Have you tried steaming eggs. Reduce the water, so it takes less time to come to a boil. The lack of submersion makes no difference to cooking time. Do cover the pot obviously.
Quicker cooking time. I think they make for better eggs too but thats opinion based.
Save water, save time.
Might as well go the microwave route if time and water efficiency is the goal.
I would sooner rip out my throat ❤️
You can make scrambled eggs in the microwave in 3 minutes
How come ?
3 minutes in most microwaves boiles water. So you can scramble an egg with water in a small container and it’ll cook it.
Pretty useful for a quick breakfast in the breakroom right before your shift starts.
I would test it out at home first to get the hang of it.Works well in leftover cup ramen broth. Stir it in, add any extra seasoning or bits, nuke it and enjoy. Makes the eggs taste like the ramen. I’m not an egg enjoyer but this tastes good.
I too enjoy giving my body a shot of sodium.
I mix a bit of canned tuna in with mine, it reminds me of my mother.
She was a special lady
Always boil 3. Two to eat now and one to eat after now is over.
This is an acceptable way to eat eggs, though I do not care for it on a personal level.
I’ve had that as a framed needlepoint above my stove since the war.
I would like some boiled eggs :(
Please send a self-addressed envelope. It will have to be inside another envelope. But that one should have my address—the one on the outside.
I can’t give you my address, but I’m on one of the continents and via process of elimination, you’ll get it eventually.
It might take a while, so you should probably remind me by including a note that you want the boiled eggs.
It might sound like you would end up sending letters asking for eggs to everyone on earth, but unless I’m the last address you send to, that seems pretty unlikely.
I promise fast boiled-egg shipping once I receive the self-addressed envelope (inside the envelope with my address that arrives at my address). You may need to plan to receive other eggs from other people at other addresses, if they respond to your boiled-egg request attempts.
Apologies in advance, I have a policy of not dealing in hollandaise.

You will need to slice the eggs in order to place them in the envelope.
I bought an egg cooker a few years ago. It cost about $15 and very quickly steams eggs with great results. The reason I bought it was because I thought it was a good, efficient way to handle smaller batches, but I found that for some reason it doesn’t produce the foul egg smell that is typical with boiling eggs.

That sulfurous smell is associated with overcooking eggs. Sounds like the device you have doesn’t overcook eggs.
I like boiled eggs. Fried eggs are also nice.
Poached are the best because when you cut them they cum
Depends how you fry your eggs.
Soft boiled or hard boiled?
That’s really up to the eggs…
Eggs take the wheel.
Hard boiled peeled eggs can be stored for up to five days in a ziplock in the refrigerator. You can go wild next time. I wonder if there’s a community for that…
i personally just put them unpeeled in the fridge and then skip the peeling process entirely when i go to eat them.
instead of peeling them, i smack them on the outside with a spoon to create a crack, then rip the eggs in half. afterwards, i can use the spoon to scoop out the insides of each half. usually takes me way less time than peeling, but im also not very good at peeling
Why the ziplock bag?
Because if they are peeled the oxygen can get in, i’m guessing.
So the whole refrigerator doesn’t smell like farty eggs. A jar with a lid works, too.
Ah I see. Thanks for explaining. I store them unpeeled, indeed.
Because the eggs are unable to open the bag due to lack of opposable thumbs
They dont make ziplock boxes
I always boil one egg or three because I’m embarassed to boil two.
Just cut one in half before you boil it, so it feels Like you are boiling three, but only using two. And one of them is extra-big, so you should feel really excited—like, “Wow, look at how big this one egg is!”
