Boiled Egg!

Are you the guy with the yellow dogs ?:stuck_out_tongue:

You obviously don’t do yours the way I do mine! :wink:

WoW, what a response!

Can I ask another question…what about omlettes - I always end up with a pan full of scrambled egg :stuck_out_tongue:

Can you tell who is the cook in our house :cool:

LOL this is great thread :smiley:

Eggs,seasoning…nothing else ,the salt breaks down the albumen to aid the whisking.

. If your pan tends to stick put a cup or so of salt in it and keep the pan on a high heat for 5 mins,the salt will draw out all the moisture .( throw this away)
. Just a drop of oil,get the pan **very ** hot throw in all the egg and give a very quick mix with the back of a fork-just a few seconds.
. No further mixing,adjust the heat to give the degree of browning you want while retaining a moist fluffy texture on top.
. turn to a half circle shape,serve.

Ommelettes were my speciality when i was in the army catering corps :slight_smile:

Best thread since the great Terry-Moto Washing Machine Saga;):D:D:D

nope…

Ok…you said you hardly ever get cracked shells , so its not an infalible ‘secret’…errrm… you put something in the bottom of the pan to stop any direct heat or you put the eggs into a chinoise strainer and pop that in the pan.:slight_smile: i must be right this time…mustn’t i ?:ermm:

hehe… I don’t like the white - we could do a whole egg between us :smiley:

A pinch of salt in the water?

i time mine by the radio , usually 2 songs long and thyre done :slight_smile:
bit unprecise though…

No, a splash of vinegar. Dissolves the right bits of the shells just enough to allow any excess air out. Stops any cracking for me.

Ooh you tease;):smiley:

Ever thought of changing your forum name to crapcook ? ;):P:D

Any advice here on quails eggs?

Yea , cooked lots of quail and quail eggs…approx 1/2 time for boiling as a small chick egg but either get em into icy cold water immedietly or shell and eat em pronto ,they will quickly go rock hard otherwise .
eat like you would for bread/olives/olive oil, but have a saucer of cracked black pepper and sea salt to dip em in…yum yum yum :):):slight_smile:

Thanks mate, would they be better with olives and cherry tomatoes or capers and gherkins? Need to know soon as I`m planning a new hot date in the near future with a member of the womens royal auxilliary corps who goes by the name of Katie Sue.

Wish me luck.:slight_smile:

Right…eggy soldiers for brekkie for me :smiley:

Will let ya know how I get on! :ermm:

Don`t forget to post the pictures!
