I love eggs, especially boiled eggs. I like them boiled and eaten with a little butter and salt. I like them made into egg salad, deviled eggs, and even Scotch eggs. I think these Bento egg moulds are super cool.
And now there are long eggs!
Long eggs are exactly what they sound like. It’s a tube of cooked egg white that is filled with the yolk, so the shape of the egg is like a long cylinder instead of – well, an egg. It’s a trend in Denmark, where there is a factory that makes thousands of these eggs every day. The eggs are served in restaurants, where they can be sliced into perfect rounds.
Can you make a long egg at home? Absolutely! There’s a gadget called a Rollie that you can use to make them. It’s nice because you don’t have to fuss with creating your own mould and boiling the eggs in water. But if you are a purist, you might want to cook the eggs in boiling water. It can be done, I promise!
How do they do it? It isn’t easy, but the principle is very simple. Check it out!
Very interesting, never knew this before!
nicest post and idea!!!!!!!!!!!! egg
It’s a cool idea, but I’m not sure I want to work that hard for a boiled egg 😛
Amazing, never knew this before!
I started seeing it some time ago in my YouTube feed. It looks cool, but it looks tricky to do. You have to get it just right!
i tried this, it was a total fail
It sounds to me like most people who did the DIY videos had to try several times before they got an egg that held together. Even then, it’s not always a pretty one.
That is new to me. So you can make a long egg at home? It sounds hard for me.
I think it is! But it’s neat that people are giving us instructions so we can try if we want to.
I saw videos about them a short time ago, @ladynightwavebrendamarie. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a restaurant here serving long eggs, but they do seem to have captured a lot of people’s imaginations. You should see all the different tricks people have for making them!
Very interesting, I have never heard of longs eggs before this article.
