Fried eggs taste bad in general.

>>20039203
>8 minutes
>soft boiled

>>20039206
well what is it then?
I cooked shoyu eggs for 7 minutes and they were closer to "runny egg" than "softboiled"
it seems maybe an extra minute would have cooked them exactly like I like them

>>20039206
Yes that can be perfectly normal.

>>20039203
>Why is cooking so fucking hard?
it's not.
stop cooking everything on high.

>>20039297
Are you timing from a cold start like a retard?

>>20039297
Depends on your technique, which is the problem with this image. Is she boiling water and then leaving the pot on the hot stove? Is she leaving it at a simmer? How many eggs per batch, since each is basically a giant ice cube?

Without context the image is retarded.

>>20039203
Boiled eggs are one of the hardest things to get right. It's considered impossible to peel them, few have succeeded

>>20039203

Soft boiled has a runny yolk.

>>20039416
Use a spoon.

>>20039415
>>20039416
there's only one correct way so context is not needed.

>boil water
>place eggs in water
>boil for 7 mins.
>run pot under cold tap until water is cool enough to stick hand in
>hold eggs in pot, dump water
>run pot under cold tap for two more mins.
that's it.

>>20039418
What do you call it when you fucking nail it and the yolk is like a custard, still all 100% liquid but it doesn't run.

>>20039422
Well yes that's because you're not retarded and also know not to overcrowd the pot.
But the person who made the infographic is obviously retarded.

>>20039422
>wasting 2 minutes of running water instead of just using ice water

Are you poor and not have an ice machine or just retarded

>>20039420

What is this black magic

>>20039203
>posts an infographic on how to hardboil eggs
>"I have tried to fry an egg like twenty times now"

Maybe take the egg out of the water and crack it in hot oil? Then put salt and pepper on it.

>>20039203
>>20039205
>fried eggs taste bad

Start sourcing better eggs.
Seriously, a pale yellow yolk from a factory caged hen that is fed the cheapest feed available has none of the flavor of a rich orange yolk from a pasture raised hen that gets good feed and gets to forage and scratch for insects.

Buy fresh from Amish or Mennonite farmers and realize that flavors still exist.
Even if you are forced to buy at the supermarket, you can get pasture hen eggs, they just cost a lot more than the crappy ones.

>>20040012
He's desperately trying to defend is simpleton taste

Just buy an egg timer that goes into the pot. Mine looks like an uWu kitty and changes color to indicate the doneness of my eggies.

For frying eggs, crack it into the pan then put a lid on it to help cook the top before the bottom burns. And stop using high heat for everything, retard.

>>20039203
>feels ill when frying egg.
>twenty times
Something doesn't add up.
Are you okay if someone else cooks them or if they're cooked another way? Are you sure you haven't developed an egg alergy?

>>20039203
Your picrel references boiled eggs, but you wrote about FRYING eggs?
Are you trying to boil your eggs in a pot that is filled with vegetable oil?

>>20039203
>Why is cooking so fucking hard?
It isn't. You're just developmentally challenged.

who the hell has a dedicated ice machine

just pull the cubes out of the freezer god damn

>>20040103
He's referring to the icemaker that's standard in every fridge that cost more than $200. Probably some insane luxury item wherever he's from that he's using as an esl flex.

>>20040117
every fridge repair guy says to avoid built in icemaker models because they are pieces of shit that break all the time. i don't know anyone who actually owns one.

>>20040128
I had one at my old house for the 12 years I lived there, and according to the records on the one in my new house, it's a 2020 model. I've never had an issue with either.

>>20040117
Ice machines are the biggest scam in the world.

>>20040139
I appreciate the convenience, and if one happens to break after the 13ish years I've had them in my life I'll either have it fixed or buy one with an even bigger ice maker.

We got a new fridge/freezer with built in ice-maker and it only lasted a week before it started making mustard gas instead of ice

They probably used large eggs. Soft-boiled is 6,5 minutes on M eggs

The people I bought my house from didn't want to take their fridge with them, one of the ones with double doors and a built-in ice machine.
They said they didn't want it because the ice machine was "broken", literally the only thing wrong with it was that the lid had detached from the opener, a stick of strong tape and it was as good as new.

>>20042907
I think the one guy is maybe mixing up an ice machine with with an ice machine with an in-door dispenser. The latter ones always clog up on me.
But the fridges I have with ice machines that are in the freezer and you have to reach in and just grab the ice always do fine for me. I've never had the actual mechanics break though.

You literally don't even need a spatula. You don't need to flip or touch the eggs except to plate and even then its literally slipping off the pan. You cannot fuck it up.

>>20039203
Just do what Frank does:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W1dpRkthrI

No flipping, no lids, no water, impossible to fuck up. The secret to the "perfect" fried egg was just a fuckload of butter all along.

A tablespoon of butter is only 100 calories, and for two eggs you need maybe 1 1/2 tbsp, a good portion of which gets drained off after frying.

>>20043358
I flip my eggs then break the yolks because I make them over medium

cooking eggs is easy you just crack then you're done

This kills the egg

Boiled eggs are easy. Poached eggs, now, that's impossible.

>>20039203

>>20044241
I only like real butter in baked goods for some reason and flipping without killing the egg is a skill check which makes it more fun.

>>20039203
>how do people even get good at this
There are two ways to get boiled eggs exactly right.
1. Control the quality of the ingredients carefully and get the timing right (it depends on when you start timing, how powerful your hob is, so on). It takes effort to get right and is always a bit variable.
2. Get yourself a precise temperature controlled water bath. Then you can get eggs to the point of perfection every time. (Can't remember the exact temperatures you need but you can look them up.) This is how a restaurant does it, as it scales up and doesn't require being super careful about the eggs' freshness, but it needs special equipment so isn't so practical at home.

>>20039206
That's what I do, but I steam the eggs. No boil

>>20039203
My favourite way is low and slow in a pan with a lid. Good amount of lard. Turn heat off when it looks 75% done. Flip it over, put lid back on and leave it for a minute while I make toast or butter bread.

>>20039203
I guess I like "over cooked", lol.

>>20047084
Yeah nothing wrong with that unless the yolk is turning green. I've literally never bit into a boiled egg white and thought "rubbery"

>>20047109
green eggs are based. Eat it with ham.

Ice machines in fridges reduce your fridge's insulation. Anyone worth their salt in hot climates has a separate ice machine just for ice.

>>20039203
Who deserves more ridicule, I wonder. The psyops that try to paint normal, safe and flavorful food as "no flavor, gross and icky" or the normies and anons stupid enough to fall for it?
There's no such thing as "rubbery whites", they're simply firm for a pleasant chew rather than disgusting snot-textured soft boiled eggs. The "dry yolk" is wonderfully flaky. Thoroughly cooked eggs are great and keep a decent amount of time so you can bring them on a trip, they're great on bread or as an ingredient of other dishes, or simply eaten plain as a snack or dipped in mustard.
Similarly well done steak is the peak form of preparation, anyone who claims it's dry or rubbery fell for the nigger memes about how white people can't cook.

>>20039203
>15 minutes

>>20048776
>Similarly well done steak is the peak form of preparation
Thick, lean, well done steak is bad. Thick fatty steak is probably fine with steak sauce. Asmongold style steak jerky is probably fine.
