This technique is called bain marie. In a bath is basically what it translates to from french.
This is the ONLY way to cooks eggs as the conductive properties of the water bath produce much more consistent application of heat.
Discredit french cooking snd techniques breh. Just made some scrambled eggs a minute ago.
I simply go with a small slice of buttter, salt pepper and a capful of cream...
Never produces bad results
