* * * Cook's Tips. When raw eggs are called for in a recipe, there are a
couple of methods a cook can use to make the eggs safer. Here are two
methods The Times Test Kitchen uses to heat egg yolks before using them in
recipes that traditionally use raw yolks.

Stove-Top Method: Heat 2 egg yolks over very low heat in saucepan with 1/4
cup of the most acidic liquid called for in the recipe. The acidity in
vinegar and citrus juice helps prevent the yolks from curdling. Stir the
yolks constantly until they thicken like lemon curd, 3 to 4 minutes. If
using cooking thermometer, check that yolks are heated to 160 degrees or to
140 for 3 1/2 minutes.


Notes: This is not the baked souffle you might expect but a frozen gelatin
dessert. Note that the yolks cook when hot syrup is stirred into the
gelatin mixture. It is vital that the syrup be hot when added to the yolks
so that the yolks cook enough to kill the pathogens that can cause
food-borne illnesses. To make the eggs even safer, see Cook's Tips.
