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.
I heard this in Mitch Hedberg’s voice. And it was bittersweet.
Soft boiled or hard boiled?
That’s really up to the eggs…
Eggs take the wheel.
Clearly you are surrounded by fools.
Have you tried steaming eggs. Reduce the water, so it takes less time to come to a boil. The lack of submersion makes no difference to cooking time. Do cover the pot obviously.
Quicker cooking time. I think they make for better eggs too but thats opinion based.
Save water, save time.
Might as well go the microwave route if time and water efficiency is the goal.
I would sooner rip out my throat ❤️
How come?
Throat cancer :(
Before your throat cancer :( did you ever try this cheese? https://lemmy.world/post/22508662
I make it myself
Nice! Post it on Loops so I can watch!
Mm throat cheese.
I also think steamed eggs are better, and because they’re not bouncing around in a boiling pot of water they tend to stay intact better.
Plus with a big enough steamer you can do dozens of eggs at once. Dozens!
This sounds very dangerous and so I’ve report your comment.
Thank you for your service
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…
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
Why the ziplock bag?
Because the eggs are unable to open the bag due to lack of opposable thumbs
They dont make ziplock boxes
Because if they are peeled the oxygen can get in, i’m guessing.
So the whole refrigerator doesn’t smell like farty eggs. A jar with a lid works, too.
Ah I see. Thanks for explaining. I store them unpeeled, indeed.
I would like some boiled eggs :(
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.
This is an acceptable way to eat eggs, though I do not care for it on a personal level.
I’ve had that as a framed needlepoint above my stove since the war.
