This reminds me of a staple of my Boy Scout cooking: eggs in a bag. Just crack your eggs into a zip top bag (it must be a freezer bag to handle the temperature), add cheese, or peppers, or whatever you like in an omelet, suck out the air, and put it in boiling water until it’s done. Then, if you eat your omelet straight out of the bag, you have no clean up!
It had never occurred to me then to try to cook anything else in bags, but I'm certainly going to try this out.
- tptacek 16y agoJust remember that there's a huge difference between boiling and SV'ing eggs. Boiled eggs sound gross. Boiled steak is gross. You don't want to let the eggs get over 150. Eggs cook fast. Water boils at 212f.
- logicalmind 16y agoExcept for poached eggs. Cooked in nearly boiling water. Quite excellent.
- chrisa 16y agoAh yes, I forgot to mention: watch your eggs very closely, or they turn slimy (which is as gross as it sounds, yes). If you get them out in time though, they taste basically like an omelet cooked in a pan. Then again, I was a teenager last time I did that, so maybe I'd have a different opinion if I tasted them now :)
