My parents boil eggs TO DEATH. They put the eggs in when the water is cold and leave the pot on the stove for like 30 minutes or more. The yolks get this weird light grey color around the outsides and they're so dry I end up choking on the things lol If you made an egg boiling tutorial, I would show it to my parents lol
Mone Moore the only thing they have to change is to turn off the hotplate as soon as previously cold water with eggs boils, move it onto a flat non-metal surface and leave it all covered for 30 minutes without peeking. You'll have some good hard boiled eggs without any overcooking. Since your parents already "waste" 30 minutes, this would be the exact correction for them without any time adjustment needed.

+Tenzin Teselha I buy my Furikake at my local Asian market- you can get pretty big canisters of them for $2.99 in all sorts of flavours. The packages she was holding up are small, individuals packets and those are more expensive, usually on ebay or amazon. I LIVE on furikake, it totally changed rice for me, I love it!! I also love sweet soy sauce!! I put it on everything :)
I use a piece of decorative shelf liner hanging on my oven handle. Everything I own is black, grey, and metal so I bought a roll of black shelf liner and had some excess, and one day I discovered it works incredibly well for opening jars, twisting stuck bulbs without breaking them... etc. They make a ton of colors, patterns and styles. I'm sure you could find a roll that matches your stuff pretty easily. I just trimmed my extra to be a perfect rectangle, stitched some black ribbon around the edge and put a leather loop on it.. I never ended up using the loop though lol I'm just a crafty dude and can't help going waaaay overboard on everything I do ;P haha Anyway, it's s cool tip. Try it out?
Great to know. I use a silicone circle. It's about 6" diameter & flat. I got one from a health fair & one from a grocery give away. I love them. I've seen people use thin disposable gloves too. They don't even put them on, just use the outside. I've seen success with vinyl, silicone, nitrile & latex. I think the key is: anything that grips & holds helps.
This is what a cooking show would look like if Dora the explorer hosted it. ''Any idea what this might be?'' ''Any idea what these might be for?'' '' Yes Dora,looks like a peeler to me.'' ''That's correct,it's a spatula!''
We have the "PiepEi" (direct translation = peep egg) which is a plastic egg which you place in cold water with your real eggs and then bring to a boil. The PiepEi will start beeping different songs when the eggs are soft/medium/hard, so far it never disappointed me :) You can get several editions that have classical music, rock songs, etc, often with (bad) egg-related puns in the titels.
Not to sound like a psychopath, but it would probably work for getting fur off of an animal as well.. lol My dog has super dense fur and her brush loads up instantly, so we vacuum her but she clogs the vacuum up! We've tried special expensive brushes, trimmings... everything. We live in FL so we don't want her to be hot an miserable! She's so damn fluffy though, I might honestly try thise gloves. They look like they'd work, depending on how sticky they are...
@@thelegendofzoey Hunh. Do they? I'm gonna look into that, I actually considered buying these ones to try out ! I'll see if I can find the real dealio. Thanks! :]
In the summer our family picks and husks hundreds of dozens of corn. The gloves would be perfect to get all the "silk" off of the corn. I hate picking it off one piece at a time.
emmymadeinjapan please do the boiling egg episode. i heat the water with the eggs.. i tried to put cold eggs in hot water and my eggs cracked .. i love hard boiled eggs but i cant make them lol
Xeidasx it's pretty simple. First bring the water to a rolling boil, and done people say add a splash of vinegar to keep the eggs from cracking. Carefully lower the eggs into the pot and boil for 5-10 minutes. For easier peeling dump the eggs in cold ice water straight after they are done

I was raised by parents who didn’t know how to cook. These videos are so helpful and informative. I love the way she describes things and uses scientific facts. Keep making these amazing videos !!
Love your videos Emmy. Can't understand why anyone clicks dislike on your videos. That being said, no one peels soft boiled eggs. They are supposed to be placed in an egg holder, then cut or cracked on the top of the shell and eaten with a spoon.
Emmy when you brought up the boiling egg tutorial, I think it would be cool if you did sort of a back to basics series where you show your techniques for simpler things :)) loved this vid by the way!
Emmy, I have been watching your videos for a little over a year now and I am amazed at your genuinely warm attitude towards everything that you come across. I have recently lost my husband, (he passed away following a terrible accident while working on a DIY project at his mom's) and I have truly been battling whether or not to ask you and your followers for help. My sister was kind enough to start a gofundme page for me to help cover the costs of his medical bills, with your blessing, I would like to post the link within your comments section. Please let me know as I do not wish to impose or take anything away from your videos. Thank you truly for understanding!!
+emmymadeinjapan The egg shell sticking has to do with how fresh your eggs and not how you cook them. If the eggs are fresh they will stick, that is why you need to use eggs that are more than a week old at least. So buy fresh eggs for poaching, frying and so on and leave some older eggs for boiling.
All above is true. As for me I just go along with sticky eggs :) There is also, I found, a small trouble with boiling water if you wish your eggs to remain without any fractures in the shell (like when in Poland you want at least a dozen whole ones to do "pisanki" - which is basically painting them or drawing on them whatever you like (this years kids in my family went with lots of black crayon ;) ), a kind of thing you do here for Easter) there is a better chance they will crack due to temperature diffrence. Though with normal eggs it doesn't really matter :)
I absolutely adore you and always relax watching your show. Your upbeat attitude and calm demeanor is soothing. This makes content so much more enjoyable, easier to digest and I find myself watching lots of videos consecutively. Thanks Emmy 💕
"Omelets" that I was once again too impatient for and ended up scrambling. :D I'd like to see your hard-boiled egg method. I've been trying out different ones this past year, but still don't have a favorite.
I actually have one of those egg "timer" things, they are sold in American stores too. I don't use them to time hard boiled eggs, but rather soft and medium eggs which are trickier. And you learn by trial and error where on the timer those donenesses are for you. I like it for that purpose. The rice baller looks useful too. I'll have to check my Daiso. I see a fun Japanese shopping trip in my future.
