After reading Barb's post on using leftover prime rib for steak and
eggs, I had to copy cat her this morning. Sure glad I did.

Got one of my cast iron fajita skillets smokin' hot.

Put a slice of the prime rib on hot dry skillet. After I got the
skillet smokin' hot I turned the burner off. The residual heat from
the burner and the skillet heated it just perfect. I turned it once.

Oh my. Supper tonight is left over black-eyed peas and ham. Tastes
great... but doesn't have the appeal of Prime Rib and Eggs!

Thanks George L. Dinner will be quick and easy tonight for me also.
I'm going to doctor up a can of Rosarita re-fried beans, and put them
on Los Pericos brand pre-made tostada shells.
Then on top of the beans I'll add some finely diced onion; and grate
some queso fresco on top of that, then I'll sprinkle on some Tapatio
hot sauce, then top it all with some chopped up lettuce.

Dang, I'm making myself hungry just talking about it.

_I_know how to cook a sunnyside up egg properly, and it
does_not_include solidifying_any_of the yolk or having a "jizzy"
white.

Bryan and I were having an IRL discussion about this recently. By
"jizzy whites" he means uncooked egg white. Unless you baste over the
top of a sunny side up egg with hot grease as it cooks, you are GONNA
have some raw (rare?) egg white on a sunny side up egg. Bryan's
adamant about not having any uncooked egg white, and we agreed that a
small amount of cooked yolk was a fair price to pay for no uncooked
egg white.

That's the way Bryan does 'em. I like mine over easy! I don't mind a
little cooked yolk.

Please describe for us "how to do them right" AND guarantee no raw
whites!

But their COLLECTIVE IQ is over 110! Really, I think they only posted
because they like using the word, "jizzy."

Koko, would you mind sharing your technique for cooking eggs sunny-side up?
In particular, how do you cook the white all the way through without cooking
the yolk?

Hee!

The part I'm enjoying most about this three-week vegan challenge thing
is the eating-more-veggies part, and whether or not I continue the vegan
thing after the 21st, I'm certainly going to try to keep this up. I had
been slacking on the vegetables, and I love them so much!

Today's salad was huge: romaine, shredded carrots, roasted red peppers,
sesame-ginger dressing, and a handful of pan-toasted cashews on top. SO
yummy.

Oh, that sounds so good.

I am trying to up my intake as well... I have some tofu here that is
going to either get panfried a la Jaden of Steamy Kitchen (I got her
new cookbook) and served with some broccoli with oyster sauce, or
either cooked a la Deborah Madison with some baby bok choy. Both
veggies will be cooked and eaten though.

And I have been going too wild in the markets, so I have a few things
to use up.. I have some eggplant I found in the bargain bin at
Berkeley Bowl, and if it is in decent shape still, I might make an
eggplant gratin from the Greens Cookbook: it is a main dish and has
white beans in it...an Italian flavored main dish.

I think it's a rather accurate descriptor, but I really should be
happy that a *woman of a certain age* is happy to have a mouthful of
jism.

You also conveniently missed the opportunity to say how you manage to
get 100% of the white cooked. Bob invited you to share your
technique. I'm sure others would benefit from your knowledge as
well. Saying that it "was all a joke" is like a cheat from a cheesy
soap opera where they get out of an unresolvable plot line by
revealing that it was all just a dream.

I also challenge the old farts, Lou and Terwilliger, who are so
lacking in creativity that they use words like "retard," to show us
all how to cook an egg sunny side up that has completely solidified
white.

Yeah, I know what you mean but I like 'em either way. Over the years I
have become pretty good with eggs. When we eat them here, I cook them. I
have found a technique to help conquer the problem of breaking the yolk
when turning over for sunny side over. Open the egg much slower into the
pan so it spreads out less and makes the white thicker, it turns easier
and there is less chance of breaking the yolk. I only turn them over for
about 10 seconds to get rid of the uncooked white, without cooking the
yolk, then I pull them right off and set them on the toast. Then it gets
mashed into one pasty pile and I scarf it down... I love eggs almost as
much as Cheeseburgers (my favorite food), sometimes I put a fried egg,
on my cheeseburger too!

I'm not sure where you got the idea that you need to be creative in order to
cook an egg sunny-side up with a completely solidified white. There's a
perfectly workable technique for it given in _Robuchon_.

As far as my own creativity is concerned, I challenge you to come up with
anything of your own which even remotely approaches the creativity of menus
I posted in the last year. Here are a few of them:

(Memorial Day)
Crab, J�cama, and Avocado Tower with Watermelon Jus
Tossed Salad
Rhubarb Sorbet
Barbecued Beef Ribs with Oakland-Style Barbecue Sauce
Jasmine Rice
Hoisin Beans
Dark Chocolate Microwave-Steamed Pudding
Eggplant-Cinnamon Ice Cream
Kahlua


(my birthday)
Salmon cured with mint, cucumber, and dill on sushi rice
Tempura squash blossoms
Smoked tomato soup with watercress and cheddar
Country-style ribs braised in foil with plums, haba�eros, allspice, and salt
Watermelon "pickled" with rice vinegar and shiso
Liquefied popcorn with honey-pepper foam
Apricot "anti-lava" bar and cinnamon hot chocolate


