Egg Boiling People


Recommended Posts

Eggs really have not gone up that much....

 

In 1965 you could get a few food items for close to $1, but for the most part, the things you'd need to buy cost quite a bit less. So fill your vintage shopping cart with these items:

  • Gallon of milk: 95 cents
  • One regular size bottle of Heinz ketchup: 22 cents
  • One dozen eggs: 53 cents
  • One-ounce Hershey bar: 5 cents (Although the price remained the same, the size of the bar shrunk to 7/8 ounce in 1966 and 3/4 oz in 1968.)
  • Pillsbury cake mix: 25 cents
  • Pound of pork chops: $1.03
  • Pound of sirloin steak: 85 cents
  • Six-pack of Pepsi: 59 cents

oh boy...this returning is like that old Uncle showing up for Thanksgiving dinner every year wearing the bad and smelly sport coat and only bring a six pack of Schlitz for himself.  :)

I may have to call my buddy Larry and do a "true" experiment on this egg poking like we did on the potato peeling.  I called old Larry and he's busy right now but may come over later.  Photo attached:

Sorry if it has been answered in the last 17 pages, however, do you poke all the way thru the air sac and membrane or stop short of piercing the membrane?

Leave the push pin where it belongs...in the bulletin board.

My summation: 

  • Buried tack all the way
  • Placed 6 cold poked eggs in pan
  • filled pan with cold water to a level 1 inch above eggs
  • brought water to boil
  • once boiling set timer for 1 minute
  • after 1 minute, turned burner off and covered for 12 minutes
  • after 12 minutes, rinsed with cold water
  • on second rinse, added a couple pieces of ice
  • once cooled tried the shake eggs in water bath w/ 3 of them and also shell removal by hand for remaining 3
  • all turned out not worthy of smoking or making deviled eggs that look like they were not used as hackey sacks
  • Egg yolks did look fine so assuming cooking time was sufficient
  • WHAT GIVES?

 

May poke and add oil next time?

I'm not hacking on the concept but have experienced similar results.  Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.  There are other factors that contribute also and I don't know what all of them are.  Age of eggs, cooling down right, how long to cook?  I don't think poking hurts but it isn't the answer to everything.

My wife just cooks em and peels em and I've never seen her have a problem.

Poke egg

Bring water to boil

put eggs in for about 9 minutes

take off burner and let sit about 9 minutes

dump water off and rinse 3 times with cold water and then leave in water in pan

crack shell on counter, roll a bit and peel

I gotta do another 10 today. :)

Although there isn't a single pushpin mentioned, I am a sucker for someone who uses a scientific method when tackling a problem. I'll be giving this a shot. Go right to 2:10.

No pins, no bowls, no additives to the water. Just a put them in an already-hot pot with a bit of water and a steam basket for 10-12 minutes, pop them into an ice water bath, and peel away! Results to come.

I envision the egg first but it got broken by the tree that fell in the forest that nobody was there to hear.

what about pistachios?  Everyone loves em but if you end up with one that doesn't have that crack already in it you're screwed.  Also, they used to be pink, stained your hands terrible.  This is an evolving nut and we need answers.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
