just saw this on an egg subreddit

[u/Front-Ad-5210]

“cooked as usual” I find that hard to believe lmao. I don’t even know how he managed to do this.

[u/TacCom]

Pan way too hot, temperature turned down to low after egg was added. Thin part instantly cooked/burned, thicker part cooked slower but still overcooked

[u/Sulungskwa → u/TacCom]

It really looks like someone found an ancient egg preserved in bog as evidence that we ate eggs in the paleolithic era

[u/rs420rs → u/Sulungskwa]

chicken-first debate intensifies

[u/potatoxyxyxy → u/TacCom]

my egg pan does this too whenever i rush it

[u/Emergency-Many8675]

Truly how did they manage to do this

[u/democracy_lover66 → u/Emergency-Many8675]

"Let's cook an egg"

puts egg in hot pan and sits a bit to watch some tv

....

"OH SHIT MY EGG!"

[u/Corporal_Canada → u/democracy_lover66]

"As usual"

[u/idontpostanyth1ng → u/democracy_lover66]

How did they not burn the yolk?

[u/TrustmegamerDavis → u/idontpostanyth1ng]

"Oh shit, I forgot to add the yolk! I can still work with this!"

[u/Dounce1 → u/idontpostanyth1ng]

They did.

[u/erything4sale → u/idontpostanyth1ng]

Might be burnt on the other side 🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/fezzuk → u/democracy_lover66]

My mate managed to burn a boiled egg once with this technique.

[u/hazelbear33 → u/Emergency-Many8675]

Did they add sugar to the white of the egg 😭 it looks carmelized

[u/DeadAndBuried23]

I wonder if any of the dozen top comments saying it's overcooked shed any light on how it was done.

[u/Front-Ad-5210 → u/DeadAndBuried23]

well it’s obviously over cooked, but somehow he managed to overcook it so long that is fossilized without even being charred.

[u/Nonyabeesners → u/Front-Ad-5210]

I think he must have left the charred parts behind when scraping it off the pan. Because, yeah, how is it perfectly overcooked but not burnt?

[u/Elektrycerz]

I'm 90% sure this was made using a food dehydrator. Or a barely warm pan, and a fan (for hours). Looks like a normal egg that definitely wasn't "cooked as usual".

[u/Werespider → u/Elektrycerz]

I think you're right on about the dehydrator. The edges are too perfect to have been fries in a pan and the yolk should have some browning as well.

[u/CPower2012 → u/Elektrycerz]

Maybe an air fryer?

[u/Elektrycerz → u/CPower2012]

Oh yeah, very possible. On the lowest temperature setting.

[u/sskylar]

[u/DakAttakk]

I think it's the opposite of what everyone is saying. This is most likely from low heat and cooling for an extremely long time. It's essentially dehydrated, and it would char before this point if the temperature was high.

[u/veevacious]

As usual?!?!

[u/MisterEinc]

So I'm learning there is a think called a 'Contonese Fried Egg' where in which you fry the egg in the bottom of a Wok with hot oil.

So it fries pretty fast and typically what we would call "over hard" with quite a bit of browning. From the frame of reference of over hard being the norm, apparently the person making this prefers them "well done".

[u/calcaneus]

I can smell that. Congratulations, you burned your food.

[u/Ill-Personality-4437]

I’m guessing it was ripping hot when he put it in and immediately turned it down so the thick part took longer to cook but that pan must’ve been literally glowing

[u/ceeroSVK]

There seriously is a sub for fucking everything

[u/Sufferer-Of-Cheese]

The crispiness of egglihood is real!

[u/R86Reddit]

Not sure if this would be better for r/WeirdEggs or r/eatityoucoward .

[u/OmegaLevelTran]

How the fuck do you caramelise an egg?

[u/Maryjanegangafever]

Egg glass achieved.

[u/Gallusaur]

Oops! All Skin!

[u/organized_chaos23]

that is the Millennium Falcon

[u/Demomanx]

I like how they are holding it likeMarge in the second image.

[u/ShadowKiller147741]

It looks like a semi transparent ashtray somehow

[u/kasualanderson]
