This looks like “dropping an egg into boiling water” and not “bringing the water to a boil with the egg in it,” which is an important distinction.
Also, is this starting from refrigerated eggs (USA-style) or room temperature (everyone’s else)? I assume this makes less of a difference with your second method.
They don’t seriously have refrigerated eggs, do they
Yes, eggs are washed which removes the protective layer that makes them safe without refrigeration. So our eggs look cleaner, but have to be refrigerated.
Edit. Looking into this a little more and it seems to be different ways to combat stuff like salmonella. I guess most of the world vaccinates the chickens, plus the cuticle on the egg prevents bacteria from entering through the shell. In the US we wash the eggs and refrigerate to prevent it.
This is correct, and whenever the topic comes up, there’s always a bunch of misinformation. Like you said, it’s two means to the same end. Early in the washing strategy, like a hundred years ago, some washed eggs from Australia were imported to England, and a bunch of people got sick from them, so Europe decide to go the other route. The US got the washing thing down and decided to keep with it. Today, both approaches work pretty well. Australia, Japan, and some Scandinavian countries also use washing. Worth noting that washing requires an infrastructure of shipping things around refrigerated.
I’ve never seen an egg where ten minutes of boiling doesn’t fully solidify the yolk.
Actually, it doesn’t even take that long. I mean, I guess ten minutes would do it, too.
I’m not sure that’s a uhhh credible source. But it cracked me up.
If you bring the water to boil before adding the egg it is much easier to remove the shell
Edit: I see my comment doesn’t really relate to your comment. I’m tired
Chef here. Use older eggs for boiling as they are far easier to shell than fresh eggs.
This isn’t a very good guide, since it doesn’t even take egg sizes into account. As a fan of egg, these timings are completely wrong for Large Lion Grade A eggs.
Lions don’t lay eggs.
That blimmin’ witch doctor lied to me again!!!
You’d think I’d learn my lesson after those magic beans…
The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.
The brain you have that can make up such bullshit is a result of eating animals.
So are you going to kill yourself because your very existence is the result of eons of humans eating animals?
As for fallacies, prove that
animals are morally equivalent to your children
That’s a sophist argumentation tactic known as “begging the question”.
That you have the hubris to call others fallacious is, well, I’d say shocking, but it’s par for the course when someone decides they know better than the rest of us and deign to be condescending (which usually happens after Philosophy 101).
