My parents boil eggs TO DEATH. They put the eggs in when the water is cold and leave the pot on the stove for like 30 minutes or more. The yolks get this weird light grey color around the outsides and they're so dry I end up choking on the things lol If you made an egg boiling tutorial, I would show it to my parents lol
Mone Moore the only thing they have to change is to turn off the hotplate as soon as previously cold water with eggs boils, move it onto a flat non-metal surface and leave it all covered for 30 minutes without peeking. You'll have some good hard boiled eggs without any overcooking. Since your parents already "waste" 30 minutes, this would be the exact correction for them without any time adjustment needed.
This is what a cooking show would look like if Dora the explorer hosted it. ''Any idea what this might be?'' ''Any idea what these might be for?'' '' Yes Dora,looks like a peeler to me.'' ''That's correct,it's a spatula!''
I use a piece of decorative shelf liner hanging on my oven handle. Everything I own is black, grey, and metal so I bought a roll of black shelf liner and had some excess, and one day I discovered it works incredibly well for opening jars, twisting stuck bulbs without breaking them... etc. They make a ton of colors, patterns and styles. I'm sure you could find a roll that matches your stuff pretty easily. I just trimmed my extra to be a perfect rectangle, stitched some black ribbon around the edge and put a leather loop on it.. I never ended up using the loop though lol I'm just a crafty dude and can't help going waaaay overboard on everything I do ;P haha Anyway, it's s cool tip. Try it out?
Great to know. I use a silicone circle. It's about 6" diameter & flat. I got one from a health fair & one from a grocery give away. I love them. I've seen people use thin disposable gloves too. They don't even put them on, just use the outside. I've seen success with vinyl, silicone, nitrile & latex. I think the key is: anything that grips & holds helps.

+Tenzin Teselha I buy my Furikake at my local Asian market- you can get pretty big canisters of them for $2.99 in all sorts of flavours. The packages she was holding up are small, individuals packets and those are more expensive, usually on ebay or amazon. I LIVE on furikake, it totally changed rice for me, I love it!! I also love sweet soy sauce!! I put it on everything :)
Not to sound like a psychopath, but it would probably work for getting fur off of an animal as well.. lol My dog has super dense fur and her brush loads up instantly, so we vacuum her but she clogs the vacuum up! We've tried special expensive brushes, trimmings... everything. We live in FL so we don't want her to be hot an miserable! She's so damn fluffy though, I might honestly try thise gloves. They look like they'd work, depending on how sticky they are...
@@thelegendofzoey Hunh. Do they? I'm gonna look into that, I actually considered buying these ones to try out ! I'll see if I can find the real dealio. Thanks! :]
In the summer our family picks and husks hundreds of dozens of corn. The gloves would be perfect to get all the "silk" off of the corn. I hate picking it off one piece at a time.
emmymadeinjapan please do the boiling egg episode. i heat the water with the eggs.. i tried to put cold eggs in hot water and my eggs cracked .. i love hard boiled eggs but i cant make them lol
Xeidasx it's pretty simple. First bring the water to a rolling boil, and done people say add a splash of vinegar to keep the eggs from cracking. Carefully lower the eggs into the pot and boil for 5-10 minutes. For easier peeling dump the eggs in cold ice water straight after they are done

We have the "PiepEi" (direct translation = peep egg) which is a plastic egg which you place in cold water with your real eggs and then bring to a boil. The PiepEi will start beeping different songs when the eggs are soft/medium/hard, so far it never disappointed me :) You can get several editions that have classical music, rock songs, etc, often with (bad) egg-related puns in the titels.
I don't understand why you're peeling a soft boiled egg... Do Americans not have boiled egg and soldiers? Also I'm surprised by how different American vs UK egg-states are: To me theyre are all spot on!
Vedder Palmer American here. I'd never heard of boiled egg and soldiers or even seen an egg cup until I married my English husband. I don't even know anyone who eats soft boiled eggs here. I definitely think such things are uncommon here.
Alyxandria Getliff I find that strangely sad, given it was such a staple during my childhood. I wonder why it is- possibly related to the increased likelihood of getting salmonella? Or just one of those things without a particular reason. Do you eat them now and, if you have tried it, was the different texture off-putting?
Vedder Palmer Now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if the fear of salmonella is why we don't eat soft eggs. I think Americans are generally very conscious of salmonella, more so than any friends I have from outside the States. I personally have never tried a soft boiled egg, I generally just don't like eggs much to begin with. It looks very... slimy though, so I'm not to eager to try it anyways! 😬
Most salmonella are affected from the outer shell of the egg, meaning the some of the chicken poop got into the egg lol 😅 These days, eggs are process to be clean and somewhat safe compare to the old days 😊
Emmy when you brought up the boiling egg tutorial, I think it would be cool if you did sort of a back to basics series where you show your techniques for simpler things :)) loved this vid by the way!
