Yeah my point isn't about sullying eggs with corn starch but that it takes two or three minutes to scramble them already. This seems like it's for the same kind of person that they invented microwave Minute Rice for, because a a minute was just too loving long.

I've never been able to get them to the right texture using enough heat to get them cooked in 2-3 minutes, it always takes 10-15 for me or I use more heat and they set way too fast and they are not all creamy.

The texture of eggs scrambled in 2 minutes is hard and rubbery. Bleh. If I can get creamy shirred style eggs in less than 20 minutes, I'm psyched. I plan to try this and I am perplexed at how gws is not bugging about it.

Minute rice is poo poo, and so are eggs scrambled in 2 minutes.

Anyone have recommendations for infusing water for a bit of flavor? It's hard to navigate around that poo poo since hippies like to claim that their infusions cure cancer and give your laser vision.

Yeah it's not that you can't scramble an egg in a few minutes (without corn starch, anyway, never tried that), it's that you can't make really good ones that fast.

Yeah, well I can do perfect scrambled eggs in 40 seconds


:smug:

It's actually a legit good method. Especially when you wanna do eggs for a lot of people, cuz you can just use a big pot to keep the water at temp and get like 10 people's eggs done perfectly with little effort.

Those don't look like they would come out creamy like good scrambled eggs should be.

They're super fluffy and delicious, like good (non creamy-style) eggs should be.

Edit: I love me some creamy eggs, but I also love the fluffy, light american-style scrambled egg too. Especially since you can do this in a sake/soy/sugar/vinegar broth and have an interesting take on tamago.

This while egg discussion is really stupid, but to say you can't make good eggs quickly is just wrong.

I've been boiling eggs recently.

I wonder if I can use something other than water.

Like some sort of meaty stock.

Then I'd have an egg that tastes like beef.

That'd be neat.

You can marinate eggs, but i think it takes a while for the flavors to penetrate the white:

he salts all his eggs before cooking which, depending on your philosophies, is bad.

I think we've hit all the major egg sperg points now.

except maybe cream/creme fraiche/crema or milk, and adding it before or during cooking, that's another one.

I generally cut out the salt in what I make, since I take in quite enough of it by eating normally. Water weight is the worst.

I like a 2-3 American scrambled egg when done well and I also like the longer cooked lower heat French style, this cornstarch trick just seems like a thing to get closer to the French version more quickly. I bet it'd be really good used to do Chinese stir-fried tomato and egg too.

Cucumber water! Just drop a few slices of cucumber in a jar of water, it's surprisingly simple and refreshing.

Well, it's not an infusion per se, but it's pretty nice. Add a little apple cider vinegar.

Is there a specific reason for this? I typically do over easy eggs, so they get a bit of salt on each side. Sometime I sprinkle it on the uncooked side prior to flipping.

You begin to denature the proteins so if you have aspergers this means you ruined the eggs. (You actually are beginning to denature the proteins but they're fine)

Hey anyone got some good recipes for food that can stay in a backpack for like 8 hours or so before eating without going bad/soggy/south. and preferably good granola or other high protein snacks that would be good to carry in a baggy for when I am needing a pick me up.

I don't really have a recipe but something I like to do for hiking trips is mash up dates into balls and roll them into some finely chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, and coat with toasted flaked coconut. Let them sit in the fridge overnight to harden up a little, then take them out on the trail the next day for a nice high energy snack.

I spend about 2-3 minutes frying my eggs and eat them with the yolks runny which is the superior method if you are in a hurry. :smug:





(Creamy scrambled eggs own though, always do the Ramsay / Child method for those myself).

Will chunks of meat( cut up pork picnic roast with the skin/fat cap removed) cook safely on top of potatoes and onions in a slow cooker? I filled it 2/3rds onions/potatoes/garlic and then the last 1/3 is filled with big chunks of pork. I cut up and froze the skin/fat cap to use for beans and split peas through the month.
