      Sohla: for the poached eggs, there's another vinegar trick you should know about: cracking the eggs into 50% water, 50% vinegar, and let the vinegar set a membrane around the outside (which takes about 10 minutes), then gently scoop it out and poach it. This eliminates the stringy feathery filaments, and sets a membrane of eggwhite all around.

    As someone who’s been cooking professionally for 5 years and been to culinary school, I just want everyone to appreciate the clear and wide breadth of culinary experience sohla has. There is advice in this video that any beginner cook would know, advice someone working on a busy hot line would learn, and advice than is very technical. Lessons that almost every cook learns the hard way can be avoided by really listening to her. A better teacher than I’ll ever be I suspect.

    Before the video I said to myself that "there's no way I'm spending 29 minutes to watch someone cook eggs!". Well, I watched the whole things for 3 reasons: I love eggs; Sohla's delivery was charming and to-the-point; I learned at lot about eggs and cooking eggs at every turn. Thanks so much. Really great video.

      In order to avoid overcooking the bottom of the eggs -- (that part of the eggs that are resting on the cast iron pan) -- part way through the cooking process, I add a tablespoon of water to the pan and quickly cover it with the pan lid.
      The steam from the water quickly cooks the eggs surface and then you can remove them to your heated plate.

    Europeans: DO NOT use the shell to fish out broken bits of shell from the egg! As Sohla said at the beginning of the video, American eggs are washed - while ours might have bits of dirt, feathers and poop on them. Instead, wet your fingers with water and simply grab the broken bit of shell. Works every time!

    • @mothermoth3833
      @mothermoth3833 3 місяці тому

      The reason why europeans don't wash their eggs is because eggs are encoated with natural wax that protects it from bacteria and prevents it from spoiling earlier than compared to American washed eggs, hence why theirs need to be refrigerated and not europeans'

    I made a leg of lamb once that was so bad my dog wouldn't eat it.
    I watched a cooking show yrs ago where they did poached eggs and later when I tried to make them, I misremembered the time to cook them, and I am not kidding, instead of 3 to 4 min, I cooked them for 30 min and by then and the smell inside the house, I knew I made an error. I destroyed them.
    This is the first video I've seen where the fried eggs, my favorite kind, are cooked in a way that I could copy and did them this morning after watching this video and they were delicious.

    I'm a 90 year old man, and have cracked a lot of eggs over my life. I only stopped here to see if you preferred crispy edges of the fried eggs. But I got caught up in all your methods, very impressive. I've watched several egg videos and saw chefs bragging on the crispy edges in most, and almost all the viewers said NO! to that. I agree. It doesn't add noticeable flavor, and it makes it hard to cut with the edge of the fork. But again, a very informative video, m'lady.

    @waywardmind 11 місяців тому +59

    Tip: When you crack the eggs into the pan, use your spatula to immediately break the edges of the thicker whites around the yolk. That'll flow into the rest and your whites will be of even thickness. You won't get the whole "Ooops. This part is a bit overcooked, but this other stuff is perfect." The whites will all be the same.

    Hello Sohla! I'm trained in Chemistry and Biology, and I also love cooking - I always approach cooking shows with a science outlook. Yours is the best in terms of how to handle eggs for different situations. Only thing I remember from another show about eggs is not to use a copper bowl to whisk them in... Apparently, it brings the fluff out of fried eggs... But, everything else is cool with what you demonstrated. I've always wondered what the difference would be at different cooking times for boiled eggs, and you finally showed me! I'm from Singapore in Southeast Asia, and it's tradition to have half-boiled eggs with toast and coffee for breakfast every morning. Since you didn't demonstrate it, it's done by popping two raw eggs into a closed container of boiled water for 5-7 minutes until you reach the required doneness you'd like. (I do 4 minutes, as I like it very runny), then break into a saucer, top with dark soya sauce, white pepper, and you have a great egg soup to start your day with!

I learned all these same techniques for how to make the perfect eggs no matter who's ordering or asking! Julia Childs taught me 40 years ago, and it hasn't changed! Maybe the only thing that has changed is the type of pans we have available and so many variations on eggs in the stores. Julia also taught whenever possible you should buy your eggs fresh from a farmer out in the country where chickens roam free because the eggs will absolutely taste better and she was right. Also leaving eggs on the counter at room temperature is a European thing but I've never been able to get on board with room temperature egg storage. If anyone is interested in learning the secret to a perfect omelette though😊Julia's 3 eggs plus one yolk omgeee no matter what you like inside, it's so much yummier.

      I have lived in the US my whole life, in several states and been to hundreds of different grocery stores. Even I was shocked to see that selection and wondered where she was. I have never seen that in a store before. A selection like that is highly uncommon here. Our typical stores are the same as yours, 2 to 4 brands and that's it. I would love to visit that store, though!! 😀

    Love the video! I tip the pan when depositing the eggs until the whites begin to firm up. I do this by placing a spoon or other implement under the edge of the pan. It doesn't take much. I also tip the pan quite a bit when I poach - again it limits spreading out of the white.

    We get our eggs from a very nice Amish lady. She asked my dad if he knew anyone wanting actual farm fresh eggs because her hens are laying more than she can sell. So every time he goes, he buys everything she has, then gives most of them away. "You don't understand. I can't help it." He helps to support her and with grocery prices being so high recently, it helps us out too.

      Rather reminds me of Julia Child - with her relaxed humor, willingness to laugh at a boof (mistake) and her chill delivery overall. My only issue (thus far) is to call an egg "over easy" when it didn't go over. Sure, it's yolk & whites are about right, but my eggs often pick up a little something extra when flipped - even if only for 10 seconds. Anyhow, small detail... The yolks on you! 🍳🥚

    I had no clue that over hard was until I saw this, even though I've been doing it for most of this year. I love making a crispy over hard egg for breakfast sandwiches! I change what bread, sausage and cheese I use, but the way I make the egg is nearly always the same.
    1. Break egg on a high heat pan and wait until the oil inside starts to pop (done about 30 seconds after the heat has been turned on)
    2. Bring it down to medium heat and break the yoke (making sure it doesn't spill onto the pan)
    3. Salt and pepper that side, and wait for the whites to harden and for the bottom to become golden brown
    4. Flip then immediately bring down to low heat, adding salt and pepper that side as well
    5. Put cheese of some sort on top and cover with a lid, taking it off the heat after 30 seconds to a minute
    6. Take the lid off after about 2 minutes, and put it on the already prepared sandwich (prepared just after the cheese goes on, which can vary in composition)
