Ingredients
Warm water method
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup water warmed to 110F
Separated eggs method
- 2 eggs separated into small bowls
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Method 1: Warm Water Bath (Whole Eggs)
- Pour 1 cup of water into a glass measuring cup and heat it to about 110°F.
- Gently place the eggs into the warm water.
- Let the egg sit for 5–10 minutes.
- Remove the egg from the water and dry it with a towel. Use immediately in your recipe.
Method 2: Warm Water Bath (Separated Eggs)
- Separate the eggs while they are still cold.
- Place the yolk and white in separate small bowls.
- Fill a larger bowl with warm water.
- Next, place the bowls containing the yolk and white into the warm water.
- Let them sit for 5–10 minutes. Once they no longer feel cool to the touch, use as directed in your recipe.
Notes
- Increase the water and the size of the measuring cup if warming multiple eggs.
- The amount of water can vary. For more water, increase the microwave time; for less, decrease it.
- Eggs are easier to separate when they’re cold, so separate them first, then warm them.
- Make sure the bowl you are using for the separated eggs fits under the overturned measuring cup you plan to use.
