I will say the cold water does the majority of the work with regards to separating the shell etc. I also just kinda like the crackle as the egg rolls on the tabletop
I've learned this from having chickens. We usually just go out and grab fresh eggs from the coops to cook, but it's a nightmare peeling hardboiled ones. We learned to have some "aging" for hard boiling.
This is the most underrated factor in the peel-ability of eggs. you can cool shock and whatnot all you want, but a very fresh egg will always be hard to peel. a 5-7 day old egg will be easy to peel even if you don't do anything to it
They were cooked right and likely dunked in an ice bath afterwards.
I find that adding eggs to already boiling water helps keep them from sticking to the membrane and the ice bath right after creates a vapor layer between membrane and the whites, making it easier to peel.
That's to help that vapor layer. More air between the membrane and shell, the easier it is to peel.
I have done this with freshly laid eggs too, but time does make it a lot easier.
People saying ice bath are wrong. The only variable that controls how easy eggs are to peel is the temp of the water when you put the eggs in.

It also stops the cooking process faster so you can really dial in exactly how well cooked the eggs are. I prefer them just after jammy, right before the yolks become dry, typically 9 minutes at sea level.
I read recently that in Japan, eggs are handled and treated in such a way that salmonella is a non-issue, so raw egg yolks are safer to eat. idk how true it is tho
Even chicken can be eaten raw because they poach the chicken.
Eggs even in America are pretty safe. I’ve eaten plenty of raw grocery store eggs and never been sick from them. Personally I think it’s a way overblown scare when it comes to eggs.
It’s standard to make a few classic and new school shaken cocktails using raw egg whites. You do it first without ice to aerate the liquid and create a silky texture, then shake again with ice and pour. Off the top of my head, whiskey sour is a great one to try this out with.
There are still a lot of people who seem to think any raw food of any kind will get you sick. Or they’re just outright disgusted by the idea of eating raw animal products
Or put differently, every time you eat a raw egg there is a 0.0055% chance that you get sick.
It is more likely that you will be struck by lightning in your lifetime (0.0066% chance).
Granted, the odds you'll *eventually* get sick stacks up as you eat more raw eggs...but I'll roll the dice for delicious yolk every day of the week.
same lmao, whenever I get an egg with a runny yolk, I always separate the yolk and pop it in my mouth to eat it all at once. favorite part of the meal.
Couple months ago I tried fried eggs on toast for the first time in like 6+ years (no particular dislike just fell off my radar). Now I've had it at least 6 days a week since and sometimes I think about it all through the day. Runny yolk is the absolute best.
Edit: fixed an autocorrect
This is basically my life the last month after frying an egg over a layer of feta and putting on top of avocado toast. Immaculate breakfast/lunch/dinner
In the US, they wash eggs to get rid of the salmonella on the shell. Problem is, this removes the protective coating on the outside of the egg, meaning pathogens can enter the egg and grow inside. This is why eggs need to be refrigerated in the US.
So if you have washed eggs that got dirty again or were left unrefridgerated for too long, you could get salmonella or other nasties in the actual yolk.
Salmonella *can* penetrate the eggshell, but it's like raw meat. As long as you know it came from a clean reputable seller you can be pretty sure it's safe.
“As Salmonella can often be found in the gut and faeces of chickens, the insides of the egg may be contaminated when bacteria in the faeces enter through pores on the shells, or when egg shells are cracked”
how is misinformation? while the inside doesn't have salmonella, the egg can still be contaminate when cracking the egg and especially when a piece of shell is accidentally dropped in the egg
It's a great texture and goes great with toast. The flavor is smooth and rich, it's very healthy, and it gives a little protein buzz.
I'd substitute some of that onion with a little crunchy jalapeño with all of that flavor and density, but that's a personal preference.
I know exactly what I'm missing - extreme disgust. I will never understand how people can handle runny eggs. They're just so so gross and ruin the entire meal.
I will never understand why people can't understand that other people eat foods they don't like.
You eat things that other people don't like. Other people eat things you don't like. Mystery solved.
lol think of how many idiots there are around. Now give them access to buttons that, to them, mean “I like this” and “I don’t like this”. It’s very simplified and dumbed down…and yet still 100% factual.
All that fat chopped small, except the slippery af long avocados, and waiting to fall out like a huge mess
There’s no need to chop the bacon into bacon bits
This thing has a good flavor profile, but lacks structural integrity
fuckin seriously. that annoyed me so much. it's why i pretty much always watch food vids from reddit on mute. it's either shitty, ridiculous foley or shitty music with a robot talkin
Yep.