ChaoticShelly The first one was definitely undercooked even for the soft boiled state. the white wasn't set. May be there's a different way of cooking. Like boiling the water and then putting in eggs and timer
"Omelets" that I was once again too impatient for and ended up scrambling. :D I'd like to see your hard-boiled egg method. I've been trying out different ones this past year, but still don't have a favorite.
***** They're doing pretty good. Got my kitties their own heater for this cold weather. Ricky keeps trying to use the heater to make chicken fingers on it tho. Thanks for asking and thanks for the tip.
+lepetitgarçonsinsocks That doesn't help at all, it doesn't take into consideration the different sizes of eggs, the temp of the eggs, the temp of the water, how you want your eggs, how fresh the eggs are and other things.
The best method I've found for making perfectly cooked and peel-able eggs (even with new eggs) is to steam them rather than boil them. Bring the water to a boil first, add the eggs to the steamer, cover and turn down to low (about 3 on the stove dial) and cook 15 minutes for hardboiled (no longer or they will overcook!) or 13-14ish minutes for a softer yolk. I then transfer mine to a bowl with ice water and let sit until cool.
+emmymadeinjapan The egg shell sticking has to do with how fresh your eggs and not how you cook them. If the eggs are fresh they will stick, that is why you need to use eggs that are more than a week old at least. So buy fresh eggs for poaching, frying and so on and leave some older eggs for boiling.
All above is true. As for me I just go along with sticky eggs :) There is also, I found, a small trouble with boiling water if you wish your eggs to remain without any fractures in the shell (like when in Poland you want at least a dozen whole ones to do "pisanki" - which is basically painting them or drawing on them whatever you like (this years kids in my family went with lots of black crayon ;) ), a kind of thing you do here for Easter) there is a better chance they will crack due to temperature diffrence. Though with normal eggs it doesn't really matter :)
My exgf does makeup professionally, and she has a special spray and mat to clean her good brushes, but her cheap ones she would shower with... lmao She would take them into the shower, and while her hair conditioner sat for a few she would clean them with baby shampoo, then hang them upside down to dry and then like... I dunno.. _massage_ them or something? Idk.. it was wierd as hell. Maybe she was shaping them or something, idk.. it was her relaxing private time so I never asked. I'd just watch her work sometimes because it was cute watching her do tedious work. Anyway, if you have a bunch of brushes and they aren't professional grade... just shower with them lol use baby shampoo or dawn soap like she did, and hang them upside down. Even I know you don't want water to sit in the metal bit around the brushy bits. If you have expensive ones... buy the spray. It's cheap, I've actually bought it for her a few times before. The mat is only a few bucks and the spray is like 5 bucks too. Cheap stuff. You don't want to get acne or infections from using dirty brushes. Everyone has Staph bacteria in their nose and streptococcus in their pores... spread that shit around and.... very bad. Haha Hope this helps. Dating a makeup doer girl had it's benefits if I can use some of what I learned to help others. Especially about being clean, you'd be surprised how often people get infections or pink eye from makeup brushes. They sit in your bathroom, you go poop, you flush, poop particles land on your stuff, you wipe poop onto your face and into your eyes. Infection. Always store your makeup outside of the bathroom and sanitize your stuff regularly with 91% Iso Alcohol (you can buy it at the dollar tree and put it in a spritz bottle) to kill germs. Good luck! Lol
Then your pan's too hot. Have the pan at a medium heat, use half butter and half olive oil (though it doesn't matter much) and slide the eggs in. Put a lid on the skillet for the last 30 seconds to finish off the top of the egg before the 'white' burns.
The best way is to use a small pan and poor in a cm of good olive oil and then put in on the smallest heat possible, put in the eggs and use a spoon to put the olive oil over the white. This way you are poaching them instead of frying them, put some salt only after they are done cooking.
The rice ball thing is too cute!!!!! Also Emmy I have a question about the seasoning that you put on the rice balls. What is it exactly? Like an herb mix? Is that something typical of Japan to add a seasoning mix like that to rice? Hope you are having a great 2017 so far! xo
Ropodog I recently found the same rice ball and rice roll (mini sushi roll) shakers on ebay but I haven't used them yet! Furikake is usually used to make plain rice taste better. The seasonings are quite nice and there are also coloured seasonings to make rice pink, yellow etc!
Thing is though, the eggs Emmy are using are huge! Maybe the timer will work better with smaller-sized eggs, assuming the Japanese have the same kind of hens as we do here in South East Asia
I actually have one of those egg "timer" things, they are sold in American stores too. I don't use them to time hard boiled eggs, but rather soft and medium eggs which are trickier. And you learn by trial and error where on the timer those donenesses are for you. I like it for that purpose. The rice baller looks useful too. I'll have to check my Daiso. I see a fun Japanese shopping trip in my future.
