Weird eggs we bought
Our family bought some eggs recently, but those eggs were not the best batch we bought. We usually buy eggs in cardboard cartons at the supermarket, but it was sold out when we went there. There are still C- and D-grade eggs, but those are too small. So we go to the more expensive aisle and buy those eggs in plastic cartons. I’m assuming the plastic carton exudes a type of luxury, but eh we just bought enough to last our next visit. Shouldn’t be that bad, right?
Well apparently we tried frying those eggs, and it was very explosive. The pan and the spatula were dry, so the only thing left that could make the oil splash was the egg itself. Does it have a higher percentage of water compared to normal eggs? What do people even do with these eggs to not realise this? I could only guess.
Okay, so frying them is out of the question. How about making half-boiled eggs with them? Tried it; it was good, just that it’ll probably be too much preparing the eggs. You see, the eggs are stamped with ink, and my family doesn’t want that ink to seep into the eggs as it’s being boiled. We can see the cancer risk rise just by thinking about it. It’ll take a while to remove the ink, as it has been absorbed by the egg’s pore.
The only thing I can think of using these eggs in is soup. It’s not going to explode from hot oil, and there won’t be the fear of the ink seeping into the egg. There’s only one problem: my family doesn’t make soup regularly. Probably once every two months, but nothing more than that. Quite a shame; guess we just have to wash the eggs thoroughly to make them into half-boiled eggs.
