[Teh One Who Knocks]

I like mine either the soft scrambled (which you can only do at home because a restaurant won't serve them that way) or over medium.

[DemonGeminiX]

I've only eaten hard boiled when they're deviled eggs. Typically scrambled, sunny side up, or over easy. I've had omelettes and sandwiches which are typically fried eggs in a pan. I don't think I've ever tried them any other way, unless they were a part of something else, like a quiche or something like that.

[Noilly Pratt]

Hard scrambled with grated cheddar cheese, a little bit of onions and sriracha mixed right in.

[Muddy]

1,2,4,6,9 I like all of those...

I think you might be the only other person I know that likes #4 besides me. Most people get all grossed out if the scrambled eggs are a little "wet".

I don't like an old hard ass egg unless it's made into a deviled egg..!

It doesn't bother me. I actually don't make a distinction. I'll eat them either way.

[Muddy]

I have a friend that eats scrambled eggs and have to squash them all through the tines of his fork before he eats them.. It grosses me out...

I'll eat them either way, especially since you only get them one way at a restaurant, but I definitely prefer them soft scrambled.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

I eat them all the ways described depending on my mood

[Muddy]

:wtf:

He's a weird fucker some times.. He also wipes his mouth off like hes chipping slag off of a dirty weld and then throws the napkin down (face-up) on the table beside his plate on every bite..

I wouldn't eat with that dude. I might be tempted to shoot him in the face.

I tried to teach him how to put a napkin in his lap when he ate and he said he didn't need my life lessons.

:lol:

[Pony]

Pretty much any way but I do like over medium. The bagels I get on the island with bacon, cheese and an over medium egg are amazing.

[Griffin]

Egg holes have always been my favorite and the grand kids love em. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/187850/egg-in-a-hole/

[Godfather]

I'll eat eggs prepared any way as long as the yolk is still runny. Gotta be like a nice syrupy texture for the meal IMO.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

What about omelets? :-k I have to REALLY be in the mood for one of those to even consider wanting one.

[DemonGeminiX]

Bacon and cheese omelet. Dice up the cooked bacon, shredded Mexican cheese or Colby Jack. I don't cook it too often, I usually take the easy way out, but every once in a while...

[Hal-9000]

Mom used to poach them often way back when I was short and I always made fried eggs sunny side up as a kid.

In high school we used to party every weekend at my place and it became a tradition for my best friend to come over Saturday afternoon and watch Stampede Wrestling (Harts before WWF).

One of us would supply a dozen eggs, the other guy a pound of bacon and we'd chop the bacon up, fry it up with onions and make a huge scrambled egg dish.

It was our hangover cure for years :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I really don't think I've ever had a poached egg tbh :-k

[Hal-9000]

Sounds as if you like your eggs like your burgers, uncooked, so probably poached isn't for you.

You and GF are nasty :lol:

Gotta go, early morning posting is no fun here. Don't want to get shot for using a napkin ffs :lmao:

Not a big omelette guy, most of the time the eggs get over-cooked and the shit inside like peppers and onions aren't cooked properly so it's just unenjoyable. I just need runny yolk. Scramble the other ingredients with some taters on the side but give me my runny eggs.


My wife is the opposite of me, even for fried eggs she wants the yolk broken and spread out so she doesn't have to look at it :lol: Savage.

Those I can do. 99% of the time though scrambled eggs are cooked to dry fucking hell.

[Hal-9000]

You can cook scrambled eggs so they're firm, but still juicy :wank:

If they come out that dry stop cooking them over a fire ffs! :x

Go off somewhere and eat you ol' scrambled sawdust :hand:

Go off somewhere and suck your raw eggs straight from the shell :puke:

[Hal-9000]

That looks fine to me. Unlike GF I can have runny or hard yolks in my fried eggs. Used to ask for hard as a kid and now it doesn't matter :shrug:

Poached can be made with soft yolks and you should get a pan and try some. I rarely if ever eat boiled eggs and with poached since I'm a pig I would have to make about 6 of them :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I like fried eggs, but I have a hell of a time getting them to come out right at home :lol:

[Hal-9000]

and people laugh at me for my cooking :rofl:

Turn your stove approximately to the setting under halfway (4 out of 10), lay in about a pound of butter, throw in the eggs with some salt and pepper and then put a lid on it.