That rice ball shaker was cool. Didn't think it would work. Nice surprise. And yeah, those eggs seemed less of a Soft/Medium/Hard and more a Poached/Soft/Medium, to me.
RubyLovesRocket There's also a mini maki (mini/thin sushi) rice roll shaker! You literally shake the nori seaweed into the shaker to wrap the rice! There's videos on youtube for tutorials, try ochikeron's channel :) I have both shakers but I need to buy the rice, furikake seasonings and sushi fillings to use them!
I got an egg time from the container store a few months back and I love it! It's a different brand, so I'm not sure if it works any "better" than the one you got. I've always had issues timing my eggs just right for how i like them/them not even being cooked solid enough to peel! I'm also not the best at cooking, so it's probably more that than anything... :P
Sari Masu I have a video on my channel called encapsulated glitter nails. Mind you I just started & don't have the best lighting. But I'll have a new nail tutorial up tmrw!
Soft boiled eggs are not actually meant to be peeled. They are served in an egg cup, and the top is sort of sliced off. The egg is eaten right out of the shell.
The eggs might be because of larger American eggs perhaps? Because I'm from Jamaica and typically when I'm there I like a 7 minute egg, but in America I usually go for 8-9 minutes. The size difference isn't massive, but it's enough to make a difference in cooking I guess. Perhaps try it again with smaller eggs? Because most people in the US buy Large or XL eggs most of the time. I can't even think of a store that sells smaller than Large Grade A eggs.... hmm..
I have a friend who's daughter won't eat rice unless it is in balls. I thought she was crazy to do that instead of saying 'just eat your rice'. I'm a mean mommy. :(
I'm a kitchen gadget lover. Just found your very interesting videos and I will carry on watching you. With regards to the rubber gloves that bombed, I think they would make great dish washing equipment. You wouuldn't have to use a dish rag, the bumps on the gloves would remove any crud on the dishes or pots and pans. If you still have the gloves, will you try this? I've seen ads for gloves with the bumbs on them priced at $29.99!!!
Sarah Moorhead - You toast slices of bread, butter them, then cut them in to strips (like an inch and a half wide). We call those buttered strips soldiers 😀 Then you dip those in to your soft boiled egg. You'll need an egg cup to sit the egg in 😉 Best breakfast EVER. My kids love it!
In Australia, and I think the UK, soft boiled eggs would be exactly (eggsactly?) like how it turned out in this video. We have egg cups which hold them. You can cut the "top" off and dip in toast "soldiers" which is basically toast cut into strips.
I was raised by parents who didn’t know how to cook. These videos are so helpful and informative. I love the way she describes things and uses scientific facts. Keep making these amazing videos !!
You're SO PRETTY!!!! I'm actually quite surprised that you be got children....you look so young!!! My dad is a research chemist and his friend invented the egg timer!! The Japanese ones are SO MUCH CUTER than the American egg timers.....the American ones are just plain red!!!
Hi. I just want to say ,you rock. You have a wonderful attitude, funny, very appealing to your audience.. Some of the gadgets are neat ,thank you for taking the time to show us what and how they work. Peace.
Love your videos Emmy. Can't understand why anyone clicks dislike on your videos. That being said, no one peels soft boiled eggs. They are supposed to be placed in an egg holder, then cut or cracked on the top of the shell and eaten with a spoon.
I think it's better for people who eat a lot of rice? So you can make bigger batches. Also, maybe if you only had two burners on the stove and they were both taken up, you could use the rice cooker? So better for apartments, maybe.
You can use the egg timer by letting the water boil and add eggs and timer, and the result will be better. The soft egg will actually be soft 😊 I have tried both ways with my egg timer and there was a big difference 🙂
Believe it or not a lot of people have Trouble making hard boiled eggs my sister tried once in her lifetime literally blew the Eggs Up lol they were scattered everywhere
The chop stick gadget would be really useful for dyspractic people. My boyfriend will never learn how to use chopsticks because he has dyspraxia and doesn't have very good muscle memory. With a gadget like that, he could use chopsticks!
SiLi in Norway There are many other types of chopsticks with a fused ending or a contraption that looks like the spring mechanism of a clothes peg (most of these are considered to be for children or training chopsticks) I have about four pairs of chopsticks with those silicone helpers, two men/boy figures and two Hello Kitty figures! They help if you get sore hands from typing or writing.
@@lmaree200886 I saw a TH-cam about cutting holes in a bottle cap to use like this, less obvious if you're an adult needing help. The little figure is cute for kids though.
