How do I know a beaten egg has “set” while cooking stovetop rice pudding?
The pudding is good, nice and creamy. My concern is feeding people uncooked egg as the time to stir in egg mixture is more a texture while stirring than a time to be sure the egg is cooked into the pudding.

How hot is the pudding?
At or near boiling the egg will be set by the time you can stir it in, certainly by the time you can serve it.
One egg in a couple of pints of piping hot (semi) liquid will be at temperature almost immediately.

How do you know when pudding is set?
It will thicken up more as it cools, but you stir in a little more milk just before serving to loosen it up some. No need to go out and buy a bag of short grain or medium grain rice. This Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding cooks prefectly with long grain rice.Will my rice pudding thicken when it cools?
Maybe you didn't add enough liquid to begin with. Whatever the case, if your rice is looking dried out, or the texture is still hard or crunchy when all the liquid has been absorbed, add up to \xbd cup water and return to a simmer with the lid on.Why is my rice pudding rice still hard?
Once you add the egg mixture to the pudding, you can only cook the pudding for a few minutes; if you cook it longer than that, you will overcook the eggs, and the pudding will be more like a custard and will have a grainy consistency.Whipping Egg Whites To Perfect Peaks
