Don’t discriminate based on entropy level, but each level has a best in class:

Low: Soft boiled (8:30 sec)

Medium: Over easy

High: Propper fluffy scramble (10% butter, constant whisk)

I don't like the softness of a constant whisk. Diner style scramble. Literally crack the egg in the pan and scramble with the spatual. Dunno feels "homier"?

poached eggs tho 🤤

Soft boiled (8:30 sec)

Wait what? I've been soft boiling eggs once a day since lockdown and must have tried every variation going. 8:30 would risk me a hard boiled egg. 7:00 - 7:30 the sweet spot for soft and 8:00 ish for medium. Below 7:00 and I risk not cooking the white enough.

What devil's eggs are you using?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol, 60g healthy european chonkers, straight from the fridge into boiling water, then ice bath right after (if more than 2-3 eggs i’ll go a tad shorter because of post-cook thermal load)

Whites firm and yolks perfectly runny, sliced in two with maldon salt to top. Perfection in two bites.

From the fridge?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hahah, yeah, don’t know, just how I was raised I guess. My fridge came with one of those egg racks and I like having them out the box ready-to-go, plus it doesn’t harm them and they should stay fresher for marginally longer.

Edit: Also probably helps my heat gradient on those perfect runny yolks but set whites!