I absolutely adore you and always relax watching your show. Your upbeat attitude and calm demeanor is soothing. This makes content so much more enjoyable, easier to digest and I find myself watching lots of videos consecutively. Thanks Emmy 💕
Live the Rice ball maker!!!!!!! LOL the Chopstick trainer is good for ADULTS HAHAHAHAHA Also like the Egg timer, funny!!!!!!! I put my eggs in cold water turn up to high & set timer 15mins & turn off heat n cover 15mins & DONE LOL💚💙💜💝💚💙💜💝💚💙💜💝💚💙💜💝💚💙💜💛❤💛❤💛❤💛❤💛❤💛❤
Emmy.. I absolutely Adore your Videos!! For my Birthday 12-31 I received "Poppin' Cookin" as a gift and that is a direct result of your Vids lol. I so love how you are not just educated on what you do but very well informed and down to earth!!! Hope your boys are running rapid and that you are having fun with them...... this is the only time that they will be this age (and honestly I am sooooo jelly lol) :) Oh!! And I found you thru Shinichi btw... Tabieats :)
My sister went to Japan in high school... and her entire host family was shocked she could use chopsticks with no instruction. As it happened, my family had been eating chinese and thai food for years and it had the side-effect of all of us getting really good at using chopsticks.
The mandoline I picked up at Daiso works surprisingly well! I also love it for little prep dishes and all my dishwashing supplies. Very specific brushes and sponges that are cheap enough to replace often.
Oh fooey. I saw the 100 and ignored the yen symbol and thought I was going to get to see Emmy demo 100 different gadgets. I'm definitely left wanting to see more, that was fun.
The egg timer is the only product I've seen before and actually used! I boild my eggs the same way you do, bring the water to a boil first, then add the eggs. Every other person I know put the eggs in first! That's always been weird to me.
I'd love to see how to boil an egg with cool tips - I already learned something new in this video about how to prevent the shell from sticking by popping the egg into boiling water instead of into gradually heated cold water. I'd love to learn more great tips like that! :)
PLEASE make the egg boiling video! I've come to realise that while I'm good at baking, I have no idea how to cook and boiling the perfect egg is a complete mystery to me XD
I hate kitchen gadgets - but I love Emmy. I just wish that sometimes she was not so sweet. For potato peelings, you do not need a piece of plastic to transfer them to the compost when hands work just fine. You could recycle for 10,000 years and that stupid piece of useless plastic will still be there. PLEASE do not buy anymore plastic crap. Peel your potatoes (I never do), and take the skins in your hand. Walk outside. Find dirt. Drop peelings on dirt.
Daiso here in San Diego is $1.50 unless listed otherwise :) Those "peeler gloves" are horrible LOL I bought them also and I ended up tossing them. Couldn't peel anything with them, didn't even work to remove the dirty off of foods. The only other terrible thing I've gotten there is my iphone charger cord. It worked for like 3 days and I was like "omg this is great!" but then it stopped, oh well.
In most Asian countries like Malaysia soft boiled eggs are just like that. They are liquidy but already white no longer clear. Normally we put some soy sauce and pepper in soft boiled eggs and dip butter and sangkaya(coconut and egg jam) toast in it. But I don't like soft boiled eggs anymore cause of the texture. I used to have it everyday for breakfast before going to kindergarten
For superior hard-boiled eggs, steam them in a rice steamer with the eggs' wider end down. A grid insert or a basket with holes in it makes that possible. After steaming for 20 minutes, submerge the eggs in ice water for approx. one minute. Remove eggs from the ice water. Gently tap the wide end to crack the shell. Submerge the cracked eggs again in the ice water for approx. one minute. Remove eggs; tap all around the eggs' sides, then roll the sides of the eggs on the counter to further crack the shells. Under cool running water, the shells will slide off the perfectly hard-boiled eggs. Steaming time may vary due to differences in rice steamers, the size of the eggs, and the quantity of eggs steamed. It works beautifully for me every single time. No more over-cooked and ragged looking hard-boiled eggs!!!
Emmy could you do an egg video? How to boil perfectly? How to poach? How to fry and flip without breaking yolk? I've had an "egg-struggle" my whole life and would love your techniques.
Emmy what if you put the timer in when you put your cold eggs in, I wonder if that would make a difference
5 ปีที่แล้ว
I am incapable of using chopsticks, so this "chopstick friend" might be useful to me. I could invest a lot of time and effort into practising using chopsticks until I master it, however, being a Westerner, chopsticks are very situational, and most of the times inefficient for the type of food I tend to eat, so I see no point. I think I'll go the easy route and try to find that gadget on eBay :D

I bet those gloves would also be great for opening jars and whatnot.
