very confusingly written.

I am confused... when do I need to steam the egg whites? how many minutes? before or after making the custard?

Response from the Magimix team: The egg whites should be steamed for 4-5 minutes directly after making the custard. We’ll make sure to clarify the timing in the recipe. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