ChaoticShelly The first one was definitely undercooked even for the soft boiled state. the white wasn't set. May be there's a different way of cooking. Like boiling the water and then putting in eggs and timer
I like Emmy because she's naturally charming. She isn't trying to sell a fabricated cartoony personality. She's got a serious face and she owns it. Wich makes it even more natural when she makes a joke and smiles. Real persons on youtube.
I use organic veggies so I leave the peel on I just scrub them well. Those gloves look like they would work well for what I use. The eggs look great. I don't peel soft boiled eggs, I cut the top off and scoop them out with a spoon so peeling wouldn't be a problem for me. and hard boiled, I just boil them hard for a bit. The peeler looks worthless. But who knows, to each their own. I like these kitchen gadget testings a lot. A person could go broke trying them all out so I love when you test them. That way I buy a few that look like they may be good for me. Less wasted money. Thank you very much! Love to watch all your videos.
I have a friend who's daughter won't eat rice unless it is in balls. I thought she was crazy to do that instead of saying 'just eat your rice'. I'm a mean mommy. :(
You can use the egg timer by letting the water boil and add eggs and timer, and the result will be better. The soft egg will actually be soft 😊 I have tried both ways with my egg timer and there was a big difference 🙂
Thing is though, the eggs Emmy are using are huge! Maybe the timer will work better with smaller-sized eggs, assuming the Japanese have the same kind of hens as we do here in South East Asia
Omg is'nt she perfect !!! She's so so perfect, her face her hair her smile her voice her personality !! The way she talk !! So confidence ugh she's angle ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻i think i'm falling in love
***** They're doing pretty good. Got my kitties their own heater for this cold weather. Ricky keeps trying to use the heater to make chicken fingers on it tho. Thanks for asking and thanks for the tip.
+lepetitgarçonsinsocks That doesn't help at all, it doesn't take into consideration the different sizes of eggs, the temp of the eggs, the temp of the water, how you want your eggs, how fresh the eggs are and other things.
The best method I've found for making perfectly cooked and peel-able eggs (even with new eggs) is to steam them rather than boil them. Bring the water to a boil first, add the eggs to the steamer, cover and turn down to low (about 3 on the stove dial) and cook 15 minutes for hardboiled (no longer or they will overcook!) or 13-14ish minutes for a softer yolk. I then transfer mine to a bowl with ice water and let sit until cool.
The mandoline I picked up at Daiso works surprisingly well! I also love it for little prep dishes and all my dishwashing supplies. Very specific brushes and sponges that are cheap enough to replace often.
I don't understand why you're peeling a soft boiled egg... Do Americans not have boiled egg and soldiers? Also I'm surprised by how different American vs UK egg-states are: To me theyre are all spot on!
Vedder Palmer American here. I'd never heard of boiled egg and soldiers or even seen an egg cup until I married my English husband. I don't even know anyone who eats soft boiled eggs here. I definitely think such things are uncommon here.
Alyxandria Getliff I find that strangely sad, given it was such a staple during my childhood. I wonder why it is- possibly related to the increased likelihood of getting salmonella? Or just one of those things without a particular reason. Do you eat them now and, if you have tried it, was the different texture off-putting?
Vedder Palmer Now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if the fear of salmonella is why we don't eat soft eggs. I think Americans are generally very conscious of salmonella, more so than any friends I have from outside the States. I personally have never tried a soft boiled egg, I generally just don't like eggs much to begin with. It looks very... slimy though, so I'm not to eager to try it anyways! 😬
Most salmonella are affected from the outer shell of the egg, meaning the some of the chicken poop got into the egg lol 😅 These days, eggs are process to be clean and somewhat safe compare to the old days 😊
I love how you give your kids a bit more independence and authority over what they do. For a person with really strict parents I get anxiety and alot of problem with choices because i wasn't allowed anything as a child .
Emmy, I'm sure you've got tons of of comments about this already, but when you boil the eggs by placing them in the kettle right away, you're supposted to put them in cold water after they're cooked - that way the shell removes maybe as easy as how you're used to.
That rice ball shaker was cool. Didn't think it would work. Nice surprise. And yeah, those eggs seemed less of a Soft/Medium/Hard and more a Poached/Soft/Medium, to me.
RubyLovesRocket There's also a mini maki (mini/thin sushi) rice roll shaker! You literally shake the nori seaweed into the shaker to wrap the rice! There's videos on youtube for tutorials, try ochikeron's channel :) I have both shakers but I need to buy the rice, furikake seasonings and sushi fillings to use them!
Then your pan's too hot. Have the pan at a medium heat, use half butter and half olive oil (though it doesn't matter much) and slide the eggs in. Put a lid on the skillet for the last 30 seconds to finish off the top of the egg before the 'white' burns.
The best way is to use a small pan and poor in a cm of good olive oil and then put in on the smallest heat possible, put in the eggs and use a spoon to put the olive oil over the white. This way you are poaching them instead of frying them, put some salt only after they are done cooking.
I bought a hand french fry maker/potato splitter at DAISO! You take the potato and shove it through and it makes PERFECT french fries. I just leave the skins on, it's where the fiber and nutrients are in the potato. I season them like wedges and air fry them in my Nu Wave oven which I bought for $12 at Value Village!. lol I swear I use this thing a couple of times a week. I also love my tomato slicer which I use every once in a while when I need sliced tomatoes, onions or a bunch of black olives at one time. I have a few non-food prep DAISO items that I use in the kitchen like magnets, clips and hooks that are amazing, well-manufactured, affordable and cute!