I use a piece of decorative shelf liner hanging on my oven handle.

They make a ton of colors, patterns and styles. I'm sure you could find a roll that matches your stuff pretty easily. I just trimmed my extra to be a perfect rectangle, stitched some black ribbon around the edge and put a leather loop on it.. I never ended up using the loop though lol I'm just a crafty dude and can't help going waaaay overboard on everything I do ;P haha

maybe you can make this into a video Emmy! :) Would be interesting to see!
+emmymadeinjapan The egg shell sticking has to do with how fresh your eggs and not how you cook them. If the eggs are fresh they will stick, that is why you need to use eggs that are more than a week old at least. So buy fresh eggs for poaching, frying and so on and leave some older eggs for boiling.
All above is true. As for me I just go along with sticky eggs :)
There is also, I found, a small trouble with boiling water if you wish your eggs to remain without any fractures in the shell (like when in Poland you want at least a dozen whole ones to do "pisanki" - which is basically painting them or drawing on them whatever you like (this years kids in my family went with lots of black crayon ;) ), a kind of thing you do here for Easter) there is a better chance they will crack due to temperature diffrence. Though with normal eggs it doesn't really matter :)
Those gloves would be great for cleaning makeup brushes!
With the texture on the gloves the way it is it would rip the hairs right out of the brush.
miss lilkev right. I bought one to clean my makeup brushes.
@@Dea_Ex_Machina they make gloves like this for cleaning brushes....it doesn't rip hairs out.
Hate to be gross but they would do great on sinks and tubs and...stuff. 🤢
My exgf does makeup professionally, and she has a special spray and mat to clean her good brushes, but her cheap ones she would shower with... lmao
She would take them into the shower, and while her hair conditioner sat for a few she would clean them with baby shampoo, then hang them upside down to dry and then like... I dunno.. _massage_ them or something? Idk.. it was wierd as hell. Maybe she was shaping them or something, idk.. it was her relaxing private time so I never asked. I'd just watch her work sometimes because it was cute watching her do tedious work.
Anyway, if you have a bunch of brushes and they aren't professional grade... just shower with them lol use baby shampoo or dawn soap like she did, and hang them upside down. Even I know you don't want water to sit in the metal bit around the brushy bits. If you have expensive ones... buy the spray. It's cheap, I've actually bought it for her a few times before. The mat is only a few bucks and the spray is like 5 bucks too. Cheap stuff.
You don't want to get acne or infections from using dirty brushes. Everyone has Staph bacteria in their nose and streptococcus in their pores... spread that shit around and.... very bad. Haha
Hope this helps.
Dating a makeup doer girl had it's benefits if I can use some of what I learned to help others. Especially about being clean, you'd be surprised how often people get infections or pink eye from makeup brushes. They sit in your bathroom, you go poop, you flush, poop particles land on your stuff, you wipe poop onto your face and into your eyes. Infection.
Always store your makeup outside of the bathroom and sanitize your stuff regularly with 91% Iso Alcohol (you can buy it at the dollar tree and put it in a spritz bottle) to kill germs.
Good luck! Lol
I've always peeled eggs under running water, makes everything so much easier.
That rice baller was great. I love Furikake on my rice. 🌻
Make sure that the furikake is not made in communist china. Read the labels closely even if it is sold by the Japanese company.
I'd love to see how you prepare sunny-side up eggs. Mine always end up overcooked and too crispy.
Me too!
Then your pan's too hot. Have the pan at a medium heat, use half butter and half olive oil (though it doesn't matter much) and slide the eggs in. Put a lid on the skillet for the last 30 seconds to finish off the top of the egg before the 'white' burns.
Alan Mac Alternatively you can base the top of the egg with the melted butter to cook it.
thats what i do! put pan lid on medium heat, when whites are cooked i get a spoon and base the yolk with the oil till its a pale pink
The best way is to use a small pan and poor in a cm of good olive oil and then put in on the smallest heat possible, put in the eggs and use a spoon to put the olive oil over the white. This way you are poaching them instead of frying them, put some salt only after they are done cooking.
your videos are so organized and just overall great😊👍 *congratulations* 🎁🎉🎊
The rice ball thing is too cute!!!!! Also Emmy I have a question about the seasoning that you put on the rice balls. What is it exactly? Like an herb mix? Is that something typical of Japan to add a seasoning mix like that to rice? Hope you are having a great 2017 so far! xo
Ropodog tru
Ropodog I recently found the same rice ball and rice roll (mini sushi roll) shakers on ebay but I haven't used them yet! Furikake is usually used to make plain rice taste better. The seasonings are quite nice and there are also coloured seasonings to make rice pink, yellow etc!
Thank you so much for the info!! That is too cool!! I will need to look and see if I can find some I really want to try it out!
