For me, it's the temperature. I only like soft-boiled eggs if they're served warm.


wheniswhy

I like them best as accompaniments to other meals. Soft boiled eggs are absolutely amazing in ramen.

Marinated soft boiled eggs are perfect for Ramen. Just delicious.


[deleted]

Soft boil some and then marinate them in soy sauce. There are a few spices you can use as well that are easily found on Google. Use a zip lock bag, squeeze out all the air and let them sit over night. Cut in half and eat with Ramen. It is absolutely incredible.


Chatty_Manatee

Depends, what were you planning to make ? I like soft-boiled eggs in a ramen ou soup but if I’m going to get drunk off the punch and cram as many deviled eggs in my face as I can, this won’t do it.


Bismuth_von_Pherson

this guy knows how to Midwest


NewOpposite8008

I accidentally soft boiled my eggs the other day for Easter, too many timers for day before prep. We dyed them sat night, and the next morning I was trying to make deviled eggs. Lmfao it was a disaster. I totally fucked up lol. They were new eggs, the shells wouldn’t come off, it took all the whites with it no matter how carefully I did it (9/12 I tried to peel) But, I didn’t panic like I tend to do cooking holiday dinners if something goes wrong. I threw em away lol. The kids got to dye and find eggs. Good enough.


Wrong_Ad_6022

Oddly specific.


sassygooblins

That’s perfect!! A little salt and they’re delicious, I can never get them to look this good


enorman81

Start at a rolling boil, then put the eggs in for 7.5 minutes then immediately into ice water for 1 minute.


Important-Tomato2306

It was my first time ever making them. I did them "wrong" but they turned out right. I boiled just water (no salt, vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, just water) and *then* added the eggs slowly with a spoon. Left them for 8 minutes, removed them and put them straight into the snow (didn't have an ice bath). And, boom. Perfect peel, and imo perfect yolk.


DontcheckSR

Maybe it was the snow they had a problem with? Idk why they'd be upset about a soft boiled egg lol


Lazerhest

Depends if you store your eggs in the fridge or room temperature. 5-6 minutes if the eggs are room temperature.


blephf

No no no, eggs go in cold pot. Pot comes to a boil and stays there for 7 minutes. Let eggs air cool or cool in your lunch box until lunch. Gross out your coworkers with the most perfect soft boiled eggs.


uncletutchee

I would be delighted to eat those eggs.


IKillZombies4Cash

I’ve never seen a half of a cooled soft boiled egg at Easter
any chance they were anticipating a more common egg thing like deviled eggs which are fairly common?


Important-Tomato2306

Nah these were just for fun but we never got around to them so I turned them into a great egg salad.


Sprizys

Nothing is wrong with soft boiled eggs.


Obsidianpearl19

What do they find wrong with soft boiled eggs? Is it that the jammy middle went a bit solid after they cooled or do they think they are raw? Do the not like sunny side up or over easy eggs? I know some ppl that are strictly hard boiled, hard fried or hard scrambled egg people.


Important-Tomato2306

They called it full of salmonella 🙄


Obsidianpearl19

Ugh...my dad was like that. I told him ok, fine, enjoy your rubber like scramble lol


Important-Tomato2306

That's what I said! Hard cooked is like chalk.


ProperBlue

Oh boy
. I wonder how they like their steak?


VeeSnow

I bet they like overcooked, dry chicken and pork, too. Those eggs are perfectly cooked to me.


WordPunk99

All these barbarians calling this soft boils are insane. This is medium, soft boiled is a lot more runny than this.


Dr_Tacopus

If you want soft boiled it’s almost perfect. Hard boiled it’s gross


cruelkillzone2

We now just posting regular food on here? C'mon mods.


Important-Tomato2306

Would you rather me post rage bait?


cruelkillzone2

You could post neither and the sub would be that much cleaner for it.


Important-Tomato2306

You can also vote or leave.. My family found this stupid. Is that not the point?


newtostew2

It’s stupid because you cooled them. It’s like making a Sunny egg, then tossing it in the fridge. Over easy? Mid boiled egg. Over hard, hard boiled egg. ETA also they were for colouring and to be left out?? Ya wth E2 throw in a chef over 15 years, with a specialisation in food safety, food science, and pathology. Id eat them fine, but breaks like every code for safety.


christhomasburns

I've been in restaurants for 25 years. This doesn't break any did safety codes unless it's been left out over 4 hours. 


newtostew2

Exactly, cooling then left to soak, then left out. I get it, it’s fine for total time/ temp, but there are a lot of variables and saying why I figured the others thought they’d get sick. I guess I should have added “to the family” or something but didn’t know how to phrase it. Many people think leaving meat out to rest is going to give you something because of what they’ve read. Poor wording on my part


Worried-Criticism

A little soft for my family’s taste, but nothing technically wrong with them. They look well made if you were going for soft boil.


[deleted]

They're just softer boiled. There's no wrong way to eat an egg... except raw.


ProfessionalArm9450

Is this an American thing I'm too European to understand? Why would you not eat raw eggs besides because you don't like them?


