Question about your breakfast eggs


Recommended Posts

Really.  How long do you boil?  Solid 12 minutes in a rolling boil? Then immediately take out and cool in the refrigerator.  Yeah, fresher is a little harder... But usually there is a void at tip,  peels right off.

 

Right away peeled, even easier under cold running water.

I never did it, but they told me after multiple tries that the shell sticks to the egg. Even after taking them straight to the fridge and submerging them in ice water. Not sure how long the went between delivery and preparation.

Yeah... I just looked at egg cartons even a weeks old and it says June 6th... Eggs last along time and actually better if not that new (what I recall reading somewhere).

I never cared, but now I've been informed that I have a secret bias toward white eggs that I need to acknowledge, so going forward I'll be eating more brown eggs.

Just so you know.  I am giving you 250 "adversity points" for this post.

 

Hope it takes you to the next level! NOW, we just gotta find a way to spot the Sabres to a 3 goal lead and Bills 17 (28 against the Cheaters in Foxborough).?

In the spring/summer..Redlinski sells eggs outside in 70/80 degree weather.

We keep our eggs in the fridge..my aunt,for example,has a bowl of them on her kitchen counter...24/7.

I guess aborted chickens don't need to be refrigerated..

Shells are a natural barrier.  No washing of the eggs.  I was told that when hens lay eggs there is some king of mucus that dries and seals the shell and is best not to wash it off.  If its really bad like covered in ***** I'll wash it.  Usually they are clean like you see in the store.

That’s what the daughter in law was advised to do when she first got the hens, and practices that procedure.

Nope.  I was shocked too.  I just read an article of things that you don't (NECESSARILY) need to refrigerate.  Eggs, were one of them.  Hard to believe, carton says to refrigerate.

EGGS:

"This debate is as old as the fridge itself – where do you store your eggs? We’ve known people on either side of the debate who are both adamant that eggs should be absolutely and undeniably in/out the fridge. Which is it?"

Like the poster above... The shell is protection.  A crack, oozing egg, another story.  Probably a day or two in fridge.  Forget about Redlinski parking lot in July!

12 minutes rolling boil??  How do you eat them?  With a chisel?  

 

Cold water bring to a boil and take off the heat immediately.  Cover and let sit 10 minutes and chill under cold water. Perfect every time.  I actually have no problem with cooking them less.  I like soft slightly runny yolks in my hard boiled eggs.

SCRAMBLED ONLY. 

I'd rather drink a hot Corona from 1997 than eat eggs in any other fashion.

You can put a cracked egg(no shell) in a coffee cup..then into the microwave for about 20 seconds..check on it don't walk away..40 seconds total..give or take.Just make sure they don't blow up.

I dream of the day an egg is judged based on the content of it's yolk and not the color of it's shell. 

I have a good friend in Vegas that is the food purchaser for Hilton Hotels..he told me,eggs are very much secondary..fresh vegetables and fruits need daily buying...that's how shotty produce has become in this country.

Keep in mind...he's the same bud that attacked me with a broom..he had a horsehead on and was laced on peyote.

Chefs are a odd breed

You would like my daughter in law.  She refuses to charge anyone for eggs.  The eggs from her hens are truly ‘free at last’.
