Everyones got their own way of cooking the perfect egg. Some people like it proper wobbly, with a really runny yolk, while others err on the side of basically hard boiled.
There are also oodles of tricks out there claiming to create the perfect egg for your toast, ramen or salad, from starting in already boiling water to using a spoon to slide off the shell in one smooth movement.
However, Gordon Ramsays latest egg trick has once again divided his fans on TikTok, and we have to admit, its not one weve ever seen before.
In a video showing Gordons fans how to make the perfect ramen, the Michelin-starred chef takes viewers through how to create a “yolky” egg.
He starts by spooning the eggs into gently simmering water and cooking them for six minutes. Then, he removes the eggs and puts them into a bowl of cold water. So far, so normal.
Then, he cracks the base and sits them back in the water. A little faffy, but still pretty normal.
Next, he adds in an additional step. Crack the base, BLOW into the crack, then place the egg back in the water. Blowing on the egg? Surely not.
The then peels away a little of the shell and blows on the egg again to help remove the rest of the shell.
“Mate!!! Youre putting spit in the eggs!!! As much as Im a fan… Wouldnt eat them if I see…,” says one particularly enraged commenter.
The main concern appeared to be the unhygienic nature of the method, however, some fans said it was unlikely this was the way Gordon prepared food in a professional kitchen.
One person said: “You guys act like he blows on eggs in his restaurants… Thats not the only way to open an egg are yall serious? Hes inside his home.”
