a guide on how to use one of these
Stop talking like a nigger and it won't happen, Ameritard.
Oh cock.
I don't heat the lemon juice hommie.
have you not heard of ceviche? acid denatures proteins
Would not the lemon juice 'cook' the same in either process?
The thought with the blender is to get the butter hot enough to bring everything up to the safe 160 degrees F slowly as to not cook the yolks.
1.5 teaspoons for a few minutes seems marginal to me. It works, scouts honor.
Yeah it would that is why I was asking
>Pre
>Ground
>Coffee
>Beans
You're fucking disgusting
I've never understood why coffee drinkers are so pretentious; it baffles me how people can be so opinionated about how other people get psychoactive drugs into their system
so its not supposed to taste good?
pre ground coffee tastes plenty good and removes an extra step in the morning
There's acetic acid in mayonnaise but it's not cooked
it's just a question, besides, lemon juice has a lower ph
user you made my day
This was brilliant
