How do you like your eggs?

The alternative Kanda is that you fry it in a enough oil so that with a tablespoon you can spoon the hot oil over the yolk around ten or so times. that will slightly cook the top and the yolk without having to flip it.Kanda said:

My mother used to do that - everyone I have lived with since has looked at me like I'm murdering their children when I've done that. It's cooks the eggs perfectly! I'm going to start doing that again....Kanda said:

I prefer to use as little oil as possible. The heat below the lid cooks it really well without the need for much oil at all.

Question is though....really high heat so that you get that crispy bottom or lower heat and no crispy bottom? eh??

Crispy! High heat and split second timing required. For over easy and crispy, you need to flip it a little earlier (in relation to how much the white on top has cooked) and then leave it flipped for a tad longer in order to prevent yolk solidification ruining it all.Mrs Miggins said:

don't y'all hate it when you flip the egg and the yolk breaks?

I flip, took years of practise. I don't like any crispyness either just perfect set whites.
So no-one uses one of those ring moulds for a Wimpey style egg?

Annoying, I give that one to my girlfriend, who (strangely) prefers hard yolks. She overcooks scrambled eggs too.. eurrrgh

I have a pan like this for poaching, but i wish i could do it without, as the pan makes it seem a bit fast-foodish.

YES!!!
The absolute worst though is when you heat up your frying pan, crack the egger in and the bloody yolk breaks there and then grrrrr...

Whenever i do that i just end up with a complete mess.
have you ever gotten a raw egg where the yolk had a blood clot inside it? I've seen it 3 or 4 times.Mrs Miggins said:The absolute worst though is when you heat up your frying pan, crack the egger in and the bloody yolk breaks there and then grrrrr...

Used to work at an egg packing plant and the most wierd thing I saw there was an egg completely filled with blood, no yolk, no white just bloodDetroit City said:have you ever gotten a raw egg where the yolk had a blood clot inside it? I've seen it 3 or 4 times.
ps if its just a small amount of blood and it was from a non-battery source it was probably a fertilised egg and the blood was the very small foetus.
