Do you LIKE the sulfur taste when it's Over-boiled...  I've been told that I'm weird for liking it. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/ahaaah-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862489)

Over easy so you can make a hole in one sandwich.

Smells and tastes more like methane, which I find borderline revolting.

Fried, semi-soft, so the white doesn't go all tough and the yolk can be used for dipping toast into....

Don't like 'em boiled. If I have to choose, I take soft, though.

And I don't like the sulphur smell, but each to their own.

Not sure what you are doing to make your eggs taste like methane, I've never had this experience.  ???

These take 10 minutes but work great. Swish a drop of oil around on the inside and they slide out.

Looks brilliant. I don't eat eggs often enough to justify this, but it looks very great!

What goes in hard, straight, and dry, and comes out soft and gooey?

Chewing gum.

Exactly , as we say in France, I like Oeuf à la coque but it needs to be fresh eggs

The egg poachers I got last time also didn't work out...

the microwave one was inconsistent, and the stovetop one was a pain in the ass to clean (and you have to watch it like a hawk, or else it fully cooks)

Use your finger and wipe one drop of oil around on the inside before you put the egg in.

If you use the same size egg you should be able to get the time down for the degree of doneness you prefer. Pull it out and plop it into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking if you are especially picky.

What sticks so far out of a man's pajamas that you can hang a hat on it?  His head (and/or penis).

Is that a joke?

As for eggs, the best kind are eggs benedict, by far.  They are poached eggs and ham on an english muffin smothered with egg sauce (sauce hollandaise).  If you've never eaten eggs benedict, then you are an unenlightened philistine.

I think simplified Eggs bene.... is good enough..

ham + poach egg + lemonjuice + some butter..

assuming the proportions are right,   close your eyes,  you won't know the difference..


if you had to emulsify the yoke and butter, that is pretty time and nerve consuming..

poached. creamy yolk. eggs benedict style I guess? never had an eggs benedict but it always looks great.
I like it 'sous-vide' the best but it just takes kinda long to do so (~1hr).

or shallow fried thai-style, so good.

Depends on what I am having with it. Mostly I go kind of in between so the yolk is mostly congealed but not solid. I like that best especially with noodles.

If you like Benedict, you should try Croque Madame. Béchamel, Gruyere and Black Forest Ham on crunchy French bread with egg on top. I usually make it more like a Monte Cristo, then put the egg on top raw and pop it in the broiler for a moment.

You simply tap the top so it's start to shatter , then you cut off the shattered part with a knife . Easy and delicious .

Cooking scrambled eggs without them sticking to the bottom of the pan LEVEL=IMPOSSIBLE

non-stick pan? they stick even more for some reason than a stainless skillet
more oil/butter? now they are burnt AND stuck to the pan
lower heat? no difference at all, still sticking

I like to cook up some bacon and then fry eggs. After cooking the bacon, I give the pan a little rub down but leave some bacon grease in there--just enough to where the eggs do not stick. Mmmmm

No without a mucous-thin layer of brown calcified **** that would survive a nuclear blast forming on the bottom of the pan.

When I was in college, I had a job waiting tables in a restaurant. They hired a new kid who knew nothing about anything, and asked me to help train him.

One of our items was Eggs Benedict, and I was explaining it to him. Clearly, he was just not "getting it" and kept looking at me with a completely puzzled look.

Finally, after about the 3rd try, his eyes lit up with a big smile and he said "Oh! You mean an Egg McMuffin?"
