This egg paper has been making all the rounds, to the point I didn't want to talk about it because it wasn't novel enough for me. Basically these people discovered that if you use a periodic cooking method, you can cook the yolk and the white differently and it makes the most perfect egg in the world. You... Heat a pot of water to 100°C (boiling). Place an egg in boiling water for 2 minutes. Transfer the egg to 30°C water for 2 minutes. Repeat this cycle 8 times (total cooking time: 32 minutes). Crack open the egg and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy yolk and firm albumen. But I am breaking my silence to say: I don't care how good the eggs are. I am not spending 30 minutes to boil an egg. https://www.nature.com/articles/s44172-024-00334-w

Was literally thinking "that's an insane amount of time dedicated to an egg" and then you last line 😂😂😂 literally why do we commit so much time to studying eggs like this when we have sooo many ways to cook it already?

Probably lost on me a bit because I don't really like eggs I only tolerate them and the ADHD would get me and I'd forget what I was doing 4 minutes in
