You should have pierced the yolk first
Knew the egg one was BS when the video showing it off showed the person just grabbing the glass with a bare hand.
I was cringing so hard at the eggsplosion one. I am so glad it happened inside the microwave.
People have been hurt by that, big dude! Hurt *bad*.
Ann Reardon over at How To Cook That has a whole series of debunking dangerous kitchen "hacks". I highly recommend you double check for a debunking video before attempting those sorts of hacks in the future.
Better way for microwaved egg: Mix the egg in a small bow with mayo, not water, just microwave it for 1-2 minutes.
Who knew the power of the Incredible Edible Egg was powerful enough to eggsplode a glass in a microwave. R.I.P. Chef Mike
You put seven pricks in the yolk before cooking in the microwave.
Thanks for the video
I have a microwave egg poacher they say to pop yolk first
For the poached egg in the tea strainer, the video you showed had the water already boiling before putting the egg in, I wonder if you had done that if the egg would have stayed in better and stuck a lot less to the strainer.
Glad to see you with Mrs. В 🙂 The microwave situation was really scary… RIP Mike
thecream in the freezer is basically ice cream you could use ? Sorry about the microwave
You need to use glass that can be heated, such as bakeware, in a microwave because of thermal shock.
You got lucky when the egg blew up in the microwave. 20+ years ago my sister tried to hard boiled an egg in the microwave not only did the egg explode it blew the door off the microwave and we had egg plastered all over the walls and ceiling.
Guess it's not microwave safe glass. Did you put vinegar in the water
Been years since I watched one of your vids, too long. You have come a long way, now I'm binge watching lol, great fun friendly content.
Do not ever microwave eggs! Never ever ever! That is the most dangerous thing you can do besides microwaving water.
rip to the Nuker….
Was here for the eggsplosion
egg and water, two of the things you should never microwave, and the hack is to microwave them together, the only thing missing here is to put them into a metal cup……..
You must have Mrs. B try out chicken and waffles some day, but if I may suggest: fried chicken makes it, especially if it has that nice crunch to it. Is it healthy? Haha, you're funny–no, it'll end up badly if you eat it all the time. But man, it is NICE, isn't it? As a once in a while treat, it's just lovely, seriously..
The first one they used a freeze dryer.
Instead of a sieve use a ladle does not leak through