Ropodog The seasoning usually contains nori, sesame seeds, and some kind of dried fish. Another popular one is ume I think. :)
Amy He That's correct! There's also one with dried Egg (Tamago) and even tiny dried fish!
Thing is though, the eggs Emmy are using are huge! Maybe the timer will work better with smaller-sized eggs, assuming the Japanese have the same kind of hens as we do here in South East Asia
The rice ball shaper!!!
My daisuki!!!
the rilakkuma seasoning was so cute oh my god
I would like to see a video about how to boil eggs properly.
I fail miserably at it even though I follow instructions for it.
I wanna boil the video dedicated to boiling an egg if you have time.
I actually have one of those egg "timer" things, they are sold in American stores too. I don't use them to time hard boiled eggs, but rather soft and medium eggs which are trickier. And you learn by trial and error where on the timer those donenesses are for you. I like it for that purpose.
The rice baller looks useful too. I'll have to check my Daiso. I see a fun Japanese shopping trip in my future.
That rice ball shaker was cool. Didn't think it would work. Nice surprise. And yeah, those eggs seemed less of a Soft/Medium/Hard and more a Poached/Soft/Medium, to me.
RubyLovesRocket There's also a mini maki (mini/thin sushi) rice roll shaker! You literally shake the nori seaweed into the shaker to wrap the rice! There's videos on youtube for tutorials, try ochikeron's channel :) I have both shakers but I need to buy the rice, furikake seasonings and sushi fillings to use them!
I thought the peeler gloves were potato cleaning gloves for a second :P
I actually would really like to see an egg tutorial, like all types soft ,medium,hard, it would be cool to learn!
The egg cook video is not silly, I think it's going to get you a lot of traffic over time.
That rice ball maker is possible to be used for meatballs also?
I got an egg time from the container store a few months back and I love it! It's a different brand, so I'm not sure if it works any "better" than the one you got. I've always had issues timing my eggs just right for how i like them/them not even being cooked solid enough to peel! I'm also not the best at cooking, so it's probably more that than anything... :P
I watched videos of peoole showing inside of Daiso and I need it in my life! It looks amazing!
Sari Masu *people*
Sari Masu aww thanks! I just started my channel so I only have one nail tutorial up at the moment but I appreciate it. 😊🤗
Sari Masu I have a video on my channel called encapsulated glitter nails. Mind you I just started & don't have the best lighting. But I'll have a new nail tutorial up tmrw!
I like your videos. Good luck with your channel! :)
Oh you do need it in your life its amazing ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Soft boiled eggs are not actually meant to be peeled. They are served in an egg cup, and the top is sort of sliced off. The egg is eaten right out of the shell.
Judy Gerstner rx:&);
I thought the rice ball maker was to shape boiled eggs for bento. It's soo cute!
The eggs might be because of larger American eggs perhaps?
Because I'm from Jamaica and typically when I'm there I like a 7 minute egg, but in America I usually go for 8-9 minutes. The size difference isn't massive, but it's enough to make a difference in cooking I guess.
Perhaps try it again with smaller eggs? Because most people in the US buy Large or XL eggs most of the time. I can't even think of a store that sells smaller than Large Grade A eggs.... hmm..
I love your joy when you saw that the rice ball gadget worked nicely :)
I have a friend who's daughter won't eat rice unless it is in balls. I thought she was crazy to do that instead of saying 'just eat your rice'. I'm a mean mommy. :(
I'm a kitchen gadget lover. Just found your very interesting videos and I will carry on watching you. With regards to the rubber gloves that bombed, I think they would make great dish washing equipment. You wouuldn't have to use a dish rag, the bumps on the gloves would remove any crud on the dishes or pots and pans. If you still have the gloves, will you try this? I've seen ads for gloves with the bumbs on them priced at $29.99!!!
You don't peel a soft boiled egg Emmy. You put it in an egg cup, cut the lid off and dip buttered soldiers in it 😀 Hmmmmmmmmm!
+Gina I'm American, what's a buttered soldier?
Sarah Moorhead - You toast slices of bread, butter them, then cut them in to strips (like an inch and a half wide). We call those buttered strips soldiers 😀 Then you dip those in to your soft boiled egg. You'll need an egg cup to sit the egg in 😉 Best breakfast EVER. My kids love it!
Gina Sounds delicious!! In Singapore we serve it in a bowl alongside some soy sauce and black pepper
In Australia, and I think the UK, soft boiled eggs would be exactly (eggsactly?) like how it turned out in this video. We have egg cups which hold them. You can cut the "top" off and dip in toast "soldiers" which is basically toast cut into strips.
try the gloves with cooked vegetables, should work
I was raised by parents who didn’t know how to cook. These videos are so helpful and informative. I love the way she describes things and uses scientific facts. Keep making these amazing videos !!