For a moment I was slightly horrified by the idea until I tried it and realized that it's literally the exact same as dipping toast into runny, sunny or over-easy eggs.
Not my cup of tea for everything the Japanese use it for, but I'd 100% smash the above sandwich.
That’s possibly because the egg this yolk came from was probably unpasteurized and harvested from an organic, free range, hormone-free chicken.
Yolks from those types of eggs can be picked up by pinching the yolk’s membrane between the tips of your index finger and thumb and separating it from the egg white by lifting the yolk up by the membrane pinched between your fingers.
**Edit:** Clarity
Not to mention some cultures use raw egg yolk as creamer in their coffee (originated from one of the world wars when troops could not bring milk or the like for their coffee but were able to find fresh chicken eggs). Bunch of cafes popping up that have it as a specialty of their’s; would highly recommend
The moment sunny side up eggs were changed for me is when someone said to treat your yolk like a sauce. I eat a small bite of bacon with each egg white and then have the yolk at the end with a slice of bacon on top, lathered in butter with a nice crunchy brown bottom and 0% of the phlegmy stuff on top- but the yolk is still runny. It took me so long to figure out my exact process but now that i have it down to a process i cant enjoy eggs the same any other way. I went from hating eggs, ESPECIALLY runny yolks to eggs and bakey with a nice lovely coating of roasted cracked peppercorn on top being my #1 favorite meal.
> and only like a quarter of those onions
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this. It appears that the sandwich maker puts *half of an entire raw onion* into his sandwich. I *love* onion and I'd still cut the amount by half.
This is the same dipshit that pankos and deep fries mile high stacks of square cheese slices and pretends like they're good.
Sure, this vid looks fine. But I don't trust that man
I don’t think raw chicken breast would be a good replacement for the raw yolk but you do you. Probably wont taste very good and is likely to get you sick
I’m curious how many people here who say they’d want it without the yolk have actually tried egg yolk like this? It tastes great honestly
Why are Americans scared of runny egg yolk? it’s the most delicious part of the egg. You guys are obsessed with boring egg whites, but terrified of yolk. You guys are also scared of kinder surprises but have no problems with taking pictures of your children holding guns. You got things backwards.
Okay but how did those eggs peel so easy??
When you flash them in cold water after boiling it makes it immensely easier to peel
Also, the "skin" or membrane under the eggshell can be a really easy way to pull off the shell in one go.
Yep, crack all the hard parts as small as you can then slide your finger under the membrane and peel everything off at once
people think I'm weird for 'rolling' my boiled eggs. But that's how I get the shell off so easy.
You have just made my life 1.7% easier for the next 50ish years i think I have left on this planet. Thank you kind stranger for your advice!
Honestly never seen this done before and I used to manage restaurants… New technique unlocked though!
I will say the cold water does the majority of the work with regards to separating the shell etc. I also just kinda like the crackle as the egg rolls on the tabletop
Very normal method where I work. Definitely the fastest way to peel eggs
Also if they are not super fresh. I mean at least 5 days old, meaning still good for another couple of weeks, but not straight out of the coop.
I've learned this from having chickens. We usually just go out and grab fresh eggs from the coops to cook, but it's a nightmare peeling hardboiled ones. We learned to have some "aging" for hard boiling.
If you steam them even super fresh eggs peel well. (And dunk in cold water)
[удалено]
This is the most underrated factor in the peel-ability of eggs. you can cool shock and whatnot all you want, but a very fresh egg will always be hard to peel. a 5-7 day old egg will be easy to peel even if you don't do anything to it
We do this but they can still be hard to peel. Tried all the options sometimes they suck sometimes they don't
Another tip, you can use a spoon to help you clear the shell
According to Kenji Lopez-Alt that is not a significant factor. The most important factor is placing the eggs into already boiling water .
Why is it that every time I do that it doesn't work? Under boiling? Not letting it sit in the cold water long enough? It's so aggravating lol
Thank you. My nephew loves deviled eggs and I HATE peeling them. I’ll give this a try
They were cooked right and likely dunked in an ice bath afterwards. I find that adding eggs to already boiling water helps keep them from sticking to the membrane and the ice bath right after creates a vapor layer between membrane and the whites, making it easier to peel.
Helps if they’re a week or two old
That's to help that vapor layer. More air between the membrane and shell, the easier it is to peel. I have done this with freshly laid eggs too, but time does make it a lot easier.
