How to Cook Duck Eggs in Plastic Wrap

How to cook duck eggs is one of those questions that all good cooks eventually have to answer. Because they are so easy to prepare, most people get confused when faced with the question. Don’t be discouraged, though, as long as you have some basic knowledge about cooking eggs you will be fine. Here is how to cook duck eggs.

First off, duck eggs are known as “duck eggs” since when cooked they become brown and usually have an eggy, sweet, nutty taste. They can be cooked either by using a poaching pan or simply by boiling them in water until they are done. Depending on your preferred method of cooking, you may want to use both. When cooking duck eggs, you will want to gently heat the water to just a boil before adding the egg.

If your water isn’t hot enough, your egg could boil over or even burn when you stir it in. If it boils over, double the recipe and cook for two minutes more. If it burns, simply re-boil the egg and, using a wire rack, continue to cook for another two minutes. As a rule, if your eggs are not “done,” they should only be slightly set but not fully cooked. You can tell that by looking at the bottom of the shell.

How to cook duck eggs shouldn’t be a problem if you know how to change the way you cook them

For instance, fried duck eggs are better fried at a lower temperature than when you boil them. This means that you will want to fry the eggs in a skillet with just enough oil to lightly cover the egg. Use a lower temperature so that the whites don’t turn opaque (and don’t forget to drain the yolk first). Don’t use a lot of oil; about two tablespoons should do the trick. Remove the egg from the skillet, allow it to finish cooking on one side, then remove it and continue to cook the other side.

Before removing the egg from the skillet, remove the yolk from the shell. You can leave the yolk to go stale if you so desire, but otherwise, the egg will retain its shape and be rather soft. Once both the yolk and the white have cooked to their optimum temperatures, take the fried egg from the plastic wrap and place it on a plate. Place the cooked egg in your microwave, setting the timer for one minute. If you like, break the egg into small pieces before placing it back in the microwave.

While your eggs are baking, it is a good idea to stir them occasionally

This ensures that the yolk is mixed into the yolk throughout. After about 10 minutes, you are ready to bake your eggs. Peel the yolk from the egg, and use a spatula or a fork to turn it over so that the white part is the underside. Continue to flip the eggs over until they are evenly browned all over.

In order to complete this process, you need to ensure that your soup has been simmering for two minutes. Add your four eggs and pour in two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Gently mix in the yolk and white, ensuring they are fully coated with oil. Put the lid on your pot, and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, and cover the pot tightly. Allow the eggs to cook an additional thirty minutes, checking on the doneness with a toothpick every couple of minutes.

As the egg cooks, it will begin to bubble, and when it does, it will release its shape – an egg salad. Serve this along with some tortilla chips and some crackers, and you are sure to be the talk of the town! Now you know how to cook duck eggs – in plastic wrap, and quickly and easily at that!
