start with room temperature eggs
boil the water 4 times more than the eggs.
place eggs in boiling water.
boil 5 minutes
shut off heat
let sit 7 minutes
rinse under cold running water for 15 minutes.

how hard is that?

>>14039440
>boil the water 4 times more than the eggs.
meaning more water than eggs.

>>14039393
throw eggs in already boiling water for 6 minutes. take them out immediately. you're done. if you're really worried about them overcooking, shock them in cold water when you pull them out

Steam your eggs instead, they come out better and more consistent

I can't stand this guys voice but this video is good

1 cover eggs with an inch of water
2 bring to boil
3 turn off heat
4 let sit in water 15 minutes
5 replace water with cold water

>>14039393
I’ve said this before and I stick with it. Buy a carton of eggs and figure out what your batch size is. Six is good because it’s 2, 2, 2 or 3, 3 and eggs are great in the fridge for a while.

Fill your pot up to just hitting the bolts or whatever you want, you just need the same amount each time. Same pan, same amount of water, same amount of eggs directly from your fridge. You also need a digital timer but everyone has one on their phone.

Bring your water up to boil. Spoon in the eggs, hit start. The moment the water starts to bubble again, you know the little bubbles on the bottom that start releasing, turn off the heat and cover.

At minute 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 tong out one egg and cover the pot back up quickly. Rinse in cold water until no longer too hot to handle. Then putthe motherfucker in a lineup.

When done, shell each egg, and then cut in half, moving right down the line. Snap a picture from your phone. There you go, for $2 you just conquered this forever.

>>14039393
boil the water then take off the stove then put eggs. It'll take like 1-2 more min than usual

>>14039499
I did not know the crack and leave them on the water. Will try next time.

>>14039393
I can't make grilled cheese for the life of me. Guess I'm just retarded

>>14040575
What seems to be the problem, son.

>>14040578
Burnt black bread or cheese not melted. I refuse to use "cheese" slices

>>14040590
sounds like you should lower the heat

>>14040592
No, then the bread gets soggy

>>14040590
You need to use medium heat to get the inner sides of the bread hot. Then the cheese goes on the hot inner sides. You may need a heat dome to capture ambient heat if your slices are thick and cold enough. Once on the outside and the sandwich is put together, you have to flip continuously for even heat penetration to the sandwich core. It’s not a one flip sandwich unless you are using American cheese. It’s more of a 10 flip sandwich, plus heat dome or cover if you have one.

>>14039447
So for 2 eggs use 8 water

>>14040590
>I refuse to use "cheese" slices
That's the defining feature of a classic grilled cheese though
It just ain't the same using fancy cheese, you gotta use the cheap ass american cheese slices.

>>14040612
cope, mutt

>>14039440
Or just put in boiling water for six minutes and then under cold running water for three.

>>14039440
5 minutes? are you a savage that enjoys your eggs to be nuked?

Christ almighty.

>>14039393
The eggs still "cook" for a few minutes after taking them out of the water so you might be having different results because you:
>Peel the eggs while they're still hot/not hot and so stop the cooking earlier/later
>Put them under cold water on different times

>>14039440
That is absolutely not how you cook eggs.
Put eggs in water. Turn on heat and bring to boil. Turn off heat. Let sit for 5-10 minutes depending on preference. The gentle cooking lets you modulate more easily the doneness of your egg

>>14040714
my way will make your eggs perfectly exactly done and they will peal easily every time.
>>14039440

>>14039440
NO.

>start with whatever temperature eggs you want
>room temperature water
>once it boils, about 5 minutes will give you medium eggs.

Rice. I either burn or overcook some at the bottom or I don’t cook it enough and it’s still hard.

Whatever the timing is I just always seem to mess it up.

>>14039440
>rinse under cold water for 15 minutes
fucking kek @ this retard
literally just cook them lmao. Experiment getting medium boiled then once you find it subtract 15 seconds for soft-boiled or add up to a whole minute for hard-boiled, depending on how hard you want it. Use the timer function in your microwave and get it down to the second. Took me 3 tries to find exactly 6 minutes for me. Use a slotted spoon or spider to quickly fish em out. let rest at room temp for like 3 minutes so you can eat em warm.

Wash your rice
Put one cup into pot
Lil bit of oil and spice
Two cup water
Bring to boil
Reduce heat to low and let all moisture cook out
Stir in butter after rice has cooked.
If rice is still too hard add water before butter and boil out.

>>14039393
poke a tiny hole in the bottom of the egg
lets a little bit of air escape and makes cooking it easier

>>14042770

>>14042830
it's a real thing nigger try it
eases off the pressure in the eggs, makes it cook more evenly

>>14042442
What's the purpose of the oil and the butter?

>>14039393
Use chef johns steaming method. It's all I do anymore

>>14042096
wrong

>>14042392
also wrong

>>14042860
stop making up shit you bastard

>>14044836
Not him and hes not lying

Another tip is to spin the eggs in the water and keep them moving makes the yolk centered and better cooked

>>14044555
To waste oil and butter, for rice cooking time and amount of water are key. You want about 1 or 1 1/2 fingers of water above your rice let it cook with half the lid on, once the water is drying up you check to see if it's cooked, if yes then turn off heat and let the rest of the water evaporate, if not then add some and let it cook some more OR if only slightly under just put the lid over it and let the vapor finish cooking it.
At most you put some olive oil or butter at the very end if you want to keep it extra separated but I find it unnecessary if you prepared it right.
Steaming rice offers great results too, very easy and it becomes fluffy and separated.

k

>>14044874
(shh don't tell him)

>>14039440
>boil the water 4 times

I just put eggs in boiling water, set a timer and it comes out perfect every time.

>>14039393
This thread reminds of the time my was making a soft boiled egg and undercooked it. She put it in the microwave thinking it would be okay because it already had the top cut off.
Next thing KABLAMMO! it went off like a grenade and blew the door open sending egg all over the kitchen

>>14040599
bring the cheese up to room temp, use more butter, take the heat down, and get some better bread or just fucking give up on toasting bread in butter. you can finish it on high heat to remove some moisture just be mindful do to it swiftly.

>>14040614
This is why you'll never cook well

>>14040575
whenever i can't get the cheese to melt i just put a lid on the pan that usually works

mac and cheese

forever mac and cheese

>>14040590
>american flavored

>>14049848
Taste the Mid West bitch!

Cookies. They either crumble to death or get stuck in the paper.

Smoothies. Though I may just have a shitty blender I can never manage to make them with the consistency as say Jamba Juice smoothies. The ice always ends up being a distinct pebble size or just waters the whole thing down

>>14039393
these things can fuck off
i always get the yolk to whatever consistency i'm going for but then obliterate the eggs trying to get the shell off
all the usual tips don't seem to help
