Thread: eggs

I use one yolk for 6 eggs... I guess it's preference.. I may just have 6 whites and throw in the fat elsewhere during the day's food

For breakfast I have 2 whole eggs and 6-8 whites....

how do you guys cook them? because it takes me a while to eat eggs

I like eggs with mostly whites. It has that fluffy white goodness look scrambled that I love. I just grind pepper on them and sprinkle on some Morton's Hot Salt to wake up the taste buds. While I take that couple of minutes for the eggs the instant grits and Folgers Coffee Singles are nuking to perfection. Breakfast in 3min.

3min? Jesus I throw my eggs on when I wake up and go take a shower. Come out and the first side usually isn't even done yet, and I cook them on 1 notch above half on the stove.

dude ur oven must be shit lol. shower and ur eggs arent done? i take it ur an element kinda guy. With a gas stove, theyd be more burnt than gilbert godfrey at a fryers club.

Your either taking a dam fast shower or somethings suss.

I eat two whole eggs and two eggs whites which I poach. apparently some pros on animalpak.com eat 10 egg whites in the morning with a cup and a half of oats, which personally would make me puke

what way can i make the eggs so i can eat them the quickest?

Nope, shower is usually 10-15min or so including throwing some pants on. First side of my eggs usually takes about 20m, then 4-5m for the second side to finish up.

Holy shit, why not turn up the heat and do one thing at a time?

I love cooking eggs and I am really serious about it. If I mess up cooking an egg, nothing makes me more mad. Its kind of a 'tick' I have.

Frying them usually takes the least amount of time from start to finish.

Scrambled is second in terms of speed, but lowest on my list of taste.

Poached is what Ive been doing lately. I never have to seperate the yolk from the white cuz it hardens during the boil somewhat enough that I just throw out whats left on the plate.

Boiling takes the longest. And...actually, boiled eggs are the least tasty by themselves.

AKIRA:

I'm a shitty, shitty cook

I just spray some pam, throw 1 whole egg and and 1 cup of egg whites then go jump in the shower. Timing works out nearly perfect though so it's not too bad.

mike456:

Cooking steak is usually a 20m job, sear the outside and leave the inside fairly bloody.

Boiled are pretty easy to down. Try boiling a doz when you have a spar 20 minutes and stick them back in the box. At 4 - 6 a serve , they wont even be around long to go off.

So i'm curious: what do you do with the yolks you don't eat? Or do you buy the container of whites? I have a real problem trying to choke down oats so I've been eating grits & eggs instead...

I buy egg whites in a carton. And god I love oats, couldn't imagine a breakfast without them anymore.

I have a chinese friend who takes a yoghurt box full off me to make facial stuff sometimes, but most of the time it's just in a bag and in the freezer until rubbish collection day. Those things sitting in your bin for days in the heat - .. maggot heaven. ick.

I mix it up from time to time. Right now I scramble them most often, but I occassionally hard boil them and eat them with black peppers and hot sauce. I usually eat 1-2 yolks with 5-10 whites.

When scrambling eggs, I separate the undesired yolks from the whites by hand from the bowl and just throw them down the sink. When hardboiling eggs, I take the yolks and throw them in empty cottage cheese containers and chuck them.

The two eggs yolks I dont use each day go down the sink, I hate wasting them but my mum doesnt want/want use them so I dont have much choice.

Whats a garbage disposal?

I throw the unused yolks into the garbage. Many feel like they are wasting money, but if you look into buying pre-packaged egg whites, you'll see you will save a lot of money by buying whole eggs and discarding the yolks.

I usually scramble 5 egg whites and 2 yolks.

When I do eat eggs I eat them whole. But I don't eat them very much- 2-3 times a month so it's no big deal.
