donkpow Posted August 10, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 10, 2018 Not since I was a child. One of my aged relatives served, what we called, "poached eggs". Basically, not completely cooked eggs in the shell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted August 10, 2018 Share #5 Posted August 10, 2018 I have never used an egg cup. That soft boiled egg is getting peeled and then butchered atop my toast. Actually I rarely think to have soft boiled eggs, but I should, because runny yolks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_photog ★ Posted August 10, 2018 Share #6 Posted August 10, 2018 Never. we don't own any of those useless items. We do own a tv that hasn't been turned on in at least a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, not completely cooked eggs in the shell. We called those "soft-boiled", better when emptied into a cup with a little butter, salt, and pepper then slathered on toast.

Kzoo Posted August 10, 2018 Share #10 Posted August 10, 2018 I did as a kid. Not often but we had them. Dad liked soft boiled eggs from time to time. I haven't seen one in years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted August 10, 2018 Share #12 Posted August 10, 2018 I do not believe I have ever done, but then again, I like my fried eggs over hard and my boiled eggs hard boiled. I do not like gooey egg yolk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted August 10, 2018 Share #18 Posted August 10, 2018 No because I don't eat eggs. But I know someone with an extensive collection of egg cups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted August 10, 2018 Share #19 Posted August 10, 2018 Maybe it's a European thing. My parents had them and they were commin in Holland. The cups and the little egg spoons you ate them with. And it's a process too. Gently tap a circle around the egg with the little spoon, break up the upper area, remove shell leaving a perfect circle of shell that is removed. Salt & pepper & scoop out the egg with the little spoon & eat. Most Americans don't have the time or patience for that... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted August 11, 2018 Share #20 Posted August 11, 2018 We have several, including the topper to snip the top off. My wife loves soft boiled eggs, but we are onto soft poached eggs right now. Will have some tomorrow now because of this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted August 11, 2018 Share #21 Posted August 11, 2018 ...now that all the peppers and okra are in season, I've been making myself Huevos Rancheros about twice a week here. Slice up your onions, peppers (both hot and sweet), okra, a piece or two of bacon, and after cooking a while, add some summer squash. Cook them until squash is almost but not quite softened, then break a couple of eggs into the pan and cover with a lid, lowering the flame to as low as you can get it without it going out. The eggs poach in the steam and liquid from the vegetables. Do not overcook the yolks unless you are @jsharr , they should still be soft. Serve on a couple of heated soft corn tortillas, garnished with thin sliced red or green cabbage shavings and Cholula hot sauce. No egg cups required. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps children eats eggs, power to egg cups! No, we never had them at home. Nowhere in Asia...any of the cuisines have that tradition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted August 12, 2018 Share #27 Posted August 12, 2018 No egg cup use except once or twice in restaurants, where I felt clumsy and it seemed like it took more effort than if they simply put it on a plate. I recently saw ads on TV now for microwave containers in which to nuke hard boiled eggs outside of their shells - apparently removing the shell is a traumatic experience for the pitchmen- surely you can poach them as well. In any case, it does make interesting, cylinder-shaped deviled eggs! That reminded me that just before the problems arose that led to last year's shoulder operation, I got some of those microwavable bowls with built-in circular depressions to make poached eggs and one where you can add a little oil and allegedly make fried eggs. I had stored and forgotten them. Now that I'm actively cooking again, I'll report after I get around to using them. Some of the junk I bought: This Range Mate allegedly attracts the microwave heat to the grill bars in the bottom and blocks some of the microwaves reaching from above so the stuff is "grilled." A couple "Systema Microwave Collection" steamers, 3.2 L and 1.3 L, where eggs, etc. can be cooked with the steamer rack removed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted August 13, 2018 Share #34 Posted August 13, 2018 My grandparents had them. My grandpa liked soft boiled eggs. I would eat them with my grandpa. Grandma boiled them just right so the egg white was cooked and the yolk was runny. I hate runny egg white, looks like snot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
