These past few weeks my little halogen oven has been very busy. Busy with the baking of the many variety of puff that I have been trying out. I started off with potatoes and mayo, followed by canned spicy tuna. Then I went on to Apple and cinnamon (a great hit with Azwaj and mommy) and finally my personal favorite, chocolate.
Chocolate Puff.. Oh you’re so pretty..
I’m still trying to find the perfect filling for my puff. As I've run out of apples, I’ve been pestering mom to make her “Sambal ikan bilis” and hope she will do that soon. In the meantime.. the halogen oven rest.

I don’t know about you but boiling eggs to get to the 3/4 boiled level is not easy for me. It’s either 1/2 boiled or overboiled in which case it becomes hard boiled egg.
Anyway, during our condo’s family day event, I won this little gadget and was told it will help me with my egg boiling. Just boil water, add it to the gadget to the water level depending on how cooked you want your eggs, put in the eggs and leave it till the water runs from the top level to the bottom level of the container. Sounds too darn easy right? Well you betcha I was skeptical.
Anyway.. I decided to give it a try this morning for breakfast. I put two eggs in, poured hot boiling water to the 2nd level as stated on the container (there are three lines, so I am assuming the middle one would give me 3/4 boiled egg), and put the lid on. The moment the water was poured, the hot water started to drip through a tiny opening at the base of the top container so I guess it must be working right. Keeping the faith, I went to shower.
After about 15 minutes, I returned to find all the water had dripped from the top level to the bottom of the container. I took off the lid and took out the lukewarm eggs and cracked it open into a bowl.
OMG! Impressed I am. Check out the nicely 3/4 boiled eggs below. I am sold!