(Labor Day)
Sangr�a
Gazpacho
Squid Salad with Avocado
Grilled Ribeye Steak with Cabrales Butter
Zucchini with Garlic, Onions, and Oregano
Lemon-Berry Flan


(mid-September)
Grilled skewered shrimp with lime-molasses glaze
Grilled nectarines
Bok choy halved lengthwise, partially steamed, then grilled with a
butter-soy sauce
Jasmine rice
Pickled carrots and cauliflower with cloves


(Thanksgiving)
kale-sausage soup
pork roast with persimmons
pork jus
cauliflower puree
applesauce with allspice
winter squash with herbes de Provence
green salad with cider vinaigrette


(Christine's visit)
Soy-Cured Salmon with Asian Pear and Cilantro Creme Fraiche
Scallops Poached in Miso-Persimmon Broth
Romaine-Mandarin Salad
Seared Duck Breasts with Orange-Tea Sauce


Well? Where is YOUR culinary creativity? Or are you ready to slink away now,
abashed by your lack of ability?

I was refuting Bryan's "so lacking in creativity" idiocy by providing
concrete examples which demonstrate how superior I am to him in that arena.
All the food listed could have tasted horrible (though that was far from the
case), and I'd still be more creative than he is.

You need work on your insults. If two individuals IQs add up to 110,
then at least one of them has an IQ below 56, and that person would be
incapable of posting here.

I freely admit when I've misstepped in the kitchen. In the menus I listed,
there were some bombs, and I said as much when I wrote my reviews of the
meals. Specifically, the watermelon pickled in rice vinegar with shiso and
the scallops in miso-persimmon broth failed to measure up to the rest of the
items in their respective menus. But most of the stuff was FANTASTIC, and
completely original. The apricot "anti-lava" bar with cinnamon hot chocolate
and the pork roast with persimmons were particularly inspired.

I see you have failed to come up with any creative posts chronicling your
own culinary misadventures. Does that mean you are retracting your refuted
allegation that I lack creativity?

Watermelon pickled in rice vinegar is a repulsive idea to begin with.

You could spin a little series of pie chart looking thingies with
pointers to come up with those combinations. Instead I imagine that
you spin the analogous spinner in your brain.

You still didn't indicate how you could solidify the white that coats
the top of the yolk while leaving it transparent.

And he never will, because it's impossible. You've backed him (and
others) into a corner, and evoked their sympathetic nervous response
(fight or flight), thus he (they) are spewing nasty phlegm hoping
you'll be repulsed and go away.

I like eggs cooked almost any way from soft boiled to fried crispy...

In Brazil, eggs on hamburgers are a pretty common thing. I thought it

Of course I could have explained it. For that matter, I could have simply
quoted the section of the book where the method is described. But why do you
think you deserve the explanation? And what makes you think that I'll be
more inclined to give you the answer when you're acting like an even bigger
asshole than you were previously?

I tell you what: Apologize to koko for being such a shithead, and I'll think
about it. You've already admitted that you need help cooking sunny-side-up
eggs, and admitting your problem is the first step in overcoming it.

All this vitriol because you don't like the way people cook eggs? EGGS????

Eggs are important. Besides, I'm still waiting for a couple of my
elders to describe how they can either remove the layer of albumin
that covers the yolk, OR solidify said layer without rendering it
opaque, thus producing a "sunny-side-up" egg that would meet two
criteria. Firstly, that it have zero still liquid albumin, and
secondly, that it have that sunny appearance pictured in koko's photo:

This is exactly why I prefer over-easy. I don't mind a LITTLE heat-
denatured yolk, but just a little.

Gotta heat denature all that albuminous egg white. It's kinda like
rare chicken: GROSS! I mean, unless I'm starving, in which case get
out of my way and don't come between me and food. You may pull back a

Y'all still carrying on with that pissing contest? ;)

It's incredibly easy to cook the white without overcooking the yolk.
My method (and I have seen this written elsewhere too) is to put a
small pan lid over the egg. The created steam cooks the whites
perfectly...the whole egg is done without overcooking the yolk.

Now, wasn't that easy enough to describe? ;)

Capping, along with basting or flipping does result in 100% solidified
white, but does not leave the sunny appearance. When albumin cooks it
goes from slightly yellowish, somewhat transparent to white
translucent.

Well then I owe you an apology. I didn't realize that how eggs are
fried is so important to you that it leaves you incapable of discussing
things rationally without resorting to insulting people whose sole crime
seems to be that they don't share your passion for frying your idea of
the perfect egg. How dare they!!!!!!!!! Who do they think they are????