You're SO PRETTY!!!! I'm actually quite surprised that you be got children....you look so young!!!
My dad is a research chemist and his friend invented the egg timer!! The Japanese ones are SO MUCH CUTER than the American egg timers.....the American ones are just plain red!!!
OncNurseSpursSoccerChick Clayton Emmy is in her mid 30's, it must be her Chinese heritage that keeps her looking so lovely!
Hi.
I just want to say ,you rock.
You have a wonderful attitude, funny, very appealing to your audience..
Some of the gadgets are neat ,thank you for taking the time to show us what and how they work.
Peace.
I actually love going to Daiso shop. I buy gadgets mostly that i can use. True not all the stuff is great but at least its something 😆
Love your videos Emmy. Can't understand why anyone clicks dislike on your videos. That being said, no one peels soft boiled eggs. They are supposed to be placed in an egg holder, then cut or cracked on the top of the shell and eaten with a spoon.
Emmy should get an award
Elijah Destroyer should she get an Emmy? XD
If you search Alton Brown and boiled eggs, he has the best method for boiling eggs. You will not be disappointed!
Why do you use a rice cooker. It seems to me like a waste of cabinet space because it is just as easy to use a pot
Jake Mullen have you ever used a rice cooker vs a pot? it's so much better imo, but to each their own.
I think it's better for people who eat a lot of rice? So you can make bigger batches. Also, maybe if you only had two burners on the stove and they were both taken up, you could use the rice cooker? So better for apartments, maybe.
Fair enough
Rice cooker keeps the rice warm so any time you need rice it's there!
As an Asian, we must have a rice cooker. If you don't have one, you're not truly an Asian basically 😅
I don’t peel potatoes so those gloves would be great for cleaning them really well👍
You can use the egg timer by letting the water boil and add eggs and timer, and the result will be better. The soft egg will actually be soft 😊 I have tried both ways with my egg timer and there was a big difference 🙂
I usually dont boil eggs anymore. I steam them Chinese style and they are just delicious and soft.
Use that peel catcher to make cheese slices, I imagine it would be good for shaved Parmesan.
Believe it or not a lot of people have Trouble making hard boiled eggs my sister tried once in her lifetime literally blew the Eggs Up lol they were scattered everywhere
I put the eggs in cold water, bring to boil and immediately turn off the heat. Let them cool enough and eat.
i love your comment about how you teach your kids to use chopsticks
THEIR ARE TV SHOWS.. THAT SAY POULTRY.. HAS TO HEAT TO 160▪ IN INSIDE, AN SO AM DOIN ..
I feel like those gloves might be good for makeup brush cleaning.
The chop stick gadget would be really useful for dyspractic people. My boyfriend will never learn how to use chopsticks because he has dyspraxia and doesn't have very good muscle memory. With a gadget like that, he could use chopsticks!
SiLi in Norway There are many other types of chopsticks with a fused ending or a contraption that looks like the spring mechanism of a clothes peg (most of these are considered to be for children or training chopsticks) I have about four pairs of chopsticks with those silicone helpers, two men/boy figures and two Hello Kitty figures! They help if you get sore hands from typing or writing.
@@lmaree200886 I saw a TH-cam about cutting holes in a bottle cap to use like this, less obvious if you're an adult needing help. The little figure is cute for kids though.
Was she cutting the eggs with a prison shive? That was a strange looking knife
I would love to visit one of these shops, there are none around me.☹
I want to see a How To Boil An Egg Properly video!
Please translate your videos to Arabic 😘
لو سمحتي ترجمي فيديوهاتك للعربي 😘😙😚
I absolutely adore you and always relax watching your show.
Your upbeat attitude and calm demeanor is soothing. This makes content so much more enjoyable, easier to digest and I find myself watching lots of videos consecutively.
Thanks Emmy 💕
i wonder if you could use the rice ball maker for meatballs
boom! safety is number one priority
Love your channel, Emmy!! Have you considered trying a specifically plastic-free or zero waste recipe?!
Love your channel, Emmy!! Have you considered trying a specifically plastic-free or zero waste recipe?!
Everytime I see you put rice seasoning on rice I want to try it!! I've never had any but really want to try some! Any brand suggestions?