My exgf does makeup professionally, and she has a special spray and mat to clean her good brushes, but her cheap ones she would shower with... lmao She would take them into the shower, and while her hair conditioner sat for a few she would clean them with baby shampoo, then hang them upside down to dry and then like... I dunno.. _massage_ them or something? Idk.. it was wierd as hell. Maybe she was shaping them or something, idk.. it was her relaxing private time so I never asked. I'd just watch her work sometimes because it was cute watching her do tedious work. Anyway, if you have a bunch of brushes and they aren't professional grade... just shower with them lol use baby shampoo or dawn soap like she did, and hang them upside down. Even I know you don't want water to sit in the metal bit around the brushy bits. If you have expensive ones... buy the spray. It's cheap, I've actually bought it for her a few times before. The mat is only a few bucks and the spray is like 5 bucks too. Cheap stuff. You don't want to get acne or infections from using dirty brushes. Everyone has Staph bacteria in their nose and streptococcus in their pores... spread that shit around and.... very bad. Haha Hope this helps. Dating a makeup doer girl had it's benefits if I can use some of what I learned to help others. Especially about being clean, you'd be surprised how often people get infections or pink eye from makeup brushes. They sit in your bathroom, you go poop, you flush, poop particles land on your stuff, you wipe poop onto your face and into your eyes. Infection. Always store your makeup outside of the bathroom and sanitize your stuff regularly with 91% Iso Alcohol (you can buy it at the dollar tree and put it in a spritz bottle) to kill germs. Good luck! Lol
Hi. I just want to say ,you rock. You have a wonderful attitude, funny, very appealing to your audience.. Some of the gadgets are neat ,thank you for taking the time to show us what and how they work. Peace.
Sari Masu I have a video on my channel called encapsulated glitter nails. Mind you I just started & don't have the best lighting. But I'll have a new nail tutorial up tmrw!
Hey Emmy, I was taught by my nana that if I make a little hole at the bottom end of the egg while boiling, it had a less change of cracking and exploding while boiling them. Also the egg comes out perfectly when cold or hot :)
Your theory on making eggs easy to peel by boiling the water first does work...sometimes. One for sure way is to use eggs at least a week old, place in cold water and set to a slow rolling boil for 5mins, drain and let cold water run over them for 2mins, I rap them on the pot to crack the shell while they're still hot. Shells come off in 2-3 pieces. Love your channel, you're just so cute you make me smile. Thanks
The best way to deal with composting your peelings of any kind ,( fruit, veggie, eggs), is to peel them onto a paper towel, then you just pick up the pile and drop it into your container cuz the paper is bio degradable too. And don't forget to drop in your coffee and tea bags and grounds. As for the boiled egg thing... eek. I don't think I would boil a plastic anything with something I'm going to eat, egg shells are porous so would absorb some of whatever is in the plastic., yummy. I just put my eggs in a pan with cold water, bring it to a boil, take it off the heat and put a lid on the pan. By the time the water is cold the eggs are done, that's for xtra large or jumbo eggs. Love your videos, very fun and interesting. Thank you so much for all the time and hard work you put into them, it's greatly appreciated. Have a fabulous day 😁
The rice ball thing is too cute!!!!! Also Emmy I have a question about the seasoning that you put on the rice balls. What is it exactly? Like an herb mix? Is that something typical of Japan to add a seasoning mix like that to rice? Hope you are having a great 2017 so far! xo
Ropodog I recently found the same rice ball and rice roll (mini sushi roll) shakers on ebay but I haven't used them yet! Furikake is usually used to make plain rice taste better. The seasonings are quite nice and there are also coloured seasonings to make rice pink, yellow etc!
The peeler gloves seem like they would work really well to really scrub clean russet potatoes for baked potatoes! I usually have to use a brand new scotch sponge with the green scrubby side every time I want to make baked potatoes. Yes it's just a sponge, but they aren't cheap and I only use them once on food. I love the flavor of the potato peel ( and retaining the nutrients! ) on my baked potatoes. The gloves obviously do not actually peel, but they would seem to work well as a thurough reusable scrubber for root vegetables! Thanks for your wonderful, honest, and very helpful reviews!!! You have saved me untold amounts of time, hastle and frustration, as well as money! THANK YOU! You are incredible and entertaining in every video you make! Love and Best Wishes from my Family to You & Your Family! Happy New Year!
In Australia, and I think the UK, soft boiled eggs would be exactly (eggsactly?) like how it turned out in this video. We have egg cups which hold them. You can cut the "top" off and dip in toast "soldiers" which is basically toast cut into strips.
my mother taught me her way of boiling eggs in the one where you bring the eggs up to a boil. If the peel sticks to the egg its because there isn't enough salt in the water If you take a knife and crack the egg shell in a circular motion around the egg it peels off a lot easier and there are less chunks in taken out of the egg.
You're SO PRETTY!!!! I'm actually quite surprised that you be got children....you look so young!!! My dad is a research chemist and his friend invented the egg timer!! The Japanese ones are SO MUCH CUTER than the American egg timers.....the American ones are just plain red!!!
Re plastic scent, keep in mind eggshells are partially porous. Some bacteria can get through the shell, so it would make sense that plastic might leech through. Its a bigger issue in Canada and the US, where we wash our eggs before sending them to stores, removing the outer most protective layer in the process.
I live at a high altitude and have to boil eggs longer for hard boiled eggs. If you add a ton of salt in the water, like when boiling pasta, the eggs don't stick to the shell. I put eggs in cold water, add salt, turn burner to high and set timer for 20 minutes. They come out perfect.
Rolling the egg under your palm after tapping it on the counter helps a lot with peeling. also once the eggs are done, drain the pot and leave them under cold water for a few and they will peel great every time.
i salt my water while cold, place the eggs in it, bring it to a boil, let it boil for 3 minutes and then turn off the burner and let them sit in the pot on the burner for 8 minutes or so, and then put them in cold water and peel them. this method always gets me eggs like number 3 in your test and are great for so many things.
Sarah Moorhead - You toast slices of bread, butter them, then cut them in to strips (like an inch and a half wide). We call those buttered strips soldiers 😀 Then you dip those in to your soft boiled egg. You'll need an egg cup to sit the egg in 😉 Best breakfast EVER. My kids love it!
For anyone who cares and doesn't already know, you can peel eggs super easily by cracking them and then putting them in water. Once the water gets under the shell, it slides right off. I usually boil eggs in huge batches and I'll just crack them all and put them back in the pot (now filled with cold water). Once they're all cracked, I start shelling and I usually have no problems at all. At thanksgiving I boiled 48 eggs, and only two didn't shell prettily.
I looooooooove that recent videos are captioned! I've been silently following you for a while. I love your calming voice. I'm a teacher, so after a day of LOUD, I like to come home to quieter things. (My rabbits agree.) I also really like how descriptive you are. It makes your videos accessible to a wide variety of people. ^^
Soft boiled eggs are not actually meant to be peeled. They are served in an egg cup, and the top is sort of sliced off. The egg is eaten right out of the shell.
