Eggs Benedicts 2 Ways: Dried Yolk Powder vs Fresh Egg Hollandaise
This is part two of the dried egg powder experiment! I made hollandaise from reconstituted eggs and fresh eggs, after being thoroughly impressed at how well dehydrated eggs work for carbonara. While this time the dried eggs didn't mindblowingly outperform fresh imo, it is amazingly easy to work with, and you can easily scale it down to single-serve portions - harder to work with a fraction of a yolk with fresh eggs! I think I will find myself making the shortcut hollandaise repeatedly.

Carbonara Experiment: Powdered Egg Yolks vs Fresh - Are Dried Eggs Any Good?
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 2 měsíci
Powdered egg yolks (amzn.to/4cgBiVy) are pasteurized and spray dried, and marketed to be an instant, ready-to-use substitute for fresh eggs, with extended shelf life and food safety assurance. How do they actually taste though? Are they comparable with real fresh eggs? This is my experiment & side-by-side comparison. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that, I actually preferred the taste o...

This year I tried it out myself, and I can conclusively assure you, "carving" pumpkins are 100% edible, and delicious, and definitely worth cooking with! That they're a lot cheaper by weight (than acorn, butternut, or kabocha squash) is just added bonus! Vegetable carving is a tra...

This is a faithful copycat of TJ's Arepas, reverse-engineered from the official ingredient list - which is quite different from the authentic Colombian/Venezuelan savory classic, not just in appearance but more importantly in flavor. It is a lot sweeter, due to the abundance of sweet corn used in place of cornmeal. When corns are picked, enzyme action immediately begins to convert sugar in the ...

is it raw meat?
Prosciutto/cured ham is uncooked, but the extended aging time (12+ months in salt) really transforms the texture, so it doesn't taste "raw". I've had salami and pepperoni for many years without realizing they are uncooked.
@@workdaygourmet thanks for the info
Just watched a video where plain Alka-Seltzer (without pain reliever) was used in this process. Its ingredients are literally sodium citrate. Who would have thought!
Thank you so much for saving me a lot of time. I Am now a new subscriber
Can I prep the dough and keep it in the fridge?
For extended time, I would add a 1/4 tsp of yeast, since this recipe gets its rise only from baking soda/baking powder, which may lose leavening strength over time. Live yeast will help with leavening overnight and for days.
If you warm eggs slightly before exposing them to boiling water, they almost never crack.
Doesn't work for me