Live the Rice ball maker!!!!!!! LOL the Chopstick trainer is good for ADULTS HAHAHAHAHA Also like the Egg timer, funny!!!!!!! I put my eggs in cold water turn up to high & set timer 15mins & turn off heat n cover 15mins & DONE LOL💚💙💜💝💚💙💜💝💚💙💜💝💚💙💜💝💚💙💜💛❤💛❤💛❤💛❤💛❤💛❤
Emmy.. I absolutely Adore your Videos!! For my Birthday 12-31 I received "Poppin' Cookin" as a gift and that is a direct result of your Vids lol. I so love how you are not just educated on what you do but very well informed and down to earth!!! Hope your boys are running rapid and that you are having fun with them...... this is the only time that they will be this age (and honestly I am sooooo jelly lol) :) Oh!! And I found you thru Shinichi btw... Tabieats :)
Don’t just like kitchen gadget tests I love them, I just found you with your MRE tests and I have be addicted
Putting the Cooked egg on Cold or Running water will kinda make it easier to peel too...
My sister went to Japan in high school... and her entire host family was shocked she could use chopsticks with no instruction. As it happened, my family had been eating chinese and thai food for years and it had the side-effect of all of us getting really good at using chopsticks.
The mandoline I picked up at Daiso works surprisingly well! I also love it for little prep dishes and all my dishwashing supplies. Very specific brushes and sponges that are cheap enough to replace often.
I love Daiso! It's one of my favourite stores ever. You can find such interesting things in there.
Oh fooey. I saw the 100 and ignored the yen symbol and thought I was going to get to see Emmy demo 100 different gadgets. I'm definitely left wanting to see more, that was fun.
Gloves would be good for ginger
Maybe
OK I want one Of the rice ball shakers
The egg timer is the only product I've seen before and actually used! I boild my eggs the same way you do, bring the water to a boil first, then add the eggs. Every other person I know put the eggs in first! That's always been weird to me.
More gadget testing videos and more cooking videos please. I love them so much! Also love when videos are long like this one
I'd love to see how to boil an egg with cool tips - I already learned something new in this video about how to prevent the shell from sticking by popping the egg into boiling water instead of into gradually heated cold water. I'd love to learn more great tips like that! :)
PLEASE make the egg boiling video! I've come to realise that while I'm good at baking, I have no idea how to cook and boiling the perfect egg is a complete mystery to me XD
Wait I just went to Daiso in Orange County and everything was 1.50 unless marked. Used to go all the time on SF and it was the same story.
In daisos near me, the things are 1.50 each and not 2.50
Every time she says "any idea what this might be?" I feel like a little kid watching cartoons 😂 I love it!
If you add your eggs to cold water and add a lot of salt to the water, they peel like a dream. :)
I hate kitchen gadgets - but I love Emmy. I just wish that sometimes she was not so sweet. For potato peelings, you do not need a piece of plastic to transfer them to the compost when hands work just fine. You could recycle for 10,000 years and that stupid piece of useless plastic will still be there. PLEASE do not buy anymore plastic crap.
Peel your potatoes (I never do), and take the skins in your hand. Walk outside. Find dirt. Drop peelings on dirt.
Daiso here in San Diego is $1.50 unless listed otherwise :) Those "peeler gloves" are horrible LOL I bought them also and I ended up tossing them. Couldn't peel anything with them, didn't even work to remove the dirty off of foods. The only other terrible thing I've gotten there is my iphone charger cord. It worked for like 3 days and I was like "omg this is great!" but then it stopped, oh well.
In most Asian countries like Malaysia soft boiled eggs are just like that. They are liquidy but already white no longer clear. Normally we put some soy sauce and pepper in soft boiled eggs and dip butter and sangkaya(coconut and egg jam) toast in it. But I don't like soft boiled eggs anymore cause of the texture. I used to have it everyday for breakfast before going to kindergarten
For superior hard-boiled eggs, steam them in a rice steamer with the eggs' wider end down. A grid insert or a basket with holes in it makes that possible. After steaming for 20 minutes, submerge the eggs in ice water for approx. one minute. Remove eggs from the ice water. Gently tap the wide end to crack the shell. Submerge the cracked eggs again in the ice water for approx. one minute. Remove eggs; tap all around the eggs' sides, then roll the sides of the eggs on the counter to further crack the shells. Under cool running water, the shells will slide off the perfectly hard-boiled eggs. Steaming time may vary due to differences in rice steamers, the size of the eggs, and the quantity of eggs steamed. It works beautifully for me every single time. No more over-cooked and ragged looking hard-boiled eggs!!!
Emmy could you do an egg video? How to boil perfectly? How to poach? How to fry and flip without breaking yolk? I've had an "egg-struggle" my whole life and would love your techniques.
Emmy what if you put the timer in when you put your cold eggs in, I wonder if that would make a difference
I am incapable of using chopsticks, so this "chopstick friend" might be useful to me. I could invest a lot of time and effort into practising using chopsticks until I master it, however, being a Westerner, chopsticks are very situational, and most of the times inefficient for the type of food I tend to eat, so I see no point. I think I'll go the easy route and try to find that gadget on eBay :D
