It can't hurt!

Render Fair if you fully understand the egg then you’ll step into a metaphysical consciousness in which the workings of the universe will be unveiled to thee. Then you will have the power to postulate possibilities and....the rest will reveal itself.

[@maitreyariske724]

I've never seen anyone more passionate about cooking eggs in my life.

[@Wolfgang_von_Caelid]

The hole in the egg thing is one of the few things I would legitimately call a life hack, holy shit this is gonna change my egg game

[@fen7662]

Same, I didn't know about this, I'd never heard of this. I already can make perfect yolks, but always ended up with some sacrificial eggs that just break no matter what...this saves me from that AND makes the air pocket go away? Amazing.

[@amandadoes8757]

I usually put baking soda in the boiling water, but I am going to try this

[@kebman]

If you get everything else wrong, at least get _that_ thing right. I have a dedicated egg-hole-puncher myself. (It's a paper pin...)

The thing is, restaurants, hotels etc cant serv you soft boiled eggs. They're not allowed to!

[@taiiat0]

@@nein7594 yeah that's fair that in the US atleast, soft boiled isn't considered food safe because of the eggs that are available in the country. even so, boiled eggs don't have to be dry as hell to be safe. stopping a little short of fully boiled (so between a 'medium' boil and hard) is safe but still actually appetizing.

@Samwise in my case (who doesn't like kimchi at all), I sometimes cured my boiled egg with a mix of Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, bit of sugar, bit of salt, and mirin. Some other time, I just dip it in soy sauce and that's it...

[@Fan-wj9mx]

That sounds sooo good!

[@leonardpearlman4017]

Tea eggs are nice and also easy to make. They are WAY hard-boiled though. Past hard boiled. Long ago I worked in a Chinese restaurant that had all Chinese customers. They had a dish of red-cooked meat, it had something like gravy, but of course soy-sauce flavor. They would put a bunch of boiled eggs in that, which became "gravy eggs", turning entirely brown and shiny, and I guess were red-cooked eggs? They were VERY popular. Nobody had ever heard of real RAMEN at this time.

[@theshadowofgod1]

Well...for starters...I put the hole in the top not bottom -.-' one of them I did a bit too deep using my sail needle and the back of the knife to punch through and one of my embroidery needles for the rest, boiled for 8 min, did the soak for a few hours for my first making of these EVER. This is the first time I've ever made them and ate them, myself and my boyfriend LOVE them. Asked him if he wanted me to do it like this from now on when I make us ramen from now on and he said yes! Was always a bit skeptical about making these but...this'll prolly be my new favorite snack! Thank you for the video!

I just boiled a dozen eggs and had to eat 8 of them. Now I'm watching your video. I'll be back after the next batch finishes. Edit 1: Ok, so following that failure of a dozen eggs, I boiled 6 more using your hole-poking technique with the hole in the bottom. Wow, it was night and day peeling them. I've steeped a thousand poultry embryos in my time. And this breakthrough has me in awe. The only other possible thing that could have affected it was that boiling only 6 instead of 12 caused the water to remain hotter. I'm going to boil 12 more, using the hole-poking technique and see if I get the same results. (I know what you're thinking.... But WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT MANY EGGS!.... well, I'm 8 eggs down in the past 45 minutes and the flatulence has already begun) Edit 2: Ok, I'm dumb and too spontaneous. I literally set out to boil a dozen more eggs to find out if the eggs cooling the water was the reason that they were easier to peel than the 6 eggs, and at the last minute I was like "Hmmm, what if I put these eggs in the water prior to boiling it so that they aren't 'refrigerator cold' and cool the water". So I warmed up the eggs, defeating the purpose of the dozen-eggs-experiment. Now I'm going to have to do ANOTHER dozen eggs........... I'm not actually upset because it seems like a good idea instead of waiting for them to raise to room temperature on their own. Well, time to do another dozen eggs..... Edit 3 coming soon.......

How long can you keep the marinade for? I feel bad tossing it after a batch.

[@weissrotweiss]

I guess u can reuse it, the flavor goes away from marinating the eggs so check it.

[@JamieBainbridge]

Yeah a few days, one week at most

[@berbnobirbyes.8583]

Idk if this is some hidden health hazard, but I’ve been doing this for a while, soo... Add cornstarch/flour to the marinade after reducing it a bit on the stove! Voila! You can use it ontop of chicken and such :) but since it takes a while to reduce, often, i don’t get to reduce it as much as I should, so beware that this may result in a thinner sauce. Also, you could add gochujang for a spicy taste (Also helps thicken; love spicy food so I usually add this in) (Lowkey I’m worried if this doesn’t end up working for you though. I’m sorry if it somehow didn’t work for you in case you try this 👀💦💦)

[@grimfang5023]

Nice explanation! I always wondered how you got an orange yolk versus yellow.

[@taiiat0]

note that some of that deep color is from the egg itself - free range eggs where the chickens have a more normal life so the eggs will be richer. ofcourse, they also cost more so for some the extra cost can put them out of reach(varies, and in some regions could be quite expensive comparitively).

[@mondenglanz2210]

When I moved out mom gave me this little egg hole poker and that little thing is a true life-saver! I just made ajitama following your recipe and I'm absolutely in love with the result, it tastes exactly like the ajitama my local japanese restaurant serves in their bowls of ramen. Left it to cure for 3 days and it turned out to be that signature deep orange yolk. Eggs here in Germany have yellow yolks so it's really impressive that the curing turned it orange