I think it's better for people who eat a lot of rice? So you can make bigger batches. Also, maybe if you only had two burners on the stove and they were both taken up, you could use the rice cooker? So better for apartments, maybe.
You can put the eggs in when the waters cold, but when you take them out, immediately dunk them in cold/icy water! It'll give the same protein retraction and make them a dream to peel.
if youre having trouble peeling the shell from an egg started in cold water, once the egg is cooked to your liking, crack it all over and place it in cold water. The cold will contract the egg away from the shell. if you start your egg in boiling water it will cook the outside of the egg much quicker than the inside: similar to boiling potatoes.
when you boil eggs, bringing it up to temperature is to keep the yolks from turning green but when peeling them just crack them and set them in water. the shell comes off easy.
The best method I've found for making perfectly cooked and peel-able eggs (even with new eggs) is to steam them rather than boil them. Bring the water to a boil first, add the eggs to the steamer, cover and turn down to low (about 3 on the stove dial) and cook 15 minutes for hardboiled (no longer or they will overcook!) or 13-14ish minutes for a softer yolk. I then transfer mine to a bowl with ice water and let sit until cool.
My friend had an egg boiler from Germany. You put your eggs in, and there is a little cup. It has columns of number of eggs. The column has the gamut of soft to hard, so pick 2 eggs, add 2 eggs, Rake the cup, go to the 2 column, choose softest, fill water to that line, add the water, plugged in, turn it on. It sounded an alarm when it was ready.
Dear Emmy, the best way to cook eggs is to STEAM them in a steamer basket. Steam them for 18 minutes, cool under running water, then peal them under the faucet. They almost peal themselves and this works for fresh as well as older eggs. Love your videos!!!
I always take hot hard-boiled eggs and drop them into cold water to make them peel easier. We have an egg cooker that we use for our hard-boiled eggs. It has marks on it for the amount of water to put in for how well you want your eggs done and buzzes when they are cooked. It has a small spike to put a small hole in the large end of the egg and you put then in it narrow end down.
My Grandmother and Mother made soft boiled eggs all the time and they were the consistency of the eggs you showed for #`1 but they did not peel them, they put them in a egg cup or whiskey jigger and tapped off the top of the shell and dipped bread in or used a spoon to get small amounts at a time to put on their bread, never heard of peeling a soft boiled egg. I even have egg cups in shapes of chickens, ducks, spotted colors, solid white, I love the cups, not crazy over the soft boiled egg though. Just lovely memories of my Grandmother and Mom. When I make hard boiled eggs, I always dip in a ice water bath to cool down quickly so they peel like a dream.
Oh fooey. I saw the 100 and ignored the yen symbol and thought I was going to get to see Emmy demo 100 different gadgets. I'm definitely left wanting to see more, that was fun.
Actually, believe it or not, you can use a dish sponge to peel Russett potatoes. I found that out one time when I used one to clean a potato, yes I actually use the scrubby side to clean them for baked potatoes with a little dish soap that has been squeezed into the sponge, trust me it gets them ULTRA clean and it doesn't make them soapy and you can eat the skin without worrying about eating dirt. But yea the harder you scrub once the skin is washed then the skin will come off but if you just scrub at a medium type of grip it just cleans off the dirt from the skin. I learned to eat with chopsticks on my own as a child believe it or not and I have always shocked my family when I do it and actually entertain them by having them go 'Eat that next' its so much fun to do. I like the harder boiled eggs as I don't like the yoke and just pop those out and eat the whites.
Those egg timers are great my dad has one. As for your putting the eggs in boiling water, I don't do that I find they very often crack and all the egg gets forced out the crack. What I do instead is add a little some baking soda. It doesn't affect the taste and they peel quite easily. I cook mine 3 1/2 minutes from when the water starts to boil vigorously and they end up with yokes runny but whites firm. Then I put them into cold water.
My parents boil eggs TO DEATH. They put the eggs in when the water is cold and leave the pot on the stove for like 30 minutes or more. The yolks get this weird light grey color around the outsides and they're so dry I end up choking on the things lol If you made an egg boiling tutorial, I would show it to my parents lol
Mone Moore SAME RAWR XD
Yeah, they're over boiling them. Try suggesting maybe 5 minutes less. It should still be as hard as they like without that funky taste lmao.
Mone Moore the only thing they have to change is to turn off the hotplate as soon as previously cold water with eggs boils, move it onto a flat non-metal surface and leave it all covered for 30 minutes without peeking. You'll have some good hard boiled eggs without any overcooking. Since your parents already "waste" 30 minutes, this would be the exact correction for them without any time adjustment needed.
Mone Moore I love eggs with blue yolk lol
Susie Ain't Your Friend you, my friend, are very strong lol
Thanks for the correction guys. Most of the items sold at DAISO in the US are priced at $1.50, with some exceptions e.g. the peeler gloves.
emmymadeinjapan where did you buy the rice seasoning ?!
emmymadeinjapan in Australia they're $2.50 :(
Actually they're 2.80$ or 3$ in Melbourne but they have 'bigger' products that aren't even 3$ but 10$+

If you boil the potato for a bit those gloves should work as intended
I was raised by parents who didn’t know how to cook. These videos are so helpful and informative. I love the way she describes things and uses scientific facts. Keep making these amazing videos !!
Rice ball maker!!!
Love your videos Emmy. Can't understand why anyone clicks dislike on your videos. That being said, no one peels soft boiled eggs. They are supposed to be placed in an egg holder, then cut or cracked on the top of the shell and eaten with a spoon.
Emmy when you brought up the boiling egg tutorial, I think it would be cool if you did sort of a back to basics series where you show your techniques for simpler things :)) loved this vid by the way!
Your profile pic is adorable!
