3. What’s a blanched Egg, please?
Blanched egg? This search term fascinated me.
I know the term “blanching” and the term “poaching” in a different context.
“Poaching” means letting it simmer in liquid under the boiling point.
“Blanching” means cooking in boiling salt water and then cooling in ice water.
Yes, my dear friends, modern times bring all kinds of new concepts to people.
If you blanched an egg correctly, you would have an egg soup and could not put anything in the ice water.
I have now rhymed a resolution together to the term blanched egg:
Blanched egg is a Google fake cooking term!
Says Chef Thomas Sixt
…blanched egg is searched in Germany 1.000 times per month, I hope that some people find my contribution and now know, that you can NOT blanch an egg.
