Boiling eggs winds me right up to. I feel like I’d need a complicated chart, cross-referencing water temp, cook time, egg size, egg freshness, proximity to leyline, in order to get anywhere near a semblance of consistency.
About 1 in every 6 times I ask, my kids express interest in scrambled eggs instead of dippy egg, and I breath a massive sigh of relief.
Cooking boiled eggs.And before everyone starts with their food blog style how-to's, including a humble brag wank off about getting the freshest eggs from their neighbour's prise winning hawk crested saggy tits, it's the overall high stakes nature of the exercise.I've got the added jeopardy of making my kids ones cool enough to safely eat while making sure mine are still adult temperature. The solution I've found is to put theirs in cold water and then mine in the boiling water. But as an eg, this morning I forgot to crack the tops of theirs to stop them overcooking while I did mine, so they ended up semi-hard.Mine were fine, and TBH they don't really gaf, but the failure still gets to me.Letting inconsequential things get to me.
