Could it be the hack of the century?
I remember a time when I had re-discovered eggs and soldiers. That was a world before recommendation engines, and before influencers. I had just learned to make reproducible soft boiled eggs and had just started becoming carb conscious thereby wanting to stretch the slice of bread. I hope this isn’t another re-discovery of epic proportions.
A 60 minute egg
After watching David Chang on season one of The Mind of a Chef, we gave in to the temptation and bought ourselves a makeshift sous vide machine (DorkFood temperature controller and a slow cooker). And here is the first 60 minutes egg at 143F as per Lucky Peach’s Egg Chart.
60 minute sous vide egg at 143F, yolk is runny but slightly thickened
Served on a bed of butter sauteed home grown chard, chard prepared like nettles in nettles and egg recipe, slow roasted tomatoes prepared like in tomato raisins recipe, and shavings of parmigiano-reggiano.
The egg is to weep for, with happiness of course. However there is a real hint of sadness too, popularity of sous vide will change the meaning of “hard as 20 minute egg”.