I love the texture and taste of soft boiled eggs but I gave up on making them years ago... I bought a pack of those cheap little silicone 'cups' to make poached eggs in. I can make breakfast for 5 or 6 people really quickly, and the garlic butter toast is ready by the time the eggs are done. I live happily with that compromise... I don't plan on making soft boiled eggs ever again. I'm posting this so others might consider this as an alternative.
I make poached eggs far more often too. Soft boiled is like 90% for marinating and 10% for picnic/road trip where I want something portable. If you're home and just want plain egg for a salad or toast, poached or fried would be a lot faster and easier.
Pouring the boiling water is genius! Instead, what I've been doing is boiling the eggs in a pasta cooker that has a nesting colander. I put the main pot and colander together to cover the eggs with enough water, then separate the pot and colander leaving the eggs in the colander, bring the water in the main pot, and add the eggs in the colander to the pot once the water is at a rolling boil. Once it's boiled for about a minute, I put it aside for however long I need to get whatever stage of boiled eggs, pull out the whole colander and change the water in the pot to cold water. If it's a smaller batch of eggs, I use a scoop colander to place the eggs in the boiling water instead.
I've never thought of using a colander! That's super clever!
Which one tasted the best? What about texture and chew?
Personally, 00>all purpose>bread flour, but only because I have some pre-existing expectations of what a Neapolitan pizza should be like. The bread flour texture is closer to American style pizza, which could be preferred by someone who's unbiased to what it "should be".
@@workdaygourmet I appreciate your thoughts and the informative video! I will run these experiments myself as I’m trying to figure out my own ultimate pizza recipe and process, but it’s great to hear your thoughts as a preview of what I’ll experience!
Sandwich company stated pealing eggs with 11°C cold water is optimal.
Oh shit i never thought of using it with pre-existing bags. Maybe I will get this instead of the handheld one now!
I love that holy roman empire reference 😂
In my experience it all comes down to the egg type not how you treat them before peeling.
Theoretically , what temp do you want your butter when pouring to fully pasteurize the egg?
Depends on egg temp/room temp/blender speed. The final mixture needs to be 60C for a few minutes. With fresh eggs the double boiler is hard to omit if pasteurization is important
Thanks! I've never made this and my sister just had a baby and want to make sure if I cook for their family it's safe.
@@shade_the I really started using the pasteurized dried eggs for pasta and sauces after my toddler has shown interest in trying adult food. I was ok with playing loose with raw eggs for myself but wanted to play safe with young kids.
These all seem to end up with cold eggs. If you like your eggs cold, this is perfect.
The only predictor of good peeling is the thermal shock. Dump you eggs in boiling water, don't put them in the water before it boils. Also dump them in cold water at the end. The you can pop the shell like a peanut pod.
In some ramen shops they have a device with a small needle that they pinch the butt of the egg with it's only air so the egg doesn't leak. Once you cook it and icebath it, the water can go neatly between the egg and the shell or membrane. I need to procure myself one of those. I think.
found them on amazon! didn't know about egg piercers til today. super cool!
Link for kefir grains in Description (3 dots icon). Full video to come on preserved lemons! (different methods & result comparisons 🍋🍋🍋)
I just cook them a hard boil state. For peeling. I just use the pot and shake the eggs. The peel just comes off after the shake.
Peeling quail eggs is harder bc the membrane is much thicker. Roll the egg under light pressure so the shell is cracking all around it. Use the handle of a teaspoon and use it to remove the shell by slightly moving it under the membrane around the shells "equator". Once done you should be able to remove the top and the bottom shell from the egg. That method is working for chicken eggs too…
Just made my first batch of soft boiled eggs in probably 10 years. I always struggled with peeling them. Thank you for this video
Not the first time I come across the method, but definitely the most informative one. (What's with the comments here? No she didn't overcook the rice, she bought it "precooked". She said the results weren't salty even with the simplest table salt you can find.)
In germany we poke a small hole in the air pocket of the egg, while boiling water can enter the hole and seep between shell and egg for an easy release.
How do you know where the air pocket is on a raw egg? (Doesn't it move?)
@@workdaygourmet no, its set on one sode of the egg (the wider one) The bubble needs to be stationairy as a chick would need it to breath while in the egg.
Well, the "Eierstecher" is mainly used so the heated air within the air pocket can escape, for the benefit that the egg won’t crack. At least that’s the idea. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_piercer
@@agn855 definitely buying one of these! (why do egg gadgets always look like torture devices!😂)
Merci
Яйца чистятся плохо если они сведие. Если старые, то чистятся легко. Только поэтому.
Dont know what i did. It failed. I got minute maid rice . What do i do with it then
If it's not burnt you can throw it in a blender and use it like gluten free flour
When I was a kid in the 90s it never crossed my mind that you could fail or mess up when peeling eggs. As a kid I never peeled an imperfect egg. I don't know what changed over the years. Eggs seems more difficult to peel nowadays
Supermarkets today probably have better supply chain and operational logistics than in the 90s, so we are more likely to encounter a box of very fresh eggs, which are harder to peel than slightly aged eggs, assuming same cooking methods and all. You can always start going through the box with sunny side up and eggs benedict, and finish the week with some marinated eggs
You don't know why eggs stick to the shell, do you? Just use older eggs. Boil two eggs that are close to the expiration date and two eggs that are brand new from the market. Peel both, you will find the old eggs peel easy and really new eggs will stick no matter what you do. It's that simple. Stop lying for clicks.
how long does it haft to sit for🤔
I peel my eggs with one hand! Put eggs in boiling water, after 2-3 mins take eggs from pot and drop them on work top just to break the shell, place back in pot to boil. When cooked place them in a basin of cold water then one hand take egg and gently tap egg all over on worktop and roll & massage under the cold water so water gets in behind the shell, remove your hand from water and roll in hand and shell just falls off. Works every time.
I have Never Been able to peel an eggs smoothly after being stored in the fridge over night. I always have to run them under hot water so the shell will expand a little.
Most people put a lid over the pot when popping corn. Cause it goes flying and making a mess.
To peel boiled eggs, just put in a closed jar half filled with water. Shake vigorously for a few seconds and voila!
U can literally jus cover it in oil after u cut it and put it back in the fridge it will stay yellow
It should take you 10 seconds to peel them. At mensho, we peel 15 dozen eggs in 45 minutes or less.
So yummy 😋 😋
Lovely fondue pot, just got one the other week from a second hand store, mines copper, am looking for nice dippy bits ideas, thk U urs looks delicious!!!!!
Congrats on scoring a copper pot! Those things are so expensive new!
Thank you.
Your channel is great. I found it yesterday. You should have more followers. Keep it up!
serrano is shitty ham...iberico is the real thing...
If you put them in the fridge overnight, why are the yokes still warm?
This is good idea 😅 lots of cooks allways over complicate things. This is much easier thanks .
How much was it??
Thank you. I would add Thai basil which u can grow or buy
just put it in a glass of cold water and shake intensly, the shell should be peeled in seconds
You’re sawing it not slicing it 💔💔💔
Interesting and thorough. Love the Mason jar and chip bag tips.
Mam you didn't knead the dough..?
No knead!
I think this is the problem, maybe my eggs are too new? They are just crappy cheap eggs from the supermarket.
If they're super new just poach them! (You can confirm if they're new by poaching too. Older eggs have looser whites) It's actually really cool you can get very new eggs for cheap at the supermarket.