Emmy, I have been watching your videos for a little over a year now and I am amazed at your genuinely warm attitude towards everything that you come across. I have recently lost my husband, (he passed away following a terrible accident while working on a DIY project at his mom's) and I have truly been battling whether or not to ask you and your followers for help. My sister was kind enough to start a gofundme page for me to help cover the costs of his medical bills, with your blessing, I would like to post the link within your comments section. Please let me know as I do not wish to impose or take anything away from your videos. Thank you truly for understanding!!
Kenji's new method of steaming to make hard boiled eggs is the best! I made a dozen boiled eggs with zero sticking.
Ooo, I've yet to try it.
maybe you can make this into a video Emmy! :) Would be interesting to see!
+emmymadeinjapan The egg shell sticking has to do with how fresh your eggs and not how you cook them. If the eggs are fresh they will stick, that is why you need to use eggs that are more than a week old at least. So buy fresh eggs for poaching, frying and so on and leave some older eggs for boiling.
All above is true. As for me I just go along with sticky eggs :)
There is also, I found, a small trouble with boiling water if you wish your eggs to remain without any fractures in the shell (like when in Poland you want at least a dozen whole ones to do "pisanki" - which is basically painting them or drawing on them whatever you like (this years kids in my family went with lots of black crayon ;) ), a kind of thing you do here for Easter) there is a better chance they will crack due to temperature diffrence. Though with normal eggs it doesn't really matter :)
I love the face you get when you just don't like something, but still want to keep cheerful.
I've always peeled eggs under running water, makes everything so much easier.
I absolutely adore you and always relax watching your show.
Your upbeat attitude and calm demeanor is soothing. This makes content so much more enjoyable, easier to digest and I find myself watching lots of videos consecutively.
Thanks Emmy 💕
What did/are you going to have for dinner?
General Tso's Chicken!
emmymadeinjapan some tofu and noodles! classic lol
"Omelets" that I was once again too impatient for and ended up scrambling. :D I'd like to see your hard-boiled egg method. I've been trying out different ones this past year, but still don't have a favorite.
Butternut squash soup.
emmymadeinjapan I had cueritos en chile which is basically chunks of pork with skin in a thick salsa-like sauce.
I actually have one of those egg "timer" things, they are sold in American stores too. I don't use them to time hard boiled eggs, but rather soft and medium eggs which are trickier. And you learn by trial and error where on the timer those donenesses are for you. I like it for that purpose.
The rice baller looks useful too. I'll have to check my Daiso. I see a fun Japanese shopping trip in my future.
The eggs would peel much better if you put them into an ice water bath right after - regardless of how long you cook them :)
ChaoticShelly The first one was definitely undercooked even for the soft boiled state. the white wasn't set. May be there's a different way of cooking. Like boiling the water and then putting in eggs and timer
Himani U that Asian soft egg.
Cesar Battistini Maziero I'm Asian. That's nobody's soft egg lol It's just undercooked.
Himani U in some parts of Japan that is a soft egg.
Himani U in Singapore, we genuinely eat them at that consistency with soy sauce and white pepper for breakfast. We do refer to it as “soft boiled”
I like Emmy because she's naturally charming. She isn't trying to sell a fabricated cartoony personality. She's got a serious face and she owns it. Wich makes it even more natural when she makes a joke and smiles. Real persons on youtube.
That rice baller was great. I love Furikake on my rice. 🌻
Make sure that the furikake is not made in communist china. Read the labels closely even if it is sold by the Japanese company.
I use organic veggies so I leave the peel on I just scrub them well. Those gloves look like they would work well for what I use. The eggs look great. I don't peel soft boiled eggs, I cut the top off and scoop them out with a spoon so peeling wouldn't be a problem for me. and hard boiled, I just boil them hard for a bit. The peeler looks worthless. But who knows, to each their own. I like these kitchen gadget testings a lot. A person could go broke trying them all out so I love when you test them. That way I buy a few that look like they may be good for me. Less wasted money. Thank you very much! Love to watch all your videos.
I love your joy when you saw that the rice ball gadget worked nicely :)
I have a friend who's daughter won't eat rice unless it is in balls. I thought she was crazy to do that instead of saying 'just eat your rice'. I'm a mean mommy. :(
You can use the egg timer by letting the water boil and add eggs and timer, and the result will be better. The soft egg will actually be soft 😊 I have tried both ways with my egg timer and there was a big difference 🙂
Thing is though, the eggs Emmy are using are huge! Maybe the timer will work better with smaller-sized eggs, assuming the Japanese have the same kind of hens as we do here in South East Asia
Omg is'nt she perfect !!! She's so so perfect, her face her hair her smile her voice her personality !! The way she talk !! So confidence ugh she's angle ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻i think i'm falling in love
Whoevers reading this, you're a great person and you deserve the best
Thanks, man ✌🏻️ you too!
Sheys_Cosplay aww thank u!
Sheys_Cosplay thanks, I needed that
Thanks ☺️👍 you as well
Oh, shut up.
I love how she is just so calm and not trying to yell at the camera how some you tubers do
Yes make a video on how to boil eggs perfect.
***** They're doing pretty good. Got my kitties their own heater for this cold weather. Ricky keeps trying to use the heater to make chicken fingers on it tho. Thanks for asking and thanks for the tip.
+lepetitgarçonsinsocks That doesn't help at all, it doesn't take into consideration the different sizes of eggs, the temp of the eggs, the temp of the water, how you want your eggs, how fresh the eggs are and other things.
The best method I've found for making perfectly cooked and peel-able eggs (even with new eggs) is to steam them rather than boil them. Bring the water to a boil first, add the eggs to the steamer, cover and turn down to low (about 3 on the stove dial) and cook 15 minutes for hardboiled (no longer or they will overcook!) or 13-14ish minutes for a softer yolk. I then transfer mine to a bowl with ice water and let sit until cool.
Daiso is my favorite store here in Korea. It’s like a gigantic convenience shop but everything is actually built pretty well
your videos are so organized and just overall great😊👍 *congratulations* 🎁🎉🎊
The mandoline I picked up at Daiso works surprisingly well! I also love it for little prep dishes and all my dishwashing supplies. Very specific brushes and sponges that are cheap enough to replace often.
I don't understand why you're peeling a soft boiled egg... Do Americans not have boiled egg and soldiers? Also I'm surprised by how different American vs UK egg-states are: To me theyre are all spot on!