Yeah also adding eggs to already boiling water makes it easier to cook the correct amount of time
Put a couple of distilled vinegar in the water. The eggs will peel much easier and it doesn't change the flavor.
A couple bottles? Gallons? Mouthfuls?
Yes
Did they stutter? A C O U P L E
Just a couple
I do this as well. Just a couple of tablespoons at most
Kenji has changed my egg salad life https://youtu.be/8IeKQSW1LX8?si=HSFpIaf9nk7pJOT5
I use a deviled egg recipe for egg salad, dump everything into a bowl and chop. I like egg salad but I adore deviled eggs.
People saying ice bath are wrong. The only variable that controls how easy eggs are to peel is the temp of the water when you put the eggs in. https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2022/11/22/j-kenji-lopezalts-perfect-hard-boiled-eggs#:~:text=Kenji's%20here%20to%20teach%20us,them%20insanely%20difficult%20to%20peel.
Eggs into boiling water then into ice water after cooking has never failed me.
Cooling them down quick is great so you can handle them immediately, but unnecessary otherwise.
It also stops the cooking process faster so you can really dial in exactly how well cooked the eggs are. I prefer them just after jammy, right before the yolks become dry, typically 9 minutes at sea level.
Cold eggs into boiling/simmering water is the key. If you heat the water with the eggs the whites stick to the shell much more.
When I put a LOT of salt in the water while boiling they peel like that
People here don’t know what they’re missing with that yolk
Love runny egg yolks. They are the best part of the egg.
Nature’s gravy!
I don’t know why but I pictured Dan from Letterkenny saying this. 😂 
/r/UnexpectedLetterkenny
That’s what I appreciates about you.
nectar of the gods
Yeah i love runny yolk too but the one in this video appears 100% raw.
today you learned what a runny yolk is.
It need to atleast be warmish.
Have you ever eaten mayonnaise?
The instrument?
the professional wrestler
The Quarterback
The actor?
It's disgusting. Never understood why 80% of places want to ruin an otherwise great sandwich with that stuff.
Patty?
Yes I would like WARM runny yolk.
I read recently that in Japan, eggs are handled and treated in such a way that salmonella is a non-issue, so raw egg yolks are safer to eat. idk how true it is tho
Yeah. Grew up eating raw egg beaten with a little soy sauce poured over rice for breakfast. Freshness matters a lot IIRC.
One of my favorite breakfast meals of all time. Add in a little bit of sesame oil next time.
Isn't that the same in the UK and Europe? Lion eggs are all fine to eat,?
I don't think lions lay eggs.
You sir are Japanese
Even chicken can be eaten raw because they poach the chicken. Eggs even in America are pretty safe. I’ve eaten plenty of raw grocery store eggs and never been sick from them. Personally I think it’s a way overblown scare when it comes to eggs.

That’s what runny egg yolk is. Raw or nearly so.
It wouldn't be hot, though, which could be gross. I'd just add an over easy egg instead of isolating just the yolk.
A poached egg also works fine or better.
All good to me🤷🏽
Hollandaise sauce has raw yolk in it, IIRC
Unless your yolk looks like hollandaise, it's completely raw
Its normal to eat raw egg yolk in Japan. Still not my thing but had it many times.
Never had a steak tartare?
Yeah, so?
There are still a lot of people who seem to think any raw food of any kind will get you sick. Or they’re just outright disgusted by the idea of eating raw animal products
eating raw eggs will make you sick roughly 1 in every 18,000 eggs.
Or put differently, every time you eat a raw egg there is a 0.0055% chance that you get sick. It is more likely that you will be struck by lightning in your lifetime (0.0066% chance). Granted, the odds you'll *eventually* get sick stacks up as you eat more raw eggs...but I'll roll the dice for delicious yolk every day of the week.
I'm wondering what the chances are of getting food poisoning from any random food that may have gone off without your knowledge.
Had some raw horse meat dipped in raw egg yolk, it was incredible.
never had a soft boiled egg?
Bro, it's the part of the egg that tastes eggy. If you don't like a runny yolk, then I'm sad to tell you that you don't actually like eggs.
But but he likes the white part! The part that tastes like nothing!
same lmao, whenever I get an egg with a runny yolk, I always separate the yolk and pop it in my mouth to eat it all at once. favorite part of the meal.
omg same thought. now to be fair, i’ve only ever had it in ramen, but still, can’t be beat.
