<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > points and tips</h1>
-= Tips and Point 01 =–
Because the pine blossom egg itself is raw, its yolk part is often a semi-liquid state.
This state is not very well handled when cutting, and it is easy to have problems with flowing or blending into other liquids, which is not a good thing for the shape of the three-colored egg.
Therefore, before cutting a piece of pine blossom egg, it is necessary to put it into hot water to cook it, so that the yolk part inside it becomes as solidified as possible, and it is also too viscous to be easy to operate.
The use of ice water to cool down, in addition to accelerating this process, is also the use of the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, so that its eggshell is easier to peel off.
-= Tips and Point 02 =–
The processing of the salted duck egg part is more casual, you can be like Chenguang, first shell and then separate the yolk, egg white and cut into pieces, you can also directly use the whole set of cuts, there will be no big problem.
If you think that so much egg white is too salty, you can directly buy salted duck egg yolk to make this three-color egg, but you must master the dosage, especially the use of eggs should be relatively increased.
-= Tips and Point 03 =–
The biggest problem in making this three-color egg is how to remove the steamed three-color egg from the container.
M&G recommends friends who are not sure, try to use baking oil paper like M&G to help de-mold.
Before using baking oil paper, vegetable oil is applied to the inner wall of the container to allow the oil paper to fit better into the container.
This reduces the leaching of protein liquid into the void between the oil paper and the vessel, resulting in waste.
-= Tips and Point 04 =–
In the process of steaming eggs, there is a very troublesome place, that is, the water droplets on the lid of the steamer are dripping, which may make your three-colored eggs not so good-looking, causing many small puddles.
There are many good tips on how to solve this problem.
For example, the use of bamboo steamers is one of the most one-and-done methods, and it is also possible to block out water droplets by adding plastic wrap or plates to the container.
Finally, there is another way to put a chopstick between the steamer and the lid, so that the lid and the steamer are no longer in a fit state.
This not only allows excess water vapor to be quickly released from here, reducing the formation of water droplets, but also allows the lid to form an oblique angle, even if there are water droplets formed, it will flow to the lower side.
