/ck/ - Food & Cooking

For your case I would recommend frying your eggs to go with each meal.

Fried eggs can go great on top of a lot of things. Salads, burritos, whatever.

Trade them for favours/other foods?

>>6693

I'm already giving them to neighbors and friends etc. it's gotten me a couple of bottles of wine in return

>>6696

Chickens truly are the biggest contributor of protein of all food sources

THANKS CHICKIES

try traditional french macarons. your first few batches are bound to not turn out quite right, so having a good supply of fresh eggs is a must.

also, souffle, custards, curds, poached, boiled, fried, scrambled, egg-drop soups, egg yolk ravioli, fresh pasta, meringue, raw on a steak tare-tare

it's probably the most versatile ingredient ever used. in the traditional french chef's hat, each fold is said to represent another way the chef should be able to prepare the egg.

honestly, if Bubba from Forest Gump had been a chicken farmer instead of a shrimp fisherman, this scene would have lasted the whole movie.

>try putting the plate next to an open window that isn't letting sunlight in directly.

In the northern hemisphere, that would be a north facing window, ideally on an overcast (cloudy) day.

Back when I was doing photography, we referred to this as "the world's biggest softbox".

As for making the fluffy omelettes look better, quit scorching them. Minimize that maillard reaction; some of us don't want to be thinking of a tough crust on the egg-puffs.

Aside from regular egg recipes (poached, fried, boiled, etc) I can think of:

-Spanish Omelet. Just stir the eggs, put it on a pan, add some chorizo and julienne-cut potatoes, then flip it and cook the other side

-Egg salad

-Cakes, pastries, hot cakes, all that stuff that goes with flour

-You won't use that much at all, but egg whites are good at gluing ceramic together if it broke down

Motherfucking creme brulee

OP has chickens.

doesn't have a snail problem

>>6740

I wasn't going to assume that his chickens have access to his garden. Chickens will dig up fresh soil and shit all over everything, so I've always kept my neighbor's chickens away from my plants.

>>6833

All I had was cheddar.

Fuck cheddar.

>>6839

It's a pretty dramatic lighting.

>>6869

The cheeseburger was being interrogated.

The good cop and the bad cop are out of the camera angle, but you can hear them in the background asking things like "Where were you on the night of the twenty-second?"

They're really grilling that cheeseburger.

>>6873

Good thing that burger's got an egg on his side - it's going to need plenty of henergy

So how HEALTHY eggs are exactly? Your average chicken eggs obviously.

Since this thread i thought i'd start eating them again mostly as omelettes or boiled but a good omelette requires atleast 3eggs and it's kinda conflicting on the studies mostly about the yolk and it's healthiness and how many eggs one should eat daily/weekly at most.

Last week i made omelette twice and used total of 8eggs and im not gonna throw the yolk in the trash because i hate wasting food.

>>6910

I usually make a 2 egg omelette and roll it up in a tortilla.

Are eggs bad for you? Well, too much of anything isn't good for you. Balance and variety.

>>6910

yolk has fat in it, but it's not enough to offset the benefits you get from the proteins and vitamins, unless of course you are eating way too many.

and of course, if you're doing it for your health, boiled or poached is better than anything that involves adding fat, like omelets, scrambled, or fried eggs.

>>6910

Eggs are very healthy, don't be scared of eating yolks please.

However, just because they're healthy, that does not mean "eat a shit ton because it's good for you". Eating a shit ton of anything is unhealthy. Normal people don't put more than 2-3 eggs in an omelette.

Eating small portions = healthy.

Eating large portions and/or like a pig = not healthy, no matter what you're eating.

>>6911

>>6912

>>6916

I think i'l lower my eggs to 2-3 in omelette, the 4 was bit too much and maybe 6eggs a week or so~.

I mostly started eating them again because eggs are pretty damn cheap even the quality ones not from chickens in cages and a good replacement for the more expensive meat as a source of protein.

