Micomicona posted:I can't really say whether this is due to steaming vs boiling, but steaming them (little bit o water, eggs in a steamer basket or on a rack) in the pressure cooker makes a HUGE difference in peelability. Generally speaking, older eggs peel easier, but when I did them in the instant pot I used fresh eggs (way fresh, like from-the-chicken's-butt-that-morning fresh) and the shells basically slipped off. Amazing. . I saw the same thing. Hail the Instant Pot egg.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:The membrane often sticks to the egg for me, like to the point that when I get it off part of the white comes with it. I've found - and don't quote me on this, I am not an eggspert - that placing them into already boiling water, rather than water still to be heated to a boil, makes this happen less. Also, there should be a hollow in the shell somewhere (usually at the less sharply rounded end) that you can crack into and peel from more easily

Anne Whateley posted:If you're boiling eggs, you have to boil an entire pot of water. If you're steaming eggs, you have to boil like 1/4" of water. Obviously this isn't about the time it takes an egg to get from raw to cooked, but it's a major savings on the time it takes from "let's make breakfast" to food in face. Who eats boiled eggs for breakfast?!?

Those are pretty cool, but seem like they'd be a bitch to clean if they got yolk dribbled into them.

Yes, a form of. If I were looking for a thread about grilling burgers and steaks though, I wouldn't think to search for smoking since that's a specific and different style of BBQ.

FishBulb posted:Never done that. Seems weird to me. Is it a British thing or something? Soft-boiled eggs with strips of soft, butter-saturated toast are very much a British thing, yes. You dip the toast in the runny yolk (hence "soft boiled") and use a delicate little spoon to carve out the firm white part. This usually ends with picking bits of eggshell out of your teeth while your snaggle-toothed hosts laugh at your lack of practice in this ancient Limey art. Others have already answered, mixed with the ongoing conversation about BBQ. So, how about eggs on the BBQ? Good idea or horrible?

Actually BBQ is synonymous with smoking. What you're referring to is grilling. The only reason I know this is because I have a pedantic asshat of a friend who insists that whenever someone has a barbecue at their house that we all have to call it a "cook out" unless there is, in fact, smoking of meats occurring. So yeah...sorry to pass on that pedantry.

But as confirmed by our ausie friend:Ranter posted:I'm Australian. Australians don't know jack poo poo about BBQ. Grilling on gas is bleh. At least get a charcoal Weber you know? Anything involving a grill is bbq there, this may be true outside of more than just aus. I don't know where Bottom Liner is at, but you can now counter your friend's pedantry with your own.

Just don't ask an Argentinian about BBQ. Open pits of burning wood or bust, for them.

So yeah...sorry to pass on that pedantry. The better option is of course to say gently caress it and realise that words mean different things to different people, that there's actually a meaningful difference between an alternate usage and a simple mistake, and that the goal of most language, even on the internet, is to aid rather than hinder communication.

Nah what Australians call BBQ really is just cooking with gas outdoors. Same results as cooking inside with gas. I guess the main advantage is a larger cooking area, if you have a bigger barbie.

Charcoal, it imparts a nice flavor. If you're using gas just cook it on your stove.

I like charcoal because I rarely grill out. It just seems funner to me that way, it's more of an elaborate process that I occasionally do for fun.

Charcoal, because people who don't know any better think you're doing something special. It also looks cooler IMO.

Yeah but if it's all about cool looks you have to go all out Argentinian asado. Which I do sometimes - that's the only way to bbq a whole sheep. But day to day it's propane.