Vedder Palmer American here. I'd never heard of boiled egg and soldiers or even seen an egg cup until I married my English husband. I don't even know anyone who eats soft boiled eggs here. I definitely think such things are uncommon here.
Alyxandria Getliff I find that strangely sad, given it was such a staple during my childhood. I wonder why it is- possibly related to the increased likelihood of getting salmonella? Or just one of those things without a particular reason. Do you eat them now and, if you have tried it, was the different texture off-putting?
Vedder Palmer Now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if the fear of salmonella is why we don't eat soft eggs. I think Americans are generally very conscious of salmonella, more so than any friends I have from outside the States. I personally have never tried a soft boiled egg, I generally just don't like eggs much to begin with. It looks very... slimy though, so I'm not to eager to try it anyways! 😬
Vedder Palmer nope we only have hard boiled eggs. I have never had a soft boiled egg.
Most salmonella are affected from the outer shell of the egg, meaning the some of the chicken poop got into the egg lol 😅 These days, eggs are process to be clean and somewhat safe compare to the old days 😊
I love how you give your kids a bit more independence and authority over what they do. For a person with really strict parents I get anxiety and alot of problem with choices because i wasn't allowed anything as a child .
the rilakkuma seasoning was so cute oh my god
Emmy, I'm sure you've got tons of of comments about this already, but when you boil the eggs by placing them in the kettle right away, you're supposted to put them in cold water after they're cooked - that way the shell removes maybe as easy as how you're used to.
That rice ball shaker was cool. Didn't think it would work. Nice surprise. And yeah, those eggs seemed less of a Soft/Medium/Hard and more a Poached/Soft/Medium, to me.
RubyLovesRocket There's also a mini maki (mini/thin sushi) rice roll shaker! You literally shake the nori seaweed into the shaker to wrap the rice! There's videos on youtube for tutorials, try ochikeron's channel :) I have both shakers but I need to buy the rice, furikake seasonings and sushi fillings to use them!
i love your comment about how you teach your kids to use chopsticks
I'd love to see how you prepare sunny-side up eggs. Mine always end up overcooked and too crispy.
Me too!
Then your pan's too hot. Have the pan at a medium heat, use half butter and half olive oil (though it doesn't matter much) and slide the eggs in. Put a lid on the skillet for the last 30 seconds to finish off the top of the egg before the 'white' burns.
Alan Mac Alternatively you can base the top of the egg with the melted butter to cook it.
thats what i do! put pan lid on medium heat, when whites are cooked i get a spoon and base the yolk with the oil till its a pale pink
The best way is to use a small pan and poor in a cm of good olive oil and then put in on the smallest heat possible, put in the eggs and use a spoon to put the olive oil over the white. This way you are poaching them instead of frying them, put some salt only after they are done cooking.
I bought a hand french fry maker/potato splitter at DAISO! You take the potato and shove it through and it makes PERFECT french fries. I just leave the skins on, it's where the fiber and nutrients are in the potato. I season them like wedges and air fry them in my Nu Wave oven which I bought for $12 at Value Village!. lol I swear I use this thing a couple of times a week. I also love my tomato slicer which I use every once in a while when I need sliced tomatoes, onions or a bunch of black olives at one time. I have a few non-food prep DAISO items that I use in the kitchen like magnets, clips and hooks that are amazing, well-manufactured, affordable and cute!
Those gloves would be great for cleaning makeup brushes!
With the texture on the gloves the way it is it would rip the hairs right out of the brush.
miss lilkev right. I bought one to clean my makeup brushes.
@@Dea_Ex_Machina they make gloves like this for cleaning brushes....it doesn't rip hairs out.
Hate to be gross but they would do great on sinks and tubs and...stuff. 🤢
My exgf does makeup professionally, and she has a special spray and mat to clean her good brushes, but her cheap ones she would shower with... lmao
She would take them into the shower, and while her hair conditioner sat for a few she would clean them with baby shampoo, then hang them upside down to dry and then like... I dunno.. _massage_ them or something? Idk.. it was wierd as hell. Maybe she was shaping them or something, idk.. it was her relaxing private time so I never asked. I'd just watch her work sometimes because it was cute watching her do tedious work.
Anyway, if you have a bunch of brushes and they aren't professional grade... just shower with them lol use baby shampoo or dawn soap like she did, and hang them upside down. Even I know you don't want water to sit in the metal bit around the brushy bits. If you have expensive ones... buy the spray. It's cheap, I've actually bought it for her a few times before. The mat is only a few bucks and the spray is like 5 bucks too. Cheap stuff.
You don't want to get acne or infections from using dirty brushes. Everyone has Staph bacteria in their nose and streptococcus in their pores... spread that shit around and.... very bad. Haha
Hope this helps.
Dating a makeup doer girl had it's benefits if I can use some of what I learned to help others. Especially about being clean, you'd be surprised how often people get infections or pink eye from makeup brushes. They sit in your bathroom, you go poop, you flush, poop particles land on your stuff, you wipe poop onto your face and into your eyes. Infection.
Always store your makeup outside of the bathroom and sanitize your stuff regularly with 91% Iso Alcohol (you can buy it at the dollar tree and put it in a spritz bottle) to kill germs.
Good luck! Lol
Don’t just like kitchen gadget tests I love them, I just found you with your MRE tests and I have be addicted
I actually would really like to see an egg tutorial, like all types soft ,medium,hard, it would be cool to learn!
Hi.
I just want to say ,you rock.
You have a wonderful attitude, funny, very appealing to your audience..
Some of the gadgets are neat ,thank you for taking the time to show us what and how they work.
Peace.
I watched videos of peoole showing inside of Daiso and I need it in my life! It looks amazing!
Sari Masu *people*
Sari Masu aww thanks! I just started my channel so I only have one nail tutorial up at the moment but I appreciate it. 😊🤗
Sari Masu I have a video on my channel called encapsulated glitter nails. Mind you I just started & don't have the best lighting. But I'll have a new nail tutorial up tmrw!
