The recipe for your perfect morning eggs 🥚 ⚠️ 10 pages/32 mn/2 alternating cooking temperatures/8 cycles: looks like a very simplified PCR but still for well-organised cooks only 🧑‍🍳 let’s hope that will work with other eggs than those from Naples 🤓
A paper in Communications Engineering presents a new method to optimally cook both the yolk and white of a boiled chicken egg. "Periodic cooking” yields an evenly-cooked egg with a higher nutritional content than shell-on eggs cooked by conventional methods. https://go.nature.com/4hJWNzU 🧪
