ADDITIONAL RECIPES. 73 SAVOURIES and BREAKFAST DISHES L r COOKING OF EGGS in Low Temperature. The low temperature method is applicable either to tough materials, or those liable to become tough by use of a higher temperature. An egg may be cooked right through, and still remain quite tender, by keeping the water at about 170° Fahr., for say 10 minutes, or over according to taste. An invalid who could not assimiliate an ordinary boiled egg, and could not bear an egg underdone in the ordinary way, ate, enjoyed, and easily digested one done in this way, as both yolk and white set, but remained quite tender.