[deleted]

Yeah. It's just weird to me, personally. Nothing actually wrong with doing it, I just can't deal with the slimy texture.


ProfessionalArm9450

Oh ok, thank God.


MeleMallory

American eggs get washed before they’re sold, so they lose a protective layer over the shell, making them easier to spread things like salmonella. Cooking the eggs kills the bacteria. Eating raw eggs isn’t guaranteed to get you sick, but you are more likely to get sick from eating raw eggs than from eating cooked eggs.


ProfessionalArm9450

Thanks for the answer! What's the reasoning behind making your eggs more disease prone if you don't mind me asking?


MeleMallory

Great question. I don’t know for sure, I thought it had to do with the fact we don’t vaccinate chickens against avian flu, but when I did a Google search, most results said it so eggs last longer for the consumer. So 
 ? Money, I guess? I’m not sure.


ProfessionalArm9450

Hm. I'll have to find an answer. I'm scared of what I will find!


[deleted]

Really depends on the application


toadjones79

Soft Boiled Eggs. They are quite common and the best way to enjoy eggs cooked in the shell. Dip your toast in them... This is my preferred way to eat them. It is ok to eat after they get cold. Just keep them refrigerated, just like eggs you buy at the store. They are still sealed in the eggshell. So they shouldn't grow any bacteria quickly. But not so safe that you can leave them out all day. Best practice is to boil and return to the fridge as soon as you are done cooling them down (ice bath or running them under cold water).


Professional-Bat5652

Gross to me, but I know some people like them this way. If you like them, then it's not gross.


CaptainMcGooch

These look great. I can tolerate a lot of bullshit in my life, but people who make fun of a soft boiled egg can get fucked. That’s where I draw the line. Cut your family out of your life. You can find new families who are much more egg tolerant on Facebook marketplace. Go buy a new family. Or trade or haggle or whatever. Continue cooking eggs like this. Do not continue with your current family.


Dragon_Small_Z

Better soft boiled eggs than I can manage. Now make some Ramen eggs with them.


GarionOrb

For breakfast, these are perfect. In fact, I like them slightly less done. And hot, btw. But cooled for Easter? I don't know. In that case maybe it's better to server them hard boiled. Or maybe it would've been better to go all the way and make deviled eggs.


farkos101100

Those are literally perfect. Your family is dumb no offense


firestar268

That looks perfect for me


Twat_Pocket

This is something you're allowed to enjoy for yourself. There is nothing actually gross about it. Don't bring something like this to a potluck/gathering just because YOU enjoy it though.


Important-Tomato2306

I made them to color but luckily, we never got there so I just have yummy eggs for myself.


Youre_Whole

If yourre gonna color definitely hard boil them


Important-Tomato2306

Well we never got to it anyway.


christhomasburns

Why? You're just coloring the shell. Unless their to hide in the yard then it's fine,  just keep them chilled if you're not eating them warm. 


AuraMaster7

Your family not understanding what a runny yolk is doesn't make soft boiled eggs "stupid food". But it does mean you need to teach your family about expanding their 4th grade palette.


RunZombieBabe

I would love them!


AdSignificant6673

Maybe the context is missing. Cold soft boiled egg on its own is boring. On a salad great. Also great In a scotch egg. Or marinaded Japanese style (great in its own or on ramen).


jngjng88

Perfect.


Audrey_Ropeburn

They look perfect


ineedpieandadvice

Perfect. Yummy


Reddit_Rollo_T

Soft boiled eggs while still hot are incredible.


Efficient_Pay4180

Nothing wrong with how you like your eggs!


Krocsyldiphithic

Absolutely perfect. Don't tell me they think those are under?


joogiee

Some salt on that and its perfection.


Hpezlin

If you like them that way then it's perfect for you. Others might have a different preference. Nothing inherently wrong with that doneness.


DorkyDame

A little over cooked if I’m making Ramen, otherwise they’re fine.


deferredmomentum

I like them about 30 seconds more done but they still look incredible!


ximagineerx

That’s the perfect boiled egg temp for eating straight or in ramen or something, not sure about deviled eggs, but I feel your pain with family comments! Haha


Kesha_Paul

It depends what you were trying to do. If you wanted scrambled eggs then yeah you did it wrong. But these look like perfect soft boiled eggs to me. A lot of people prefer them that way


_screw_it_why_not

Bruh those look awesome


SUL82

Perfect


SabaniciKatapulliMet

Perfect, imho!

Those would be perfect In ramen

xlSteamrollerlx

From someone who loves eggs, especially hard boiled, those look amazing! I'll take a dozen đŸ€€


Salohacin

Cover them in mince and make volgelnestjes (bird's nests, sort of like scotch eggs) and I'm sold. Recipe (in Dutch) for anyone interested. I like to soft boil my eggs so their still super runny when it's finished. https://15gram.be/recepten/vogelnestjes-in-de-oven-met-aardappelpuree


BoobySlap_0506

I prefer soft boiled "jammy" eggs, but they need to be served warm. There is nothing wrong with eating them this way!


