Poll: Tip: How to make sure your egg yolk is in the centre

[Stan_Lite]

I heard this recently on Saturday kitchen live and got around to trying it tonight. If you shake an egg vigorously before cooking it, the yolk will be perfectly central when cooked - works for boiled or fried eggs.

In the picture below, the left hand egg was shaken vigorously for ~10 seconds before cracking it open. The egg on the right was not shaken at all. I did not tamper with the eggs in any way once in the pans.



I haven't tried it with boiled eggs but they did it on the programme and it worked.

My mum just confirmed she's done this for years and it works brilliantly. Why haven't I heard of this earlier?

Another one of life's regrets!

Does it work with sous vide eggs?

Does it work with sous vide eggs?

How do eggs done sous vide differ?

How small are those pans?!

I hope you don't want children

 

[DirtyJester]

Prefer it off centre

 

[Judgeneo]

Gives a whole new meaning to shaking eggs

How small are those pans?!

Fried egg sized

Also great for röstis, small pancakes and many other things.

I'm laying in bed reading this and I really want to go downstairs and try this now. I was wondering this the other day when I had a centralised yoke in a cafe.

Also I now have this vision of eggs going flying in kitchens all over OcUK land.

frankly, I couldn't care less.

Eggs are life savers though. Definitely one of my favourite food sources.

i prefer the yolk off to one side so it is easier to flip without breaking
cool tip though

 

[Raymond Lin]

I'l have to try that !

Although the big pan that i have is higher in the centre so i am not sure this works lol

Hmmm, if I tell my wife I'm likely to get egg on my face.

 

[randomshenans]

I don't really care as long as it's runny.
