I've just boiled a couple of eggs, then used the water to make a cuppa. My wife thinks I'm disgusting, I think I'm very efficient.
What does STW think ??
Boiling eggs in tea is quite the thing in parts of China
Dirty.
But you are disgusting. Then again, at her best, your wife can be quite disgusting too.
Did you scrub the eggshells first?
This is a man that looks to save 1p by not boiling a cup of water, what do you reckon? 🙂
(EDIT: Intentional thread derailment to argue the cost of boiling a cup of water in a kettle)
How did the tea taste?
Eggcellent! 😆
my wife asking if tea tasted a bit eggy?
I had boiled eggs FOR my tea last night and they were very nice. Had soldiers made out of some posh sourdough bread. Crunchy.
That sounds like a chicken shit idea.
Yuk you mucky bugger....
Just had boiled eggs earlier, and for a change they were spot on 🙂
How hard is it to boil an egg......?
Dirty boy.
Those eggs came out of a Chickens bottom hole, the shells are never ever "clean".
You will be ill.
How hard is it to boil an egg......?
Really, really easy. I have a 100% perfect egg boiling record.
You're a sick man
we've just bought a new kettle and the tea tastes shit due to the kettle having not furred up yet. Would bits of chicken poo improve it or make it worse still?
Can you boil an egg in a kettle?

I envy your success sir.

Boiled eggs and sourdough toast for brekky today. Wonderful. Tea made from water boiled in the kettle.
I'll boil eggs and cook pasta at the same time. Not tea, but I live in a mega hard water area so a ten minute boil is no good.
Bloody love hard boiled eggs me!

I don't recommend poaching them.

The one bit of advice my father gave me when I left home was not to do this. You have to stand there for 3.5 mins with your figure on the button and if they crack on the element it makes a hell of a mess.
He didn't have any problems making tea with water that he had boiled kippers in though (not in the kettle).

Fun fact - boiling 1l of water, from tap temp uses near as dammit 1kWh of electricity so circa 12p depending on your tariff.
Is the OP dead yet?
Yes, he's egg-spired.
I think you need to buy yourself a new kettle, or perhaps its a new calculator?"Fun fact - boiling 1l of water, from tap temp uses near as dammit 1kWh of electricity so circa 12p depending on your tariff."
Boiled aggs and tea made me think about the last time I had breakfast in Aleppo with a customer. Boiled eggs, black sugary tea, Arabic bread, homous, stringy cheese with poppy seeds in it, honey, almonds, yoghurt.... all brought in from the nearby fields and farmers. Don't suppose that will ever happen again.

....if your kettle takes 20 mins to boil then yeah

My kettle is rated at 3kW and takes about two and a half minutes to boil a litre of water. 2.5/60*3*12 = 1.5p.
When I was on nights, I used to use the kettle from another guy on a different shift to do my eggs, he still doesn't know...
2 eggs in full cold kettle, boil and leave for 7 minutes. Perfecto!
