Question about your breakfast eggs

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.

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.

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).

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).?

We have to refrigerate eggs. In Europe they don’t.

How many eggs do you eat ? 

I most time have 3 eggs. Omelette or fried 

love hard boiled eggs 

love egg Benedict with hash. 

I eat eggs 4-6 times a week.

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.

Ex...and yet we are told not to leave baked goods out at room temp for more than 3 days if they contain eggs.(donuts,cookies etc)

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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

For me, one egg of a leatherback sea turtle, in a cold beer, with a dash of tobasco.

Maybe Gugny will remember this well..when we were stationed in SoCal. Spam (pork parts/potted meat))fried in eggs and rice with fish oil base.

It sounds gross but was pretty darn good.

Tough to find on the east coast...

you always fry SPAM.

Isn't that a soft boiled egg? 

 

Poached  I do that.  Simmer in sauce pan, inch of water w/vinegar, put/slide the eggs (already cracked & in cups) in , cover, take heat off. 7 minutes.

 

I like eggs anyway possible.

The first process is hard boiled.  I like them hard boiled but will eat them soft boiled.  But if you're cooking them at a rolling boil for 12 minutes you've got cement boiled.

I'm a white egg guy. My parents raise chickens and the yolks are definitely stronger in the brown eggs. Another thing I've learned is that you cant make hard boiled eggs from fresh chicken eggs because you can't peel the shell properly.

 

If you are trying to hard boil fresh eggs, some baking soda in the water could help (not a ton, a ½ teaspoon to a teaspoon per gallon).  Some people swear salt works but that has not been my experience. ?‍♀️

omelettes? they are essentially scrambled eggs.

 Well DUH, of course I eat omlettes. They're scrambled! Omlettes aren't a type of egg preparation. Scramble the eggs, then prepare the scramble anyway you'd like.

If you don't was the protective coating off, no need to refrigerate.  In the US the law requires the eggs to be washed and thus the difference in storage.

I like cement boiled. Eggs don't matter to me.  The yolk gray and flakey. ?

OPINION: Fried eggs are gross. I can't stand them at all. 

DISCLAIMER: I have had a fried egg on a burger once. At Roast, in Detroit. Basically they take all the steak trimmings, and make burgers out of those. They offer a fried egg on top. It was really, really amazing. But a fried egg on its own? Hard, HARD pass.

I had heard it was due to freshness, but I guess just assumed fresher was better. Interesting!
