Pasteurized Eggs Sous Vide
Some recipes (mayonnaise, meringue, Caesar dressing, egg nog) call for using raw eggs. You can purchase (in the US anyway) pasteurized eggs in many/most chain grocery stores, but at a premium. However, with your water oven, you can pasteurize your own effortlessly and inexpensively. Here’s how:
