Notes

— TM 10-412, Army Recipes (War Department, 15 August 1944), recipe No. 384, Meat. Army measures: 1 No. 56 dipper = 1 qt; 1 No. 55 dipper = 1¾ qt; 1 mess kit cup = 1½ pints.

Getting the egg itself right: Eggs, Cooking by Temperature (Sous Vide, Induction, Steam) — what to set on a sous vide stick, an induction hob, a steamer or the Evoloop cooker, and which yolk each one gives you.