Surely now I can see that with a subject that you find to be of such
paramount importance that you were certainly justified to post something
like "Maybe I owe all *women of a certain age* an apology for implying
that they may have aged out of a desire to perform fellatio." Why,

Who called anyone a slut? Hey, are you suggesting that women who
enjoy fellatio are sluts? Sure looks that way. Now you've gone and

And I never confuse age with wisdom. Of course, when Bob writes
things like, "...Peter, this mess is revolting. Did you actually shit
in the pan, or does it just look and smell like it?," (in another

I will have to think of what to add to the grill.... I just got home,
and saw the pissing contest was still going on...and I need to go to
bed. I will see what sounds good. Maybe some of Koko's dates with
chorizo and bacon? Maybe we should get some watermelon too, and spit

A 1/2 teaspoon of water aids in the steaming. I do mine in a cast
iron pan and use a salad plate for a tight seal. Like you say, it's
not hard.

That works but it's cheating, steamed eggs ain't fried eggs.

Next you're dining at a breakfast joint try to observe the short order
cook... to fry eggs properly they are broken onto the griddle so that
they don't touch each other. When people fry eggs at home they
typically use a pan too small for the number of eggs so they are all
jammed together forcing the whites to stand up higher rather than
spread out to their full potential, making them less high so that they
cook through faster than the yolks. A proper sunny side has a
perfectly yellow yolk, not glazed over with cooked white. Ther is no
such thing as a medium or rare sunnyside, sunny sides are always
cooked rare/runny yolk... those who don't want a runny yolk ask for
over easy, over medium, over well. Also keep the temperature fairly
low, cooking eggs at too high a temperature makes them tough/rubbery,
and properly cooked no fried egg should have any browned portion
whatsoever.

I just posted a pic that proved I was perfectly capable of making a nice
sunny side up egg, and WITHOUT peeling any opaque layer off the yolk.

It just takes a skilled egg cook and a little patience. ;-)

John and I have known each other since high school. We've been
housemates three times, back in the 1970s. We used to canoe/kayak
together, though not so much for the past decade because his skill
level and daring far outmatch mine. We see each other socially
several times a year. When you've shared an apartment with a person,
you've generally gotten to know how he likes his eggs cooked.

we can conclude that there was either uncooked albumin on top the the

Do you not claim that an egg can have a bright yellow (again, as

Do you dispute any of the three premises?

Yes: I dispute the premise that the yolk sac of an egg is made of albumin.
The yolk sac is distinct from the white of the egg. They're two different
protein structures.

Don't get me wrong, I like beetroot in certain things...... but after many
years of 'burgers with the works'.... and too many 'accidents' that always
end up with a pink stain on the shirt, I decided to forgo the purple death
on the burgers :-)

Funny how things change...... I used to have pineapple on my burgers as
well... and sometimes. I'd even eat a pizza with some on.

Back in the 80's, I used to do BBQ'd pineapple rings to go with the
marinated steak and onions.

Now..... it's like the anti-christ!!


I can't remember the last bit of pineapple I've had.


> And I don't get the bacon and egg -

Each to their own :-)

There's nothing better after an early morning start, or driving all
night.... to pull into a roadside cafe and get a B&E burger with a coffee,
sit on the bonnet of the car with your mates and watch the sun come up :-)

The albumin has enough structural integrity that it forms a layer over
the yolk. If it did not have that, the albumin would spread out in
the pan like water.
I accept that some folks might find a small amount of uncooked white a
good trade-off for the appearance of sunny-side-up, and/or the
assurance that the solidification of the yolk is kept to a minimum.
Others find any un-solidified white to be unacceptable, and apparently
some of the former find the latter's preference difficult to
understand.

Try this: Separate the yolk and the white, then put the white into a pan.
Does the albumin "spread out in the pan like water"?

Very true, but only a microfilm adheres, too thin to be detectable by
even the most critical of those averse to uncooked whites, the vast
majority does indeed run off the yolk dome like water because of that
pesky thingie called "gravity", where it pools at the edge of the
yolk, closer to the heat, where it cooks ahead of the yolk. If
sunnysides are fried long enough for that microfilm of white atop the
yolk dome to go opaque then the yolk will be overcooked. Those who
want soft yolks but fully opaque whites should put a lid on it and
enjoy steamed eggs rather than fried, or simply ask for poached.

I just happen to have those 4 ingredients, but I would not add kosher
salt. The bacon and parmesan have plenty of salt.

In fact bacon and parmesan are kind of obscene together, saltwise! ;-)

The eggs look practically inedible, browned on the perimeter and
undercooked on top, and the bacon is burned. If that is an example of
gentleness and patience, I'd hate to see rough and rushed.

Well I made it! YUM!!! My cat was going crazy between the bacon and
the parmesan, OMG!

I cooked a serving of whole wheat linguine (forgot to save any of the
water though, just threw it down the drain out of habit) and cooked up
two strips of Schnucks thick cut bacon, crumbled it onto the drained
pasta, grated some parmesan on and some freshly ground black pepper,
mixed up, then cooked an egg over-easy (no raw whites for me!) and it
was great! Would have taken a pic but my camera's going wonky and my
food was getting cold with mne trying to make it work. :-(

Actually they are not if you balance them properly. Before hubby's
heart scare, I used to make carbonara using bacon and parmesan and it
wasn't over salted.

Speaking of bacon... can anyone tell me why low salt bacon is more
often than not saltier tasting (at the very least) than regular bacon?
