Egg Boiling People

[McGurk]

Steam boiled eggs... Success! No pins involved,  12 minutes in steam, a few in ice water,  and all peeled like a dream! Only one of the 20 had a cracked she'll,  but I always need a test egg to sample for "doneness" . Yolk in test egg was solid and golden without a hint of green,  and no "hackey sacks" in the other 19 either! I'll definitely do this again!

interesting.  never have steamed eggs

I smoked a dozen eggs with the cold smoke attachment today. Used cherry for a little over an hour today and pretty heavy smoke. Hardly any color and not much taste. I'll definitely try again with different wood, but maybe its takes a little heat for the smoke to adhere to the eggs?

 

[eyeguy 54]

never have done it that way. apple and cherry have a great taste.  I put them in cold, turn it to 145 or 15 and let it go 45 minutes and pull them. maybe just needs more time cold smoking? 

[lovebigbluegills]

Next time, I'll give it a couple hours and if I get the same results I'll turn some heat on.

I'll report my findings.

The cold smoker attachment sure seemed to work nice for cheese though- those are vacuum sealed in the fridge for another week or two before sampling.

I love eggs

Cold smoke definitely takes longer.  I used to do them on the weber with 6 briquettes and only took about 30 min. I didn't want much heat since they were already cooked.

I've always wondered what a quick soak in diluted liquid smoke would do.....hmmm....

[eyeguy 54]

do they get much flavor with the briquettes?   145 in the smoker doesnt really cook them much, just gets them real tasty.

pics and test it soon Reb

I might haveta do that......just like the "fake" BBQ places with their "smoked" meat do.

I put cherry or Applewood chips on the briquettes,  most of the time 2 small handfuls give them a nice gold color with the eggs on the opposite side of the grill. .

Was lucky enough to catch the one-hour show "Modern Marvels...The Egg" last nite. Watch it if it ever comes on again. 

Included partial clip here. I learned why high end restaurants use grade AA eggs.. the yolk is rounder, and stands UP quite a bit higher, creating a nicer looking egg...and that the cholesterol in an egg can be controlled by what the chickens are fed.

I have worked in several egg breaking plants and it is interesting

[leechlake]

always wondered who was the first brave soul to eat en egg and how they came to be such a staple in our diet.  The concept of the egg is pretty gross.

[RebelSS]

Wonder no more. One of the first "Egg people".  No further comments.

Time to make some deviled eggs. Think I'll cook some up; then to PEEL them. I wonder, can I still do it in two halves? Hmmm....I should record it.....
