Food Network offers tips on weird things to do with eggs

Food Network is at it again on Twitter. They recently posted a video of different ways to use eggs and…let’s just say, some of them are very bizarre. I don’t know who runs the Food Network Twitter account, but clearly, they have some time on their hands to create weird videos like this.

The first “tip” they provide is on how to cure egg yolks. Why?? Why did this ever need to be a thing? How do you do this? First, you mix one part sugar and one part salt together in a dish and then separate the yolk of the egg from the white.

Then gently place the yolk into the salt/sugar mixture and cover with any remaining salt/sugar mixture you have left. Let it sit in the fridge for about a week. Once that’s done, bake them in a 200-degree oven for 30 minutes. Then you can grate the cured egg yolk over things like asparagus. Why?? I don’t know, y’all.

The next suggestion from Food Network is actually something I’ve seen before: omelet in a bag. You first put a storage/ziplock bag into a measuring cup and roll the top of the bag down to make it easier to get things inside. Next, crack a couple of eggs into a ziplock bag, seal the bag and shake up the eggs.

Then add in any omelet toppings you want inside the bag and shake it again. Put the bag into a pot of simmering water until the eggs are set. This makes it easy to make multiple omelets at one time.

Next, they suggest sous viding an egg without the machine. Bring a pot of water to a boil and then add 3/4 cup of room temperature water to the pot. Put a whole egg (shell and all) gently into the pot, cover it, and cook it for 17 minutes. Scoop out the egg and crack it open onto your plate (or toast). Not gonna lie…it looks kind of gross in the video.

The final “tip” is another “what were they thinking?” idea: caramelized egg yolks. I like creme brulee as much as the next person, but this is not that. First, you start with a soft-boiled egg. Shell it and cut the egg in half. Sprinkled salt and sugar onto each half of the egg. Then…torch it! This will work best with a blow torch, but you could try it with your broiler (just make sure to watch it like a hawk). Besides giving you a semi-sweet egg, I don’t know why you would do this. Is there any way it tastes good?

If you try one of these, please tag us @guiltyeats on Twitter because I would love to know how it turned out and whether it tasted good to you.
