How long does /ck/ like to boil their eggs?

I overcook them every time and dont give a fuck about the darker yolk. 16 minutes boiling.

depends on what I'm using them for, but about 8.5 minutes for "hard boiled"

6 minutes for soft boiled.

All you have to do is turn off the heat when the water starts boiling and just let the eggs sit in the water for about 10 minutes.

This is the worst way to do eggs. You have no no control over the heat because of the starting temp of water, the volume of water, the amount of heat your burner puts out, and the heat capacity of your vessel. Having the water boiling ensures that it's at pretty much 100C

[Anonymous No.14729088]

Heating from cold makes them stick to the shell.

Only add eggs to boiling water.

I put eggs in water in electric kettle. Turn kettle on. Take eggs out 10 minutes after kettle done. Cold water bath. Perfect every time.

There’s something very uninteresting about brown women. It’s like there’s millions of them but if you’ve seen you’ve seen them all. They are all desperate for white men so I rank even the best 5/10 because I don’t have to try to get them. They just suck, they age like milk and get fat instantly when you put the ring her finger like some sort of life raft. What a curse race of “people”.

yeah, because you had enough trial and error to calibrate your cooking medium and cooking vessel. It would be like telling people to be perfectly comfortable, turn the AC to 80% cold, 60% fan after having the engine running for 8 minutes on a clear New England August evening.

I always have trouble with the shell sticking to the white when I do this. But they peel perfectly every time if I boil the water first, then put them in.

>>14729096

I don't have that issue if I use a slotted spoon to slowly lower them in. If you just drop them in the pot then yeah some will crack.

[Anonymous No.14729205]

>>14729125
How do you do it?

My thought process is the same for when I boil potatoes, which is rare nowadays, i.e. put them in cold water and let them heat slowly with the water.

Actually, I would prefer to cook eggs on a skilled, but I don't have a good non-stick for that, and I don't wanna put loads of butter or oil, so I have to hard boil them, which takes far too long for me.

At least brown women are more faithful than white women, know their place, and will want to marry and have children. That being said, white women age worse than any other race.

[Anonymous No.14729227]

>>14729118
Facial features for brown women are a lot more important in my experience because they don't get to have less common eye/natural hair color for the most part to make up for an average face. But if you see a brown woman with really nice facial features it stands out a lot.

[Anonymous No.14729230]

>>14729205
use practically any vessel you have, but make sure the water is vigorously boiling. Science is a motherfucker, and pure water in liquid form generally can't get any hotter than 100C. So the time is the same whether you are using some shitty non-stick 4 cup sauce pot or a 10 gallon stock pot.

Put a small on the narrow end of the egg. It'll never crack and they'll peel easy.

If they avoid getting skin damage from the sun and don't do something retarded like going tanning then they age about the same.

9 minutes, between soft boiled and soft yolk. Cold water bath after boiling is a MUST or I'd find them disgusting to eat.

[Anonymous No.14729251]

>>14729201
Peel them under running water. The water will help pull the membrane under the shell off. And if you're tired of then cracking, poke a pinhole in the round part of the shell right at the bottom. There's an air pocket there and it'll relieve the pressure before you throw them in the water.

[Anonymous No.14729260]

>>14729243
Wrong. White women lead extremely promiscuous lives, filled with partying, drinking, and drug use, which takes a toll on their body, causing them to age like dogs. Not to mention white women have poor diets.

I'm gonna give it a go tomorrow, but I've heard that is related to how fresh the egg is, but that could be another superstition. What I believe is that it depends on the chicken and her diet and that there's nothing one can do to affect the membrane from being difficult to remove.

BUT

I will try this tomorrow.

[Anonymous No.14729716]

you get a room temp egg and start in hot water
3-4 minutes for runny yolks

[Anonymous No.14729721]

>>14729251
I always peel them under running water, but when starting in cold water then bringing up to a boil the shell would still stick and I'd end up with mangled eggs.

>>14729702
With the same eggs I had like maybe 1 out 10 peel cleanly with the starting in cold water method, but now it's 1 out of 10 that don't peel cleanly with boiling the water first, and if the shell does stick it's only a little bit. Just remember to add a few minutes to the cook time if you're used to starting in cold water though, for large eggs it's about 12-13 minutes for hard boiled.

[Anonymous No.14729726]

>>14729702
kenji did a massive experiment with like 500 eggs
start in hot water for better peelin

Dr Karl also said something about the freshness of the egg and how much Carbon-something is in it can affect the proteins on the inside and how they bind together and to the membrane

[Anonymous No.14729728]

>>14729702
There are lots of factors, but one you can rely on is an older egg having a more detetiorated membrane inside the shell.

first I puncture each egg with a needle to vacate the oxygen while boiling and make for a seamless peeling later.

boil about 7.5 to 8 minutes then toss in iced water. wait a few for them to cool then I peel and toss them in a marinade container for at least 3 days. they come out perfect for ramen and many other Asian dishes.

in case you're wondering about the marinade, it's one cup water, ½cup sake, ½cup mirin, ½cup soy sauce and ⅛cup sugar. bring it all to a quick boil and immediately cool. once cold you can use as a marinade immediately.

works great with bamboo shoots too!

I like hardboiled eggs, so after a few attempts I've decided on 10 minutes. A lot of people would call that dry and gay, but I've come to really enjoy it as it makes for a pretty easy snack.
