Tip
Cooking time may vary due to factors such as the temperature of the eggs, butter and the room.
So the last step of cooking (step 7) may be shorter or longer, and will have to be checked a couple of times during the stated cooking time. Scrape sides down while you do the check, it also helps to cook it evenly.

Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
