Clearly you are surrounded by fools.

I always boil one egg or three because I'm embarassed to boil two.

[-] Hux@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

Just cut one in half before you boil it, so it feels Like you are boiling three, but only using two. And one of them is extra-big, so you should feel really excited—like, “Wow, look at how big this one egg is!”

I've never considered this.

I bought an egg cooker a few years ago. It cost about $15 and very quickly steams eggs with great results. The reason I bought it was because I thought it was a good, efficient way to handle smaller batches, but I found that for some reason it doesn't produce the foul egg smell that is typical with boiling eggs.

That sulfurous smell is associated with overcooking eggs. Sounds like the device you have doesn't overcook eggs.

Hehe, that guy has an egg cooker that can't overcook eggs.

[-] sevan@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

I guess my egg timer wasn't so smart then. It's cute though.

[-] rbos@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Steaming in an Instant Pot at pressure works really well too.

I like boiled eggs. Fried eggs are also nice.

[-] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

Poached are the best because when you cut them they cum

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Depends how you fry your eggs.

[-] antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

What’s your process? I like to put the eggs in the pot first. Then I bring it to the sink and cover them with cold water. I put it on the stove and heat it up on high. When it boils I put the lid on and turn the heat off, and set a timer for 11 minutes. Now you may be thinking that’s way too hard, but the temperature is dropping without heat. Yolk is just barely solid in the center. Then I chill them with cold water and dry them off while they’re still warm, and put them in the fridge.

I figured out how to boil farm fresh eggs that peel easily. Bring water to boil, let eggs warm up on the counter. Once boiling put the eggs gently into the pot with a spoon. Bring back to a boil, cover pot, turn off heat, and let sit for 15 minutes for medium or 18 minutes for hard. While waiting, fill a big bowl with ice and water. Once eggs are done, spoon them immediately into ice water bath. They’re done when they’re cool to the touch.

Hard boiled peeled eggs can be stored for up to five days in a ziplock in the refrigerator. You can go wild next time. I wonder if there's a community for that...

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

i personally just put them unpeeled in the fridge and then skip the peeling process entirely when i go to eat them.

instead of peeling them, i smack them on the outside with a spoon to create a crack, then rip the eggs in half. afterwards, i can use the spoon to scoop out the insides of each half. usually takes me way less time than peeling, but im also not very good at peeling

Because the eggs are unable to open the bag due to lack of opposable thumbs

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago

I would like some boiled eggs :(

[-] Hux@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago

Please send a self-addressed envelope. It will have to be inside another envelope. But that one should have my address—the one on the outside.

I can’t give you my address, but I’m on one of the continents and via process of elimination, you’ll get it eventually.

It might take a while, so you should probably remind me by including a note that you want the boiled eggs.

It might sound like you would end up sending letters asking for eggs to everyone on earth, but unless I’m the last address you send to, that seems pretty unlikely.

I promise fast boiled-egg shipping once I receive the self-addressed envelope (inside the envelope with my address that arrives at my address). You may need to plan to receive other eggs from other people at other addresses, if they respond to your boiled-egg request attempts.

Apologies in advance, I have a policy of not dealing in hollandaise.

Round-trip mailing of a disc is mailing, under specific criteria, from a mailer who expects to receive the disc back from a subscriber. Large Envelopes (Flats) that exceed 13 ounces are mailed at the Priority Mail® rate

Size Requirements: Minimum Size: 6⅛ inches by 11½ inches Maximum Size: 12 inches by 15 inches Thickness: ¼ inch to ¾ inch

You will need to slice the eggs in order to place them in the envelope.

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Soft boiled or hard boiled?

[-] Hux@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago

That’s really up to the eggs…

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Eggs take the wheel.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

This is an acceptable way to eat eggs, though I do not care for it on a personal level.

[-] Hux@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

I’ve had that as a framed needlepoint above my stove since the war.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

**6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
