  Why would you do that? Are there people who prefer the white? If so, they need to be my friends, we would be compatible.

    On a hard boiled egg? yes. HB yolks taste like butter chalk to me. I don’t mind yolks in things, but their individual flavor and texture in HB is lacking to me.

      You have boiled it too long then. Hard boiled doesn’t need to be taken literally as boiled until tough and rubbery. I aim for just past “jammy” yolks, the white completely set, the yolk fully cooked but only just. That is done by putting them in boiling water, 9 minutes or a little less, immediately cool by draining them filling the pot with ice.

        I’d certinly give that texture is configurable. But there’s something in that yolk that I don’t care to deal with without some serious masking. I don’t even like deviled eggs.

        For textbook perfect boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Wait 10 minutes since the eggs under cool water and peel immediately.

    I hate the yolk unless it’s mixed into something. If I am eating hard boiled eggs, I usually give the yolks to someone else.

    Are there people who don’t prefer the white??? I love boiled egg whites so much I could just have a bowl of them next to me if I wasn’t so lazy to boil and peel

      Ok, deal, I get the yolks, you get the whites. I’ll even boil and peal to get the yolks!

    Many reasons really. health reasons is the first one that comes to mind. Others don’t like the texture, while being fine with the runny yolk using it as a sauce in other situations. The reduced surface area also heightens the flavor of salt, so you end up getting less sal per egg overall

    In any case yeah. There are people who prefer the white part as well
