Red Copper Egg


I love my red copper pan... a few drops of avocado or EVOO and voila. I turn mine over and cook till done. Bob eats his like this. How do you eat your eggs? I can't eat runny white or yellow.

My memory continues to amaze me, or the lack there of... We eat our big meal at noon. This means putting the crockpot on at 4 or 5 am, which is no problem since we are UP...

The problem is I keep forgetting to put it on. I thought I solved the problem. I put the bright red crockpot on the kitchen counter. This means when I take my 5 am pill I will see it and fill it up.

Wrong. on that day, I forgot to take the pill, which means I found the crock pot to late to use it that day. Ok, I know you are saying just eat at 1 or 2.   We Can't, we must eat at 6:30, 12 and 5. Because we always HAVE...

We both like our fried eggs with really runny yolks. It is good to dip the bread in. I put 1/2 cup of water in a little bowl, crack an egg in it, cover and microwave for 50 seconds. Perfect! You could do the same thing, only increase the time. No pots to wash! That is the only trouble with Crock Pots, it is hard to remember to put the food in so ahead of time.

I like eggs just about any way they are cooked. Runny yolks are ok but never ever can I eat runny egg whites.
A couple times when I used my crockpot on work days I plugged it into a timer before I left for work and had it set to go off at a certain time. It was either that or run home at lunch time to turn it on.

Hello, I like eggs all kinds of ways. Except for the white to be runny.
It's not good to forget your pill. If I eat a big mid day meal I usually skip eating later. Enjoy your day!

I am laughing at this because it sounds like us. Up way too early, lunch at noon, dinner at 5:30 or at the latest, 6. How could I possibly snack on pistachios in the evening if I was full from dinner??? I take my vitamins right after I brush my teeth in the morning. Would that help? (Not that me brushing my teeth would help you remember to take your pill and remember to put the Crock-Pot on. And of course you'd have to remember to brush your teeth. This could go on and on!! LOL)

PS. Hate runny eggs!!

I hear you on the memory. Growing up we called soft eggs 'dip' eggs because we dipped our toast in it. I no longer care for them that way. I prefer mine scrambled.

My Mind's Eye said...

I've never cooked with a pan like that but have seen them advertised. They look very efficient and easy to clean.
I like my eggs over medium with just a wee bit of yoke running so I can dredge my toast thru it.

We eat our big meal at night. If it is a busy day and I want the c.p. on at a certain thus far I have remembered.

Oh, how I love you and Bob! 6:30, noon and 5:00.....
Y’all crack me up! We have no schedule! I guess we are just loose cannons and liable to eat any old time of the day and night!
So what do you cook in your crockpot when you can remember to fill it up? Inquiring minds want to know!

I used to ONLY eat mine scrambled, but now my fav is fried or over easy. I agree, NOOOOO runny white. But, I like to perch the yoke atop a burger or a slide of pizza and let the yellow ooze all over it. Tom makes fun of me for the latter, but I pointed out -- aside from the pizza crust, that's not any different than a sausage and cheese omelet.

Like Linda just said, I'm curious to know what goes in your crockpot, too!

No runny whites for me.
Your hours - how did you get in that habit - i could not do it!

I only like my eggs scrambled or in the form of an omelet :-).

Hootin Anni said...

All kinds of eggs here except RAW!!

I've got the perfect solution to forgetting the crock pot...go out to eat!!

Mersad said...

So glad your copper pan is working out for you. I have the regular ones with the stainless steel on the inside and copper on the outside.

Ruth Hiebert said...

I don’t like a runny egg. I do however love those frying pans. I have two different size Zane they are the best.

Saimi said...

My eggs have to be cooked through and through, I like them dry haha. Well you can look on the bright side, at least you didn't put the food in the crock pot and then forgot to turn it on.
Hugs to you!

I enjoy eggs fried, scrambled, hard-boiled, poached. A favorite breakfast around here is poached eggs on toast, and I enjoy breakfast bowls with rice, various veggies with a fried or poached egg on top, but those yolks have to be runny.

Pam said...

HAHA...I can leave things right in front of me to do on a regular basis but I think my mind gets used to it being there and sort of over look it. Funny how the mind works. When I worked I can't tell you the times that I would get half way to work and turn around and go back to check to be sure I turned off the stove or curling iron. So what I started doing was making myself tell myself that I had turned this stuff off or unplugged it. I would reach up to unplug the curling iron and say, "you unplugged the curling iron"...so when I wondered on the way to work I could say....yep you did it you told yourself you did. Its funny what we do remember things! Now go take that PILL!

Sorry about the crockpot issue. You sound like my dad, he eats by the clock. I eat when I'm hungry. I do love our cooper pot. We use it all the time!!

You are so disciplined.
I am the total opposite. think Dave and I have carried retirement to the other extreme.
The scale this morning told me to get disciplined again...
Chicken and veggies for dinner at "around" 5PM.

Lois said...

That is how I like my fried eggs and I like to have some grits to mix it up with. I never get up that early anymore, except to go to the bathroom and then get right back in the bed!
