      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.

      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.

    I'm amazed at how accurate all the information in this is. Usually most "let me teach you about..." videos are full of long held misconceptions, but this was well researched and completely correct on all points (especially the nuances of marketing terms used for eggs). Good job NYT and Sohla, I'm honestly impressed with the quality of information here.

  • @waywardmind
    @waywardmind Před 4 měsíci +50

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This was wonderful! My daughters (9 and 6) love to watch cooking videos with me, and this one really helped them (and me) gain understanding of the “why” behind the things you do when cooking a variety of egg types. Thank you, Sohla!

    YES! Love Sohla and excited for this series ❤We love the break down of the labeling at the grocery - we know how confusing labeling and all the buzz words can become! At One Mighty Mill we are on a mission to provide a more delicious and nutritious flour, bread, and bagel through stone-milling our organic non-gmo wheat instead of having it go through an industrialized roller mill. A lot of that may not be clear when staring at the bread wall at the grocery store, similar to the egg cooler.

    I just tried the fried egg method. I now understand why people love fried eggs. Thank you so much! I love adding simple techniques to my skillset to make simple things delicious and satisfying. I keep looking for more videos in this series. They are wonderful for someone like me who didn’t grow up in a cooking family but wants to cook for myself regularly.
    Please keep up the fantastic work.

    Hi. Watching from London. There are so many more options in the US. Holy moly. There may be 2-3 types of eggs at even our biggest grocery stores. This is good to know when visiting the US, so thanks for sharing about egg buying in the US.

      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!! 😀

  • @rcpmac
    @rcpmac Před 3 měsíci +1

    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.

    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.

    I finish my scrambled eggs with some finely chopped chives and a light drizzle of melted browned butter. I take them off the heat well before they are done because they continue to be cooked on the plate, also the butter will cook them a little. I always cook fried eggs in normal butter but regulate the heat so that the milk proteins toast (not burn) and become nutty, which incorporates a wonderful taste into the eggs. I add black pepper and fleur de sal onto the uncooked eggs as they are added to the pan, so that the egg gets seasoned in the body of the egg.

  • @420BraiseIt
    @420BraiseIt Před 4 měsíci +11

    Very great video. I always love seeing content from Sohla and her approach to keep explanations simple. One thing that may be confusing is how you approached the "over easy" egg. In my years as a diner breakfast cook, we always flipped anything "over". So over easy, medium and hard got flipped and developed that wisp of golden on the opposite side. How you showed an easy way to do over easy would be a "basted" egg. I completely agree that basted is superior to "over" style, since it's easier for the cook and accomplishes the same end goal. But then, for your fried egg (again, beautiful and perfectly executed), some may be confused as you are "basting the egg" in oil, but that's not a basted egg. Sorry to all new cooks. Terminology is weird when multiple people didn't agree on what to call a process before naming it 😂

    A couple of tricks I use... For Scrambled: Break eggs (2 or 3) into a 500ml jar (medium pasta sauce or a jam jar) a tbls of water, salt then put the lid on and shake it up.. Seems faster and less labour intensive, and it always works, no bits of white unmixed. cooking depends as she says upon what you are going for.. her techniques are great. As she did with putting a lid on to speed things up, I add a spoon or three of water which steams not only to cook the whites faster but to create "overcast" instead of sunny.
    EDIT: I just now realized that she does what I call overcast as Over Easy. To my way of thinking over easy is flipped. Ce Sa
