Has anyone tried it? I just read the following article and it's tempting to try...

Sometimes being a food fanatic and having a keen interest in all things food related is a curse. Love it or hate it i'm going to try it.

Agreed. But I don't love egg yolks anyway. I still want to know how it comes out!

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I won't have a chance to try this this weekend (or maybe i will... with one yolk)... So please post pictures soon!

 

[Homercidal]

I'd do it.

 

[Melana]

I'd do it.

Would you care to narrow that down a bit?
j/k.

I'm honestly thinking that you could get away with curing ONE yolk as a test batch. Most food that i try I run a test batch before i ramp up production.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

how long a cure I wonder? I think I'll do a 1:1 cure with the salt/sugar.

 

[Melana]

Four days.
Whisk salt and sugar in a medium bowl to combine. Evenly spread out half of salt mixture in an 8x8" glass baking dish. Using the back of a tablespoon, create 4 depressions in salt mixture, spacing evenly. Carefully place an egg yolk in each depression. Gently sprinkle remaining salt mixture over yolks and tightly wrap dish with plastic. Chill 4 days.

Looks like it's a 58/42 mix of salt/sugar.

Not sure about this...

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Its almost as good an idea conceptually as my okra mead.

 

[Melana]

Thanks. Now I know i shouldn't try it.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Geez... you make one measly liter of okra mead in a lifetime and no one takes you seriously ever again...

I am definitely going to try it.

Also, that video below for the brulee'd eggs looks good

Sounds interesting & quite possibly tasty. Sounds like it might be a bit salty though. I'd certainly taste it, depending on the reports from you & Creamy, I might actually try making it. The egg brulee looks really good too, that's something I can easily do & most likely will at some point; I have a different mission for eggs this weekend.
Regards, GF.

Ive always put leftover yolks in soy for a couple of days then have them on rice or toast. Sort of the same thing they will start to firm up longer you leave them in