I like your videos. Good luck with your channel! :)
Oh you do need it in your life its amazing ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
I literally get so excited for your videos ! Especially these gadget ones!!!!!!
I thought the rice ball maker was to shape boiled eggs for bento. It's soo cute!
Hey Emmy, I was taught by my nana that if I make a little hole at the bottom end of the egg while boiling, it had a less change of cracking and exploding while boiling them. Also the egg comes out perfectly when cold or hot :)
Emmy should get an award
Elijah Destroyer should she get an Emmy? XD
Your theory on making eggs easy to peel by boiling the water first does work...sometimes. One for sure way is to use eggs at least a week old, place in cold water and set to a slow rolling boil for 5mins, drain and let cold water run over them for 2mins, I rap them on the pot to crack the shell while they're still hot. Shells come off in 2-3 pieces. Love your channel, you're just so cute you make me smile. Thanks
The rice ball shaper!!!
My daisuki!!!
The best way to deal with composting your peelings of any kind ,( fruit, veggie, eggs), is to peel them onto a paper towel, then you just pick up the pile and drop it into your container cuz the paper is bio degradable too. And don't forget to drop in your coffee and tea bags and grounds. As for the boiled egg thing... eek. I don't think I would boil a plastic anything with something I'm going to eat, egg shells are porous so would absorb some of whatever is in the plastic., yummy. I just put my eggs in a pan with cold water, bring it to a boil, take it off the heat and put a lid on the pan. By the time the water is cold the eggs are done, that's for xtra large or jumbo eggs. Love your videos, very fun and interesting. Thank you so much for all the time and hard work you put into them, it's greatly appreciated. Have a fabulous day 😁
The rice ball thing is too cute!!!!! Also Emmy I have a question about the seasoning that you put on the rice balls. What is it exactly? Like an herb mix? Is that something typical of Japan to add a seasoning mix like that to rice? Hope you are having a great 2017 so far! xo
Ropodog tru
Ropodog I recently found the same rice ball and rice roll (mini sushi roll) shakers on ebay but I haven't used them yet! Furikake is usually used to make plain rice taste better. The seasonings are quite nice and there are also coloured seasonings to make rice pink, yellow etc!
Thank you so much for the info!! That is too cool!! I will need to look and see if I can find some I really want to try it out!
Ropodog The seasoning usually contains nori, sesame seeds, and some kind of dried fish. Another popular one is ume I think. :)
Amy He That's correct! There's also one with dried Egg (Tamago) and even tiny dried fish!
The peeler gloves seem like they would work really well to really scrub clean russet potatoes for baked potatoes! I usually have to use a brand new scotch sponge with the green scrubby side every time I want to make baked potatoes. Yes it's just a sponge, but they aren't cheap and I only use them once on food. I love the flavor of the potato peel ( and retaining the nutrients! ) on my baked potatoes. The gloves obviously do not actually peel, but they would seem to work well as a thurough reusable scrubber for root vegetables! Thanks for your wonderful, honest, and very helpful reviews!!! You have saved me untold amounts of time, hastle and frustration, as well as money! THANK YOU! You are incredible and entertaining in every video you make! Love and Best Wishes from my Family to You & Your Family! Happy New Year!
I would like to see a video about how to boil eggs properly.
I fail miserably at it even though I follow instructions for it.
In Australia, and I think the UK, soft boiled eggs would be exactly (eggsactly?) like how it turned out in this video. We have egg cups which hold them. You can cut the "top" off and dip in toast "soldiers" which is basically toast cut into strips.
That rice ball maker is possible to be used for meatballs also?
my mother taught me her way of boiling eggs in the one where you bring the eggs up to a boil. If the peel sticks to the egg its because there isn't enough salt in the water If you take a knife and crack the egg shell in a circular motion around the egg it peels off a lot easier and there are less chunks in taken out of the egg.
You're SO PRETTY!!!! I'm actually quite surprised that you be got children....you look so young!!!
My dad is a research chemist and his friend invented the egg timer!! The Japanese ones are SO MUCH CUTER than the American egg timers.....the American ones are just plain red!!!
OncNurseSpursSoccerChick Clayton Emmy is in her mid 30's, it must be her Chinese heritage that keeps her looking so lovely!
Re plastic scent, keep in mind eggshells are partially porous. Some bacteria can get through the shell, so it would make sense that plastic might leech through. Its a bigger issue in Canada and the US, where we wash our eggs before sending them to stores, removing the outer most protective layer in the process.
legend says if you're early she'll respond ;o
SuperDaStar hopefully the rumor is true!
🙋🏻
emmymadeinjapan 😘
I love Daiso! It's one of my favourite stores ever. You can find such interesting things in there.
I thought the peeler gloves were potato cleaning gloves for a second :P
I live at a high altitude and have to boil eggs longer for hard boiled eggs. If you add a ton of salt in the water, like when boiling pasta, the eggs don't stick to the shell. I put eggs in cold water, add salt, turn burner to high and set timer for 20 minutes. They come out perfect.
I actually love going to Daiso shop. I buy gadgets mostly that i can use. True not all the stuff is great but at least its something 😆
Rolling the egg under your palm after tapping it on the counter helps a lot with peeling. also once the eggs are done, drain the pot and leave them under cold water for a few and they will peel great every time.
The egg cook video is not silly, I think it's going to get you a lot of traffic over time.
i salt my water while cold, place the eggs in it, bring it to a boil, let it boil for 3 minutes and then turn off the burner and let them sit in the pot on the burner for 8 minutes or so, and then put them in cold water and peel them. this method always gets me eggs like number 3 in your test and are great for so many things.
You don't peel a soft boiled egg Emmy. You put it in an egg cup, cut the lid off and dip buttered soldiers in it 😀 Hmmmmmmmmm!
+Gina I'm American, what's a buttered soldier?
Sarah Moorhead - You toast slices of bread, butter them, then cut them in to strips (like an inch and a half wide). We call those buttered strips soldiers 😀 Then you dip those in to your soft boiled egg. You'll need an egg cup to sit the egg in 😉 Best breakfast EVER. My kids love it!