>>6917

omlettes are very quick to make as well if you want post workout protein

I'm going to suggest you make your own pasta (a nice egg based pasta) and some lovely carbonara sauce to go over the top of it.

Both will use a ridiculous amount of eggs.

You need to use more eggs, time to make some ice cream for dessert.

That, or learn how to preserve them (I seem to recall something about a wash and then quick coating of mineral oil), or sell them to your neighbors. The easiest way is surely to get more people to try and eat the eggs; selling them to the neighbors readily accomplishes this.

>bring shredded cheddar cheese out to warm as you work

>crack 2 eggs in frying pan

>pan's coated in butter (not too much)

>bust yolk and add black pepper

>fry it hard; add Worcestershire sauce and poppy seeds as it cooks

>bring to plate and keep egg in microwave or warming box

>take frying pan and dice up spam or real breakfast meats

>fry up meat in leftover butter and egg residues

>bring meat to bowl of cheese and toss; dust result with generous amount of chili powder

>bring egg out of warming thing and dump meat and cheese onto egg

>serve hot with OJ

>or milk if you're training for heat

Eat plenty of these spicy abortions and you too will be more resistant pepper spray!

Pickle some of your extra eggs in the summer. Have loads of protein in winter.

>>7911

why the fuck are you cooking your meat after your eggs? just cook your eggs in the leftover grease from the meat, and your eggs wont be overcooked to all hell. also there's nothing spicy in that recipe.

>>7924

>there's nothing spicy in that recipe.

worcestershire sauce has enough spice in it to make it spicy. As does black pepper and chili powder.

Otherwise, you are absolutely right about cooking the meat first and letting it rest, and then topping it with the egg.

>>6691

What are you, a faggot? Give them to your neighbours/family. Don´t be a dick.

>>6695

Oh, good for you then. Have you thought about contacting one of those "all-bio" shops and selling your eggs?

>>7926

none of those are cayenne.

>>7935

Most chili powder has ground cayenne as the major ingredient.

My dad usually deals with the excess with either meringue or pastries.

>>7946

This right here best way to deal with excess eggs is either give em away(sell) or use them in recipes that use a shit ton of eggs.

>>7953

Tell me your favorite fuckton-of-eggs recipe.

>>7958

scrambled eggs. Just scrambled eggs. I can eat about 3 fried eggs before I'm done with them. I could probably eat a whole dozen if they were scrambled though.

>>7959

>12 eggs

that would just destroy my asshole

>>6867

does this actually taste decent

>>7971

Fucking delicious. I add a sprinkle of soy sauce and a dash or rice vinegar. Otherwise, plain white steamed rice, crack an egg in it, stir up.

Saw this today and thought of this thread. I personally find some of the recipes in this video a little ridiculous, but that's mainly due to to the prospect of using so many eggs. I really do love eggs though.

>>7993

I feel the need to beat the shit out of those two. But the youtube channel seems pretty good regardless.

You're feeding them ground flaxseed, right?

What's the best way to fry an egg to get a perfect fully cooked yolk?

Anyone ever get into trouble from raw eggs? I've been drinking them for a few weeks now without any issues, and better performance during the day compared to dry cereal. I don't want to push my luck though.

>>9842

>perfect yolk

>fully cooked

you can only have one, anon.

for real though, if you want your yolks all the way done but the whites to not be rubbery you should pop the yolks as soon as they hit the pan.

>>7993

>egg white 'omelet' with 'yolk surprise'

i wonder if they realized halfway through that they could have just made a sunny side up and folded it to get the exact same result

op, this takes a bit of effort, but if you have a vacuum sealer and sous vide equipment, you can:

crack a bunch of eggs into a bowl and mash them up to make the liquidity mixture (no cooking has occurred at this point)

pour the mixture into ice cube trays and let them freeze

once frozen, put the cubes into vacuum bags and seal them (I'd say about 6-8 cubes is a decent serving for one), toss the newly sealed bags back into the freezer

when needed, grab a bag out of the freezer, drop into the sous vide water bath and cook at the required time/temp

and you have scramby eggs whenever you want
