Not cooking eggs with care
When prepared properly, sous vide eggs may be amazing – just take a look at this recipe for sous vide egg bites, which yields nicely sized side servings with an extra velvety texture. It's difficult to mess up something as simple as egg bits, right? Although eggs are promoted as a fail-safe alternative, depending on how you cook them, these little but potent protein sources may be sensitive items. When you start cooking eggs, things might become challenging. If you're not careful, the pressure and crowding in the sous vide bag might cause your eggs to shatter.
Even though cooking with sous vide is ultimately a precise and long process, hot water is still used. This basically means that if you put in too many eggs at once, the shells will bump into one another and break. Treating eggs as you would any other sous vide ingredient by placing them in a bag and vacuum sealing them to eliminate any free space is a great way to prevent your sous vide eggs from cracking. By doing so, they will remain stationary, safely tucked inside the sous vide.