Gina Sounds delicious!! In Singapore we serve it in a bowl alongside some soy sauce and black pepper
For anyone who cares and doesn't already know, you can peel eggs super easily by cracking them and then putting them in water. Once the water gets under the shell, it slides right off. I usually boil eggs in huge batches and I'll just crack them all and put them back in the pot (now filled with cold water). Once they're all cracked, I start shelling and I usually have no problems at all. At thanksgiving I boiled 48 eggs, and only two didn't shell prettily.
try the gloves with cooked vegetables, should work
I looooooooove that recent videos are captioned! I've been silently following you for a while. I love your calming voice. I'm a teacher, so after a day of LOUD, I like to come home to quieter things. (My rabbits agree.)
I also really like how descriptive you are. It makes your videos accessible to a wide variety of people. ^^
I wanna boil the video dedicated to boiling an egg if you have time.
Soft boiled eggs are not actually meant to be peeled. They are served in an egg cup, and the top is sort of sliced off. The egg is eaten right out of the shell.
Judy Gerstner rx:&);
Why do you use a rice cooker. It seems to me like a waste of cabinet space because it is just as easy to use a pot
Jake Mullen have you ever used a rice cooker vs a pot? it's so much better imo, but to each their own.
I think it's better for people who eat a lot of rice? So you can make bigger batches. Also, maybe if you only had two burners on the stove and they were both taken up, you could use the rice cooker? So better for apartments, maybe.
Fair enough
Rice cooker keeps the rice warm so any time you need rice it's there!
As an Asian, we must have a rice cooker. If you don't have one, you're not truly an Asian basically 😅
You can put the eggs in when the waters cold, but when you take them out, immediately dunk them in cold/icy water! It'll give the same protein retraction and make them a dream to peel.
Love watching your kitchen gadgets tool videos! Love you! Thanks and Blessings! 🙏🏻😀❤️
if youre having trouble peeling the shell from an egg started in cold water, once the egg is cooked to your liking, crack it all over and place it in cold water. The cold will contract the egg away from the shell. if you start your egg in boiling water it will cook the outside of the egg much quicker than the inside: similar to boiling potatoes.
Every time she says "any idea what this might be?" I feel like a little kid watching cartoons 😂 I love it!
when you boil eggs, bringing it up to temperature is to keep the yolks from turning green but when peeling them just crack them and set them in water. the shell comes off easy.
The best method I've found for making perfectly cooked and peel-able eggs (even with new eggs) is to steam them rather than boil them. Bring the water to a boil first, add the eggs to the steamer, cover and turn down to low (about 3 on the stove dial) and cook 15 minutes for hardboiled (no longer or they will overcook!) or 13-14ish minutes for a softer yolk. I then transfer mine to a bowl with ice water and let sit until cool.
My friend had an egg boiler from Germany. You put your eggs in, and there is a little cup. It has columns of number of eggs. The column has the gamut of soft to hard, so pick 2 eggs, add 2 eggs, Rake the cup, go to the 2 column, choose softest, fill water to that line, add the water, plugged in, turn it on. It sounded an alarm when it was ready.
I LOOOOOVE the contradiction of the flaky egg yolk in the soft chewy egg white😍
Dear Emmy, the best way to cook eggs is to STEAM them in a steamer basket. Steam them for 18 minutes, cool under running water, then peal them under the faucet. They almost peal themselves and this works for fresh as well as older eggs. Love your videos!!!
I love how you actually showed us using it. Please do more Japanese kitchen gadgets, maybe bento or baking ones :)
I'd love to see you with your kids testing kid-friendly kitchen gadgets!
I always take hot hard-boiled eggs and drop them into cold water to make them peel easier.
We have an egg cooker that we use for our hard-boiled eggs. It has marks on it for the amount of water to put in for how well you want your eggs done and buzzes when they are cooked. It has a small spike to put a small hole in the large end of the egg and you put then in it narrow end down.
My Grandmother and Mother made soft boiled eggs all the time and they were the consistency of the eggs you showed for #`1 but they did not peel them, they put them in a egg cup or whiskey jigger and tapped off the top of the shell and dipped bread in or used a spoon to get small amounts at a time to put on their bread, never heard of peeling a soft boiled egg. I even have egg cups in shapes of chickens, ducks, spotted colors, solid white, I love the cups, not crazy over the soft boiled egg though. Just lovely memories of my Grandmother and Mom. When I make hard boiled eggs, I always dip in a ice water bath to cool down quickly so they peel like a dream.
Oh fooey. I saw the 100 and ignored the yen symbol and thought I was going to get to see Emmy demo 100 different gadgets. I'm definitely left wanting to see more, that was fun.
Actually, believe it or not, you can use a dish sponge to peel Russett potatoes. I found that out one time when I used one to clean a potato, yes I actually use the scrubby side to clean them for baked potatoes with a little dish soap that has been squeezed into the sponge, trust me it gets them ULTRA clean and it doesn't make them soapy and you can eat the skin without worrying about eating dirt. But yea the harder you scrub once the skin is washed then the skin will come off but if you just scrub at a medium type of grip it just cleans off the dirt from the skin. I learned to eat with chopsticks on my own as a child believe it or not and I have always shocked my family when I do it and actually entertain them by having them go 'Eat that next' its so much fun to do. I like the harder boiled eggs as I don't like the yoke and just pop those out and eat the whites.
I'm a seventyfour year old Grandma and great,i have bought almost every one of these things,. Thank God I'm past that STANGE, but it was fun 😋
Those egg timers are great my dad has one. As for your putting the eggs in boiling water, I don't do that I find they very often crack and all the egg gets forced out the crack. What I do instead is add a little some baking soda. It doesn't affect the taste and they peel quite easily. I cook mine 3 1/2 minutes from when the water starts to boil vigorously and they end up with yokes runny but whites firm. Then I put them into cold water.
I usually dont boil eggs anymore. I steam them Chinese style and they are just delicious and soft.
I love the rice shaker!! Looks like so much fun
When I make hard boil eggs, I put them in the pot and wait til the water boils, place lid on, turn off stove, and wait for 5-7 mins. Works every time.
I think you missed an opportunity for some great comedic gold with the carrot and peeler gloves LOL
