Eggplant redux

[Whansami]

Okay, I'm the one who was trying to make the custardy eggplant, but had the oven too low. Tonight, I
tried again, with the oven at 475. A bit more custardy, but still yellow, whereas the ones I had at
the dinner were that greyish color eggplant gets sometimes.

My husband suggested that they were steamed, but it seemed to me that they were served on the same
large baking pan that they were baked on, because none of them were misshapen. So, I was
wondering.... does anyone know if steaming in the oven works? Could I put a big casserole in the
oven and them, once the water boils put in the baking sheet of eggplant?

Now I'm REALLY curious as to how to make these!

Possibly a zapper?

Your problem is that you're actually cooking eggplant, instead of putting it directly into the
compost bin.

HTH!

IMO, steam first, on the stovetop (steam the slices, approx. 8 min.), then grill. I always steam
eggplant if I'm going to pan-fry of grill it, and the results are awesome.
