Re: I love a runny yolk myself. Tim Send a noteboard - 31/12/2011 11:30:07 AM
However, it does explain why I was served such terrible rubbery eggs the first time I went to America.

If you can take it out of the pan without pouring, it's cooked. Anything beyond that is a matter of taste. And my taste says there's nothing better than a yolk that's only just solid enough not to run everywhere when you bite into it, as long as it's tilted upwards.


No, there's no requirement to cook the yolk in America... I like having a fully cooked egg white and then the yolk be as runny as possible. If you want to make fun of America and eggs, there's way worse egg related offenses. I think it's ridiculous to only want to white and to see the yolk as the undesirable unhealthy part- that's the best part!


Ave only said it was suggested. Is that true in your experience?

Throwing out the yolk and keeping the white is something I will never understand. Egg whites are tasteless. I had never heard of this bizarre practice, but then very little I learn about the USA surprises me any more.

Ha! Just make sure you wash your eggs before cracking them. Vivien - 27/12/2011 05:33:52 PM 967 Views
Use caution when washing eggs... Avendesora - 27/12/2011 08:50:37 PM 1059 Views
What? Why would you wash an egg? I've never heard of this. *NM* Tim - 27/12/2011 11:33:57 PM 614 Views

Aha. That makes sense. Nate - 28/12/2011 05:26:47 AM 1054 Views
That's a relief. You can't eat raw egg in this country anyway, so I don't need to change any habits. Tim - 28/12/2011 10:37:47 AM 899 Views
Is there a law? Nate - 28/12/2011 03:29:39 PM 970 Views
What I mean is that everybody considers it unsafe to eat raw eggs. Tim - 28/12/2011 06:37:17 PM 942 Views
I didn't know that. Nate - 28/12/2011 07:54:37 PM 1005 Views
It is suggested in the US that you cook the yolk to solid too. Avendesora - 30/12/2011 11:58:10 AM 866 Views
