How is it that eggs have been around forever, but we only now discovered that you can fry them in water?

>what is poaching an egg

>>21490026 (OP)
When it's water it's *BOILING* not 'frying'.

nopumps

>>21490034
Hunting one without the land owner's permission, presumably

shut the fuck up

>>21490038
Its cooked in a FRYING pan. Ergo its frying.

>>21490026 (OP)
That is an insane amount of vinegar for that paltry amount of water. That egg's gonna taste like pure vinegar.
I get so fucking ANGRY when I see people doing retarded shit with eggs. I can poach the FUCK out of some eggs, it's not that fucking hard, why do people take so many fucking God damn shortcuts when it comes to cooking FUCKING eggs?! They're just fucking eggs! Just do it right, it's not that fucking hard!

>They're just fucking eggs!
Bruh, they're just eggs. Worst case scenario is you somehow screw up so bad that you have to start over, in which case you're only out $0.08.

Eggs are good no matter how you cook them though, so it isn't really possible to cook them wrong.

>>21490126
What in the absolute horrendous fuck is that picture. It is absolutely possible to cook them wrong and fuck them up, and your picture is proof of that.

>>21490075
oh is this one of those burger/sandwich things? gotcha

>>21490223
I'm not sure how I feel about my food barebacking the sous vide cooking solvent.

I tried poaching once and it turned into egg drop soup. After that I started poaching an egg in my ramen/chicken soup and it works every time. Not sure if it’s easier in broth or the first time was just a random screwup

>fry them in water
wat

>>21490038
so what if you put it in a deep-fryer? has anyone ever tried that?

Is THIS the new water based cooking i heard so much about?

>>21490075
NTA. No it is not.
Frying happens at a lot higher temperatures, causing some borderline magical effects that make the food taste different.

>>21490026 (OP)
What is this "we" you keep talking about?

>>21490126
>$0.08
An egg is at least 50 cents, minimum.

>>21491607
Eggs are 3.99 RMB ($0.56) for 500g, which is about 10 eggs.
Who the fuck is paying $0.50 for ONE egg? You're getting scammed.

>>21490034
Boiling it without the shell

>>21490137
Its a water fried egg, prepared over hard.

The heat of the steam cooks the egg.

>>21490026 (OP)
Periodic eggs were literally only discovered this February. There is still much to learn about egg cooking

>>21490112
But she just put 1 tablespoon in it. Are you perchance mentally challenged dear fren?

>>21490026 (OP)
Make sure and add some vinegar and salt to that simmering water.

>>21490075
Frying is a dry heat cooking method whereas simmering in water obviously is not dry.

>>21490342
God damn she's cute.

>>21490736
Yes. It's not pretty. You really don't want an egg swimming in that much oil. Not at deep-frying temperatures at least. It's like an explosion which then becomes very crisp and everywhere.
You can shallow fry eggs in lower temp oil. Like that one disgusting video clip they always post here from 'Withnail and I' where someone with filthy hands is serving fried egg on cold white bread and they take a bite at the end. You know the one.
Dropping it in a big fryer that they do fries and fish and chips in would be a disgusting mess you wouldn't find appetizing.

>>21491607
I buy boxes of 60 for $12, so my eggs are $0.20 each.

>>21493014
Yep. Best to buy in bulk.

>>21493008
oil is dry?

>>21490126
>so it isn't really possible to cook them wrong.
true, even when you fuck up, it just becomes scramble

>frying in water

That egg will not have any crunch. Only proper frying in a fat will make that happen.
