How to halve an egg
How do you cut a hard boiled egg in half? You can’t use a wire cutter unless you are planning to slice them into pieces. We can’t use knife as well as it will ruin the egg yolk. So I use what my Mom has been using – thread. I bet many of you do the same right?
Quickly pull a thread through the egg and there you have it, the perfect hard boiled egg in half :)
Tah-dah! Nicely halved hard boiled egg (okay-lah, not as nice as my Mom’s but still nice lah!) Noticed that my egg yolk is so perfect without bruises? That is because once boiled I quickly dip them in cold water to prevent further residual cooking that will cause the egg yolk to bruise and form a bluish ring around it. I really dislike egg yolks with bluish ring. I love them to be as yellow as butter :)
Wow! Thanks for the tips! Really learned something useful today ^_^
You are welcome :)
Yummy! I really don’t care about this. All I want is to eat that egg! Yum!! : D
LoL! Bruised egg yolk is like panda with extra eye bag lah :P
aiyo, so ma-fan, use a knife la LOL
Use knife then the egg yolk will separate and hancus lu! Where got cute to eat dy then?
lol!! y dnt use knife? all gonna hancur is it? :P actually i love egg yolks more than white!
orh….now I know how the nasi lemak fellas do it. I usually take half boiled eggs…. you know…. coupled with kopi kaw and it’s heaven!!
half-boiled eggs rule!!!
I learn this frm the Nasi lemak seller haha. Actually I never knew this method even my mum doesn’t do it this way. I use the knife..the yolk didn’t break wor.
Ya saw the nasi lemak seller doing this. Haha saw an advertisement, using hair to cut the egg. Good choice if home out of thread *o*
my grandma uses thread too…. pretty useful and easy to cut the egg into half.
Something new to me…I thought that can be done with a knife.
normally cut with a knife then scoop the egg out from shells.
Yea! My mum cook the boiled egg also no bruises one! Damn nice. nomnomnomnomnom
Now only i know that thread can cut eggs into nice halves… :)
Never saw anybody in my house using thread to cut egg before. We all just use knife to cut, lol. As long as it’s edible egg, everybody’s happy lololol XD
Haven’t done this for a long time… Ok with the knife leh?
Thought can use the hair to cut as advertised hahaha
Nifty! I usually use a very sharp knife (but you gotta do it while the egg is still very hot or the yolk will spill out).
I think the bruise doesn’t effect the taste of the egg hor…hehe, so perfectionist one ar you :P
I know this method but never try it myself. haha! So lazy to find thread and cut the egg. Easy just use knife. Bruise or ruined egg yolk, I still eat. :p
Aiyooo…so lazy to go and look for a thread. Tali rafia maybe? hehe. Still want to stick to a knife..
Yeah, I have heard of people using thread but lazy me, I prefer to use knife coz it is so much convenient to grab it from the kitchen top rather than go thru my sewing kit, haha!
