EGGS ARE SO GOOD HOW DID THEY GET SO GOOD OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jhøshea, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:46 (eighteen years ago)

I go with over-easy, although "basted" is nice (where you spoon some of the hot oil/butter onto the top of the egg rather than flipping it.

schwantz, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:48 (eighteen years ago)

i voted poached but I really like when they barely cook and make a sauce for carbonara

mizzell, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:52 (eighteen years ago)

Deviled. I'm just saying. See also: that thread about foods u will eat all of.

Jaq, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:53 (eighteen years ago)

JAQ I DEVILLED 8 EGGS (16 PCS) LAST WEEKEND AND ATE ALOMST ALL OF THEM.

Laurel, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

HOW I CAN CHOOSE?? NOOOOO POLL BRAKES HAERT

Laurel, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

Laurel, there is an "Any" option. This is correct.

elmo argonaut, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:56 (eighteen years ago)

where oh where can i get deviled eggs for ma lunch 2day????

Jaq, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

I voted deviled, but I have a crazy fondness for soft-boiled eggs on toast, too. MMMMM, eggs.

Sara R-C, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

Poached>soft boiled>sunny side up>

Michael White, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:01 (eighteen years ago)

I voted Scrambled. Thinking about it though, maybe I shoulda voted Omlette. I mean, it's effing classic.
Close race between those two.

DavidM, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:07 (eighteen years ago)

Mind you, I'd kill for a good fried egg sarnie right now.

DavidM, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:08 (eighteen years ago)

I said hard-boiled in haste.

I'm going to make some deviled eggs this weekend.

Ms Misery, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:08 (eighteen years ago)

I always liked this notion:

The toque (chef's hat) dates back to the 16th century when hats were common in many trades. Different heights of hats indicate rank within a kitchen. The symbolism of the 100 folds of the toque are said to represent that many different ways a chef knows to cook an egg.

dan m, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:13 (eighteen years ago)

over hard, w/ special mention to hard boiled w/ saltwater on passover.

Jordan Sargent, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

jhøshea, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:23 (eighteen years ago)

during my brief bout of veganism even more than the majesty and mystery of cheese i missed eggs.

tipsy mothra, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

OVER EASY OR AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM "DIPPIN EGGS"

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 31 August 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

over easy is what i eat most. but i would not want to live without egg salad, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, omelets, deviled eggs... so hungry right now.

tipsy mothra, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:35 (eighteen years ago)

people i sort of learned something today but maybe not because wtf does this even look like? GIS not exactly helping

Shirred eggs are prepared as a broiled or baked egg dish. Eggs are placed in small buttered dishes referred to as ramekins and broiled until the white is set, but the yolk remains liquid. The eggs may also be baked, but the cooking time is longer and the eggs may become tough and rubbery if cooked too long. Variations of the basic shirred egg may include the addition of herbs, cheese, and/or cream.

jergïns, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

ramekins

jergïns, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

caviar?

Oilyrags, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

shirred egg instructions:

1 crack an egg into a ceramic dish
2 bake
3 serve in same ceramic dish

its like a fried egg, except it's baked, often w/some other stuff in the same dish.

jhøshea, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

omelette, when done right is just like a pillowy-soft perfect thing.

burrito and devilled tie for 2nd

pj, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:56 (eighteen years ago)

'up' is American for 'fried', yes?

Nasty, Brutish & Short, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

yah aka sunny side up.

jhøshea, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

BUT A LOT OF AMERICAN DO JUST SAY "FRIED" SO...

No Scotch egg, no credibility.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Friday, 31 August 2007 19:11 (eighteen years ago)

I am very happy "Pickled" made the list, although I voted for "Any".

what the hell ilx ate my egg post

river wolf, Friday, 31 August 2007 19:17 (eighteen years ago)

jergins, those white/blue round casserole things I left at yr house that had flan in them? Those are XL ramekins.

I made pickled eggs last year! 2 dozen and they were good! Like deviled eggs in the shell sort of.

Jaq, Friday, 31 August 2007 19:24 (eighteen years ago)

which reminds me: flan and custard and all other creamy eggy puddings also win. I should have voted ANY and ALWAYS.

Jaq, Friday, 31 August 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

boiled medium or over-medium eggs aw yeah with some avocado and some salsa

rrrobyn, Friday, 31 August 2007 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

I spent years perfecting my keen skills at fryinging a perfect, delicious over-easy/medium egg. The white is crispy and yum but tender in the middle, and the yolk is wonderful hot fondue pot of viscous sunny cholesterol yum. I am so proud of this skill, my perfect egg frying. Anyone can make over hard.

I also make quite good scrambled eggs, ouefs brioches (sp?) or Denny's (regular) style. The key is to stir in some milk, and to love with a passion making perfect eggs.

No way in hell can I figure out this poaching thing, though.

Abbott, Friday, 31 August 2007 20:21 (eighteen years ago)

I loved when I worked in a diner and people would ask for "the two eggs any style," as though that were its title.

Abbott, Friday, 31 August 2007 20:21 (eighteen years ago)

ill take the soup of the day

jhøshea, Friday, 31 August 2007 20:22 (eighteen years ago)

scrabbled

gabbneb, Friday, 31 August 2007 20:22 (eighteen years ago)

Also in my year of the egg: slow-roasted eggs, held at 250 F for 18 hours until the whites turned tan. They tasted like pretzels.

