Great stuff and thanks for sharing!
If I could suggest another measure people in the USA can take to make better tasting and nicer looking eggs, is to never by U.S. Grade A eggs, and always insist on U.S. Grade AA. It is a secret that has been well hidden by the US egg industry, as well as the USDA, that AA eggs are vastly better quality than grade A eggs. Grade AA eggs have a much more cohesive white, with far less loose goo, and hold together better in frying, poaching, or when unshelling sous-vide cooked eggs. These are much closer to the quality of egg that the rest of the world is eating. Happily, Grade AA eggs are usually pennies more than commodity A eggs, and a commodity AA egg is much cheaper, and always vastly better than the most expensive Grade A free range "fancy" eggs. They are not super easy to find -- in my neighborhood in Manhattan they are carried by only one supermarket (and none of the many gourmet stores which would rather sell inferior Grade A fancy eggs).
Wait, so it's just... "lower the heat"?
You can also improve the appearance of your egg by cracking into a fine strainer first - the very runny part of the white will fall through keeping only the firm white and well shaped yolk like in the pictures.
What temperature did you guys settle on?
So simple...I have to try this thanks!
This is by far the weakest instructional video chef steps has offered us. Normally, they are rather heady brainfood, but this is ridiculously unprofessional. The content of this entire site is what makes it one of the most progressive tools available to home and professional cooks alike, and it just got diluted in a serious way. Hope this is not a trend.
Sheesh man. One video that seems to be below your skill level does not "dilute" the wealth of content on here. How can a professionally-shot video with clear instructions and background music, that has been edited to a tidy length and then given away for free qualify as "ridiculously unprofessional?" Have you looked at most of the cooking videos on YouTube?
I think this neat. Explains all we need to know. Best part - straight forward & simple.
Are you using an induction range? Will this have any bearing on the "lowest temp" setting?
I always thought low heat made for a rubbery white.
Is Nick Gavin available for a Tinder date?
Place the egg in sieve before frying. The runny bits will separate from the firmer white, giving you better shaped egg in the fry pan.
I think it is great, it adds to what is already available. I had never thought to do eggs this way. Seems like a great low-stress way to cook eggs when also trying to make up a couple latte's in the morning at the same time.
Interesting idea for people who want to ignore their eggs as they cook, but if you can lift the egg by the white, it is going to be rubberier than I enjoy. Looks pretty, though.
Man to woman morning after a Tinder date: "How do you like your eggs?"
Woman to man: "Unfertilized."
Seems like you could put as lid on this and firm up the yolk a bit without changing the emoji factor.
what waring induction burner do y'all use??
I could not believe my eyes when he picked the egg up by the white... that just shows how rubbery the stuff is, also after three minutes on a low heat the egg yolk will still be cold and uncooked
Isn't part of cooking having fun and enjoying the moment. I'm a professional chef and I didn't find the video unprofessional or weak. This site is for all types of individuals from beginners to professionals.
I encountered one problem.... I don't have an egg emoji... What's the recipe for that?
Made it and really enjoyed it, yolk was just heated through and the white was as tender as could be.
For us "cavemen" who still use open flames for cooking (but, nonetheless, have non-contact infrared thermometers), what is the preferred surface temp of the pan for this?
I like this tip!!! I'm going to look for AA, from now on!! Thank you!!
Couldn't find how to get the video to play.
Or you can make a white chocolate egg white with a Mango Pure Yoke...
I tried this but failed.
I turn on the fire at it's lowest and appears to be too cold and the egg was not as fresh as I thought.
I always like to use a round cutter on the frying pan, break the egg into that, perfect circle and more even whites...
I want to do this with duck eggs!
I love these short tip videos. I think they are a great addition to the rest of the content on this site. Keep up the good work!
True but use a glass lid so you can see if the told starts to change color.
nice
How do you get it out of the sieve?
It's fun little things like this that really make this site for me.
We're so glad to hear it and we appreciate the feedback!
Thanks so much, Ted!
Cool recipe
I have been cooking my eggs like this for a while and they are perfect. People who want a "hot" fried egg, and it is okay if they do, want an overcooked, dry, lacy egg with burnt whites. Digustubus non disputandem est!
Very Nice..!!!!...