Keep checking by peeking and shaking the pan a little...done when the yolks still move around a bit but the whites are stationary. For you it's probably no more than 4 or 5 minutes on that heat.


I had a hell of a time with rice (see thread) and now can't seem to cook a hamburger in a pan without burning it and creating a HUGE greasefest :lol: :oops: They come out fine on the BBQ.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I know how to cook them, it's getting them to flip right that sucks :lol:

You do if you want them over easy or medium :nono:

Why?

Just fry the effing egg and eat it :lol: At that point it's all the same.

Try Alton Brown's technique!

Jesus Christ GF...057 = Feb 27, 1.5 inches of water ONLY, remove all of the bubbles, white wine vinegar, push the cup in slowly, stand on your left foot facing east....

:lol: just buy a pan with poaching cups ffs

20 bucks from Starfrit :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Poached eggs seem like too much effort, too little reward :-k

[Godfather]

It's dead simple to make a basic attempt. Water to a rolling boil, drop eggs, turn off heat and keep lid on for 5 minutes. They won't be beautiful but they'll be nicely cooked.

Sorry but I hate that kind of shit :lol: I really try not to by mono-use kitchen utensils, I don't like my kitchen drawers filled with cheap junk that only does one job.

You need to have a whole drawer or cabinet of stuff that you can no longer remember what any of the stuff is supposed to be used for :tup:

:rofl: That's fucking funny. There's definitely some weird shit at the bottom of one of the kitchen drawers with weird looking kitchen stuff I can't remember what to do with. People buy me dumb shit for christmas/birthdays because I like to cook... little do they know my disdain for bizarre utensils. I should take some pics and we can investigate.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'll have to see if I can find some 'mystery gadgets' in our kitchen and get photos. If there's enough, we could probably start a thread. :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

I think I have a garlic masher in a drawer somewhere that I never use.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

In that vein, I almost fell for the hype. I was thinking about getting an air fryer. They seem to be all the rage and there's numerous sites and cookbooks dedicated to making dishes for them. I asked the wife and she said, sure, if you want one (the 'better' ones are pricey, so I wanted to ask her opinion).

Well, I almost pulled the trigger and just before I did, I decided to Google 'are air fryers worth it'? And after a few articles under that, I am glad I didn't order it. :lol: I guess they are a lot bigger than you would image (one article compared them to the footprint of a 5 gallon pain and 2/3's are tall as one) and at best the food was lackluster. And when you get right down to it, they are nothing more than a glorified convection over (which we already have). So, I'm so glad I didn't get one. And this is the article that changed my mind:

https://www.wired.com/story/air-fryers/

It's pretty comical in spots but it definitely tells you that you should not invest in one. :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

My sister asked for a sous vide thingamajig a while back for Christmas and I got it for her. I asked her recently if she used it recently and she said she used it once or twice several years ago and hasn't used it since.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Yeah, that's the problem, it sounds great and like something you want, then you use it less than a handful of times and it just sits there taking up space. :lol:

I like his last suggestion: A Dutch oven with a couple of quarts of canola oil. I still have no idea what to do with the canola oil afterwards.

[Muddy]

My wife definitely complains about all my kitchen gadgets that I bring home.. And yes, I too own a garlic masher, Demon.. :d

[Griffin]

I had a BBQ and one of the guys saw this on the counter. He said " My wife has one of those but we don't keep it in the kitchen." :)

I can see myself using the stick blender on a regular basis, but the huge ass stand mixers? Not so much.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

I have the stick blender as well as the standing mixer. I have a dough hook and use it for making bread.

Also, on the topic of eggs, I made pickled eggs this weekend :yum:

[DemonGeminiX]

I love homemade bread but I don't see myself making it. I could use a stand mixer to make pizza dough, but I could just use my hands and a rolling pin too, which is what I actually do. I do a lot of sauce type stuff and I hate chunky sauce so the stick blender would work great. My regular blender leaks (it's old) and I hate having to clean it so if I could just blend the shit in the original bowl I had everything in to begin with, that would be awesome.

I got a stick blender after I exploded my blender trying to blend hot potato soup. Guess it was too hot. Glass and hot soup all over me. Great Day

Holy shit :lol:


I love my emersion blender, it's an awesome kitchen tool. Great for blending sauces or soups without transferring to a blender, easy to plug in anywhere in the kitchen and easy to clean too. Also works very well for making quick dressings in the little cup it comes with rather than getting a full sized blender out. I