Jaq, Friday, 31 August 2007 20:22 (eighteen years ago)

secret to poaching: lots vinegar in water

jhøshea, Friday, 31 August 2007 20:23 (eighteen years ago)

where is "sunny side up"?

kenan, Friday, 31 August 2007 20:24 (eighteen years ago)

vingear, really? I just swirl the water and chuck 'em in.

ledge, Friday, 31 August 2007 20:27 (eighteen years ago)

i believe that's "Up"
xpost
slow-roasted eggs?? craziness! taking like the fastest cooking thing and making it the slowest cooking thing! i bet that originated with the baked beans in the ground thing, where you bury the pot of beans with hot coals. like you'd bury the eggs.

rrrobyn, Friday, 31 August 2007 20:27 (eighteen years ago)

have had trouble making it work with just the lid on

Dan S, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:17 (five years ago)

Crisp?!

spruce springclean (darraghmac), Friday, 18 December 2020 01:18 (five years ago)

I tell myself, and i try to believe it honest to god i do, that this site isnt a fuckin project to pull my leg, but ye do try me in it

spruce springclean (darraghmac), Friday, 18 December 2020 01:19 (five years ago)

I use a lid when I'm doing Spanish style tortilla, but not for fried eggs.

calzino, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:19 (five years ago)

xp lid on just never seems to cook the tops enough

Dan S, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:20 (five years ago)

Ok lets roll the sleeves up here

What do ye mean, to begin with, by terms like "egg", "lid", "cooked"

spruce springclean (darraghmac), Friday, 18 December 2020 01:23 (five years ago)

steamed =! fried u savage

howls of non-specificity (sleeve), Friday, 18 December 2020 01:25 (five years ago)

better than a lid for my *Spanish style tortilla* is just putting the pan in the oven to finish it off recently tbh!

calzino, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:26 (five years ago)

a cooked bottom, a perfectly runny yolk, and a very lightly cooked top

my best way of achieving that has been by basting eggs fried in basting fat, but more simply by flipping them over easy and then serving

as a 5 year year old I watched in horror as my grandpa who lived with us drank a raw egg for breakfast one morning

Dan S, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:38 (five years ago)

I just did a spanish egg tortilla for the first time recently.. it was good, but it could've been better. I was using my gf's nonstick, I don't own one. I'll try it again.

Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:38 (five years ago)

I think the key to a wonderfully tasty tortilla is properly caramelising them onions before even thinking about adding the egg

calzino, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:46 (five years ago)

I feel like the onions came okay.. it just didn't have the nicely textured browning on the outside.... we did the whole pan flipping thing and it was kind of a mess. You live, learn.

Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:48 (five years ago)

but I would be interested to hear about ppl's fave tortilla recipes - It's a potentially very simple and fantastic meal

calzino, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:48 (five years ago)

well not recipe, there isn't much to it!

calzino, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:49 (five years ago)

the idea of crisp eggs being anything but an accident

kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 18 December 2020 01:49 (five years ago)

i love an over easy egg. i don't so much flip them as gently roll them over so they are little egg white blankies with the happy little uncooked yolk snuggled inside all warm

superdeep borehole (harbl), Friday, 18 December 2020 01:51 (five years ago)

love a good over-easy

i tried the water trick in my scrambled eggs for lunch & it was def flufffier. thx egg ppl itt!!

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 18 December 2020 01:53 (five years ago)

I keep thinking about how a combo fried bread and egg yolk and bacon or sausage and brown sauce actually makes want to not die yet and live on for decades

calzino, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:56 (five years ago)

i am going to eat some hard boiled eggs tomorrow, but not too hard, just 4 minutes in the pressure cooker imo

superdeep borehole (harbl), Friday, 18 December 2020 01:56 (five years ago)

Eggs come out chooks' bums... you guys know that, right?

Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 18 December 2020 01:59 (five years ago)

I like to get a nice rolling boil going. I add a bit of white wine vinegar. Then i swirl the water. Next, now this is very important, i fire up the RZ-6 for a minute to crack 320 eggs into the water.

kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 18 December 2020 02:54 (five years ago)

could you be more condescending

Dan S, Friday, 18 December 2020 03:37 (five years ago)

Sorry if I'm coming across that way. Truth is I missed eggbreaker until now, and I am genuinely blown away by these machines.

kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 18 December 2020 03:50 (five years ago)

though I'm also googling for a Friends episode heavy on eggs in case I missed something.

kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 18 December 2020 03:52 (five years ago)

I used to work in a canteen which toured around music festivals in the UK and some days would be frying eggs for five hours at a go, I was soon able to crack eggs and drop them in the pan with one hand in three seconds, no broken yolks, and can still do this 20 years later, there is no conceivable way an egg-breaking machine would make bulk egg-breaking any easier.

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 18 December 2020 07:37 (five years ago)

but it would do 300 more per minute. I am very jealous of people with the one handed egg cracking skill.

kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 18 December 2020 07:42 (five years ago)

who needs 300 per minute except a large factory who have these things anyway?

spruce springclean (darraghmac), Friday, 18 December 2020 21:30 (five years ago)

I needed to break some for dinner today and did a speed test, sorry to report it takes me a whole 6 seconds now, and one yolk was broken out of five, stupid arthritic finger doesn't help.

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 18 December 2020 21:37 (five years ago)

and what was the speed on putting them back together?

kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 18 December 2020 21:40 (five years ago)

Would probably vote "Over Easy" for combination of taste, texture and easiness factor. Momofuku Chili Crunch oil is my new favorite egg topping.

o. nate, Friday, 18 December 2020 21:43 (five years ago)

Breaking eggs one of them tasks where if you think about it too much you probably will break the yolk. Once I broke 2 in a row and was loudly swearing at the eggs like it was their fault. I stubbornly put the broken ones in the dog bowl until I got it right 3rd time lucky. It was pathetic behaviour but at least the dog won.

calzino, Friday, 18 December 2020 21:51 (five years ago)

we all had dippy eggs for lunch today

kinder, Friday, 18 December 2020 21:53 (five years ago)

This just caused me to remember my name for scrambled eggs when I was very, very young was "puke eggs".

Luckily, I got over that.