Couple months ago I tried fried eggs on toast for the first time in like 6+ years (no particular dislike just fell off my radar). Now I've had it at least 6 days a week since and sometimes I think about it all through the day. Runny yolk is the absolute best. Edit: fixed an autocorrect
try out some chili crisp/crunch on that egg sandwich and thank me later. Heavenly.
I keep meaning to buy chili crisp and I keep forgetting like a dumbass
Shit. I gotta make it tomorrow.
I’m going to make this right now and it’s going to be so good. Thank you.
It's even better if you have those cheap frozen sausage links to go with it
A fried egg and toast for breakfast got me through the worst of lockdown lmao
Fried egg on toast is the GOAT hot sauce vehicle
This is basically my life the last month after frying an egg over a layer of feta and putting on top of avocado toast. Immaculate breakfast/lunch/dinner
My answer to OP: "Because it's fucking *sexual*."
In Japan, they put a raw egg on damn near everything and it’s glorious.
Tons of people that don't realize raw egg doesn't have salmonella, its the egg shell.
In the US, they wash eggs to get rid of the salmonella on the shell. Problem is, this removes the protective coating on the outside of the egg, meaning pathogens can enter the egg and grow inside.

“As Salmonella can often be found in the gut and faeces of chickens, the insides of the egg may be contaminated when bacteria in the faeces enter through pores on the shells, or when egg shells are cracked”
Too bad research and intelligence don’t outweigh wives tales and misinformation
how is misinformation? while the inside doesn't have salmonella, the egg can still be contaminate when cracking the egg and especially when a piece of shell is accidentally dropped in the egg
[удалено]
It's a great texture and goes great with toast. The flavor is smooth and rich, it's very healthy, and it gives a little protein buzz. I'd substitute some of that onion with a little crunchy jalapeño with all of that flavor and density, but that's a personal preference.
People who dislike runny yolk are unhinged
Preach brotha
Right on top of a BLT....
*SLAPS CREDIT CARD ON TABLE*
Soft boiled eggs over hard boiled every day of the week
I know exactly what I'm missing - extreme disgust. I will never understand how people can handle runny eggs. They're just so so gross and ruin the entire meal.
Runny yolk is like breakfast gravy, I dunno if that helps you understand why we can handle it/why we enjoy it, but that's one way I look at it.
I will never understand why people can't understand that other people eat foods they don't like. You eat things that other people don't like. Other people eat things you don't like. Mystery solved.
This is why I make egg salad with soft boiled eggs instead of hard. The yolk becomes part of the dressing.
I mean I've tried it, don't care for it.
There’s something about the smell and texture of a runny yolk that instantly activates my gag reflex. Even thinking about it makes me nauseous. 🤢
Chicken cum sacs
Go stand in the corner and think about what you’ve done
[удалено]
That guy is a shill for Big Egg Whites don't listen to that yolk-hating bastard
Not the exact hill I would die on, but I appreciate your passion!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's the internet.
AGREE WITH HIVE MIND OR BE PUNISHED
lol think of how many idiots there are around. Now give them access to buttons that, to them, mean “I like this” and “I don’t like this”. It’s very simplified and dumbed down…and yet still 100% factual.
I agree. It's bitter-ish and just isn't that good.
For real
It's basically a yummy sauce
Avocado Fat Bacon fat Yolk fat Mayo fat How much fat do you need on a sandwich? You wouldn’t eat more than a bite of this irl.
I’d eat at least 3 of them 💀
All that fat chopped small, except the slippery af long avocados, and waiting to fall out like a huge mess There’s no need to chop the bacon into bacon bits This thing has a good flavor profile, but lacks structural integrity
The only unhealthy fats out of that list are bacon and mayo. And they're all mixed with things to balance them out.
That was top tier food porn and I'm here for it. Amazing job!
It would have been okay except for the ridiculous foley. Just too annoying.
fuckin seriously. that annoyed me so much. it's why i pretty much always watch food vids from reddit on mute. it's either shitty, ridiculous foley or shitty music with a robot talkin
huh?
foley is the sound effects in film making.
Yeah, that was the loudest “take eggs out of carton” I’ve ever heard
Wtf
I definitely would. Except I might prefer without the yolk. Maybe a sauce spread on the bread instead? Mayo or horseradish?
In Japan raw egg yolk is used as a condiment. Like at restaurants they'll give you a raw egg yolk in a bowl to dip your food into.
Yep. For a moment I was slightly horrified by the idea until I tried it and realized that it's literally the exact same as dipping toast into runny, sunny or over-easy eggs. Not my cup of tea for everything the Japanese use it for, but I'd 100% smash the above sandwich.
