What's the best consistency to cook eggs to?
If you pick the last three, you're wrong
Egg whites are the one food I can not force myself to like no matter how many times I try. Problem is, the yolk is one of my favorite foods. I love soft, runny yolks especially. The problem is, when the yolk is the consistency that I like, the white is also still not fully congealed leading to a mixing of the yolk and white. I just eat yolks raw with bread or as a dip for strips of grilled meat.
runny yolk or bust

Depends on what you want to do with the eggs. Usually I prefer the third on the top row, but if I want to slice it and put on a sandwich I'll go with the first on the bottom row.
>>7868175
3rd and 4th are good. runny enough to dip in some toast or even better mash that shit up on some hash.

>Not for nutrition
4th is best
Raw like how I fucked your mom's puss
>>7868175
I get flawless soft yellow yolks by just bringing the water to a boil, putting the eggs in, turning off the heat, putting the lid on, and coming back 20 minutes later to douse them in cold water.

finna try this
I like the bottom left the best
>>7868175
liquid yolk is trash
4,5,6 are the best
>>7868175
First row is 1234
Second row is 5678
If I'm ging to slice them up and put them on a sandwich then obviously 7 or 8 are the only acceptable ones. For breakfast I'd pick 3 or 4.
>>7868237
judge for yourself
>>7868175
Shit image is shit, it's missing the single best doneness that ought to fit somehwere between top right and bottom left.
Very top right is best.
3 and 4 for toast soldier.
Five or six for having in soups.
Six also for egg salad.
Seven or eight for pickling, having in soups and to make egg salad.
>>7868175
2-3 for eatin with toast, 4-5 in ramen, 6-7 for egg salad.
There's no one right answer to this mane.
>>7868175
definitely #4
liquid yolk but not completely runny and the white is nice and solid
>>7868314
Looks good.
3 or 4 with toast and 5 on the go or in a salad
>>7868186
i love the white but they make me seriously vomit
>>7868175
4 if you have bread 5 if you don't.
the 3rd is the best: you want the yoke fully runny, but none of the whites to be snot
>>7868175
too row third from left
>>7868175
Depends on what you are doing with them.
Boiled eggs need to be runny yolk but for other things you need extra hard boiled
Which one for deviled , bros?
>>7868983
5 or 6
>>7868973
>you need extra hard boiled
you never actually need extra hard boiled, especially if it's too the point where the yolk is starting to turn green/grey
>>7868175
there are only 3 acceptable consistencies in this picture. they are all first row.
If you pick boiled eggs, you're wrong.
It depends on what you want to do with it, so anything from the whites just being set to full hard boiled prior to green ring is acceptable.
For a plain Jane boiled egg with s&p I go with something resembling 6.
>>7868175
i prefer 4 if you're eating them on their own.
firm yolks are better for egg salad/deviled eggs.
you can't say one is the best and it's best for every application.

For soft-boiled or poached then 4, for hard-boiled 7.
Where I'm from soft-boiled eggs are extremely uncommon, and if you are going to boil an egg it's going to be 6 or 7.
If you want a soft egg with a runny yolk you either fry it sunny side up/over easy, or you poach it.
If I bake potatoes on coals, can I split them in the middle, form the foil into a cup, and crack an egg into it?
What is the best way to do this? Is it any good?
>>7868186
this, egg whites are low priority food for me
>>7869154
i want to try that but eggs make me sick so i don't know
>>7869252
>form the foil into a cup, and crack an egg into it?
Of course you could.
Though it doesn't sound like it would taste very good so I'm not sure what the point is.
>>7869540
I assume anon meant to say "lightly smash/crack open the cut end of the steaming hot potato to create a cavity that can receive an egg, cooking it with residual heat"
The whole-potato version of this trick is to make a slice in the top through most of the thickness and squeeze the ends inward. Either way it could work? A nice heavy dose of salt and pepper into the potato, a sprinkle of cheese under a cracked egg or a bit of shredded cheese mixed into a beaten egg. Add the egg and cover/rewrap while setting the whole creation somewhere to stay hot, enjoy when done? Sounds like a boyscout thing.

3 and 4 and the best
>>7868198
This
The white should be solid, the yolk should be runny.
The perfect egg is one without any liquid white or solid yolk.

pleb detected
consistency of soft fudge
>>7868175
I prefer soft boiled because I'm a weeaboo faggot and love ramen
>>7868175
Why would you only partially cook an egg? That seems bizarre.
>>7868175
Numbers 4-8 all look good to me, honestly. Boiled eggs are some of my favorite foods and I'll eat anyway I want.
>>7870627
the same reason u would partially cook a steak
>>7868175
4 if you plan to eat them that day, 6 if you plan to store them for longer
>>7868175
#3 for me all day err day
How do I reliably get 4 every time? I always get either too hard or too runny
>>7868175
What the fuck op, this is how you get dysentery.
>>7868175
Far left, bottom.
>>7868175
Number 3, sticky and soft so it oozes for dipping properly, without being too liquid and the white fully solid.
>>7871019
Always put the egg in once the water is at a rolling boil so it cooks evenly, then you have to get the time right. I think its 6-7 minutes for runny yolk.

wuuuuut
>>7868175
4 and 5 are pretty good, 3 is acceptable, rest is trash
/thread
4 all the way, 5 is OK too.
>>7868175
leftmost bottom row is a perfect 6-minute egg
Anything less and the yolk isn't getting cooked, enjoy your salmonella, anything more is like a well done steak- edible, but you've done it completely wrong
