See full technique reference →The technique relies on protein coagulation, where albumin denatures at 60–63 °C, and on the Maillard reaction, which begins above 60 °C and contributes to flavor and a subtle browning. The pH of the egg white, around 7.6–8.0, shifts the coagulation temperature and influences the final mouthfeel.