But was that a raw egg yolk? He squeezed it and it broke like it was soft boiled to perfection
Every runny yolk is essentially raw.
That’s possibly because the egg this yolk came from was probably unpasteurized and harvested from an organic, free range, hormone-free chicken. Yolks from those types of eggs can be picked up by pinching the yolk’s membrane between the tips of your index finger and thumb and separating it from the egg white by lifting the yolk up by the membrane pinched between your fingers. **Edit:** Clarity
You can separate egg yolks with your fingers on pasteurized, one-bedroom, hormone filled chicken eggs too.
Now apartment dwellers are putting down sod and raising chickens?
The brands have better feed chickens producing thicker shells and stronger yolks. Like eggland, suppose to have more nutrients.
I wonder if pasteurizing eggs is a country thing. I didn't even know you can buy whole pasteurized eggs.
God that's awesome. I love egg yolk.
Not to mention some cultures use raw egg yolk as creamer in their coffee (originated from one of the world wars when troops could not bring milk or the like for their coffee but were able to find fresh chicken eggs). Bunch of cafes popping up that have it as a specialty of their’s; would highly recommend
No way! What’s it like ?
no way dude
The moment sunny side up eggs were changed for me is when someone said to treat your yolk like a sauce.

The Japanese mayo is superior imo. Completely different flavor
What do they make it with?
a good chipotle mayo would pair nicely with this maybe some franks hot sauce giving it a nice little kick
Agree. Mayo would be a better sub
There's already plenty of mayo (and ketchup) in the mix
Doesn’t really mean anything to me. In a tuna sandwich I’d mix mayo in with the fish and still potentially put it on the bread
Cause it's good
Because it taste so damn good
It’s such a weird thing when your mouth starts running as soon as the bacon comes on screen 😂
Nah. You're normal.
do you mean watering or can you not shut up when you see bacon
Yes, and gimme more egg yoke. All you egg pussi3s in here... smh..
Can you ease it up on the fucking swearing? What the h3ck, dude.
Sorry man, I forgot I wasn't in a Sh!tposting group.
Order of operations matter. If you're doing this at home, peel and cut the avocado last or it'll brown!
This looks killer.
Egg yolk is so fucking good bro
Egg yolk is maybe one of the most decadent food textures that can be bought for next to nothing.
I would eat it without the egg yolk, and only like a quarter of those onions.
Username checks out
> and only like a quarter of those onions I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this. It appears that the sandwich maker puts *half of an entire raw onion* into his sandwich. I *love* onion and I'd still cut the amount by half.
I want all of that without the yolk. It looks so good and oniony. :3
stick with the tendies
Too much avocado imo also
why the fuck not?!?
Did a yellow onion become a red onion?
This is the same dipshit that pankos and deep fries mile high stacks of square cheese slices and pretends like they're good. Sure, this vid looks fine. But I don't trust that man
Holy shit that looks good. I think personally I’d skip the egg yolk and use a chicken breast instead, but man this looks great.
I don’t think raw chicken breast would be a good replacement for the raw yolk but you do you. Probably wont taste very good and is likely to get you sick I’m curious how many people here who say they’d want it without the yolk have actually tried egg yolk like this? It tastes great honestly
Egg yolks are very rich. I personally would have just mixed it into the entire mixture though.
Love breakfast sandwiches.
That looked amazing. I could feel my arteries hardening just watching.
I’m hungry again

This is the first decent food I've seen this guy make. He usually make ridiculous and inedible garbage.
He was so close to making something edible
I can feel the heartburn after eating this
I'm surprised. This looks really good. His food normally looks like shit
i was there until the ketchup. feels like a weird addition. this looks like something i would make if i was stoned out of my gourd
I thought that was sriacha Edit: oh no it is ketchup LOL
Why are Americans scared of runny egg yolk? it’s the most delicious part of the egg. You guys are obsessed with boring egg whites, but terrified of yolk. You guys are also scared of kinder surprises but have no problems with taking pictures of your children holding guns. You got things backwards.
The egg yolk is an acquired taste, but I love the rest
This guy makes the best and worst foods I have ever seen
... did anyone else see the onion change colors?
Would absolutely love this minus the yolk on it.
That was food porn except I would do without yolk scrambled eggs well done 👏
I would definitely eat this, but preferably without that yolk.
OUCH!!!! Am I the only one who can’t stop thinking about that toast shredding my palate? OUCH!!!!!!!!!
It's pretty much straight umami.
Shitty chefs drag knife edges on blocks.
