white squiggly stuff in eggs
When you crack an egg, do you pull the white squiggly stuff out before cooking it? My mom does, my sisters do, and I do. But we are the only ones I've ever met that do...and I've asked a lot of people. So GCMs, anyone out there weird like me?!

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
Because I grew up doing it, that's how I was taught to deal with eggs. I never questioned it, I thought EVERYONE did it . So I've asked lots of friends since leaving home if they do that and I haven't met one.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
My mom used to do it. I am too lazy, and I don't notice a difference.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
It's not harmful and completely unnoticeable after cooking. If I were using raw eggs in something that I wanted totally smooth I might try to remove any lumpy bits, like if I were making raw eggnog, but there's no reason to otherwise.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
I ALWAYS do! I use a spoon for it's removal!
It's what my mom has always done, and I do it too. |

No. I've never seen a reason to.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
I don't even know what white squiggly stuff you guys are talking about . And we use a LOT of eggs in our cooking (probably a dozen and a half per week).

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
I do if it is really profuse, but generally only if I am scrambling it. If I am baking or something, I do not. Although I do remember making a baked good once that still had the white stringy thing in it after it was baked. Nasty!
Sometimes, I just wait until I am in the middle of scrambling the egg and pull it to the side and then remove it. It is easier that way.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
Its part of he egg white that holds the yolk in the center of the egg. I think the older the egg is the less noticeable it is.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
Ah, you mean the white 'umbilical cord' looking thing?
Reminds me of another reason I don't eat eggs. |