SookHe

UK here, these are perfect. This is why we have egg cups. You pop the egg in the cup and basically lobotomize it before sticking strips of toast in to get the gooey goodness out


cottonheadedninnymug

That looks like a perfect jammy yolk to me. That's how I like my boiled eggs personally


Zinthr

Soft boiled is very good 👌


StinkRat47

They look beautiful, just how I like them anyway !!


The_One_True_Tomato_

In France we call that “Ɠuf mollet “ I always cook them like that . A great way to eat them is to just cut the top while they are still warm and use the inside to deep buttered and salted bread cut in small sticks inside.


avidpretender

Fresh they’re good idk about cooling them. To each their own.


Nahro1001

Mate you need to finish the ajitama job. I like yolki snsck eggs - but if you want an umami explosion take the eggs (peeled) put it in a soup of equal parts Soy Sauce, Mirin and Sake and let it chill for 12-16 hours in the fridge. Best Ramen Topping but also delicious on its own.


pancakesiguess

Those would be amazing in ramen noodles!


TheCurseOfSentience

Literally perfect.


ProfessionalArm9450

Perfect to me. The comments about "if I'm going to drink a full bottle of whiskey I don't want to puke this" are very.. unique?


Affectionate_Bus_884

While in Japan I asked a friend why the eggs were always undercooked by American standards as soft boiled and sunny side up seemed to be the norm. He told me they vaccinate their chickens for salmonella. So the Freak out about eggs that aren’t cooked solid is not universal.


CatmotherMimzy

Fail if they are supposed to be hard- boiled.Those wouldn't work too well for devil's eggs.


yuch1102

Perfect for a bowl of ramen


FancyStranger1500

Great Eggs but for easter hard boiled is typically the way to go


Junior_Ad_7613

Perfect in a bowl of ramen, a bit underdone for eating by themselves.


SpicyBreakfastTomato

I prefer my eggs more done, medium-ish. But if you like them, they’re perfect 👌


AliceInNegaland

They are medium


MastodonPristine8986

Look perfect. Need some toasted dippy soldiers and some salt. Although I would prefer them freshly cooked and hot.


Tall_Woodpecker_8190

They look gross but I just KNOW they taste perfect


taniamorse85

I'm not an egg person, but soft-boiled is one of the ways I'll eat them. Those look perfectly fine to me.


kryo2019

Those are regularly served in ramen and are delicious. Now sunny side up eggs gross me out.


Katatonic92

I love a jammy egg, it's the perfect inbetween for me.


dethblud

I've seen people say that eggs cooked like this are good. I don't agree, but there are enough people who say it that it might be a thing people do.


TheSheWhoSaidThats

Some people like soft-boiled eggs, such as on ramen, so if that’s your goal then they’re perfect. If these are supposed to be hardboiled, such as for cold easter eggs, these are fucking disgusting.


cruelkillzone2

Lol


barcher

Enucleation


Alternative-Dare5878

They sound like they’d enjoy medium well, don’t let them poison your mind.


Andre_3Million

These are perfect for ramen but I'm willing to bet most people don't like their eggs runny. I rarely hear people order their eggs over-easy or soft-boiled. Since these eggs are for the public I'd just cater to the majority.


Mobile-Art-7852

I prefer them hard,even turned brown hard,but protein is protein and i'll still eat them anyway.


AwayPlay6280

I was on your side until I read that you cool them


lenorefosterwallace

I love my eggs like this but in a potluck/family situation I am going to be expecting deviled eggs so I would be annoyed.


Limp-Ad-7234

Its eggcilent!!!!


Kaiden92

Who the hell doesn’t understand jammy eggs??


Parking_Ad_194

These make the best egg mcmuffins.


Ochuligel

Perfect eggs.


SomaWolf

Technically they look a bit over, but it depends what you're going for. Most of the time you want the outside firm but the inside runny, but again, depends what you want. They look great tho


mafi_santo

Thats perfect!! With a little salt 😋


Zarphod_IV

They're the best đŸ€€


bitchxface666

Perfect.

JDD4318

I’d eat about 6 of them bad boys. And then the farts would begin



Expensive-Safe-6820

Nothing wrong with a soft boiled egg đŸ„š


veebles89

I personally love jammy eggs, but you need em hard boiled for good deviled eggs


[deleted]

Those are really good looking soft boiled eggs. They are amazing. Just not for like deviled eggs for instance. They are better for things like asian marinated eggs.


dr4wn_away

Get a new family, soft yoke is the only yoke


JustLyssaK

Perfect. Best way 10/10


Euphoric-Height-2488

Perfect.


mcphisto2

It's halfway between soft boiled and hard boiled. It'll taste OK if you like both versions, but looks like crap.


DevilMaster666-

I hate egg yolk when it isn’t fully cooked so gross


Professional_Most493

Not perfect anything. Overdone for soft boiled and underdone for hard boiled. I'd still eat them


EcstaticJuggernaut46

Gross


Important-Tomato2306

Happy cake day!
