Video isn't that great if you don't speak Japanese, and I don't, but this is really cool. I'm gonna try this. This could be one of those digg explosion videos. It's starting with 40 views.

Can someone translate if I'm missing any steps other than keep the egg rolling while it hardboils.

interesting! I don't know japanese either but it appears they are using the centrifugal force of spinning the egg rapidly to force the yolk to the outside. This makes sense because the yolk is clearly more dense than the white of the egg. I'm not sure what the incubator is for before they spin the eggs though. Maybe it is to heat the egg juuust enough to break the vitelline or something.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

eeeeeh? Shinjirare-hen

That's cool - I've gotta try that sometime!

I'm also guessing you have to keep rolling the eggs while boiling, or the yolk will settle to the bottom.

Did you notice the air bubble, normally at one end of the egg.. But inside-out egg had bubble between yolk and white... which makes sense.. as you roll it, the air bubble is moving, but the yellow keeps hardening on the outside (solidifies from outside to inside)

According to The McGee, Egg whites begin to thicken at 145 degrees fahrenheit, but don't solidify until they reach 150. The egg yolk remains runny until it reaches 150, the same temperature at which the egg white solidifies.

I expect that the incubator was to raise the temperature of the egg to just 145 or maybe 148 degrees. Then they spin the egg, so the runny yolk flees to the outside, then they continue boiling.

Don't the Japanese ever tire of clip art? Been the trend there for 15 years at least, you'd think they'd try something new.

the soundtrack alone is outstanding

Oh Asian Collective, can't you help a brother out?? No extra tips from our Japanese speaking Sifters??

Yay, Kill Bill theme song!

but the incubator was only set to 33-34c (93f). too low for protien denaturation. maybe it was a fertilized egg and they incubated it for 3 days first?? ew. balut like.

dag: maji-de?!

translating:

first, it only works with fertilized eggs. surprise!

you need to warm the eggs to 38 degrees (that's why they use the incubator) for 3 days. the graphic early in the video shows that fertilized eggs' yolk have their membrane thinnest after 3 days.

then you can shake up the eggs until you hear the sound of liquid (so the egg yolk is broken). then boil them, stirring all the time, so the egg yolk stays on the outside when it cooks.

the technique is from edo period japan (also called "eggo period" for this reason). to incubate the eggs, people used to use pickling barrels full of nuka-miso (fermented miso for pickling) which would be warm. the professor tried that method but it wasn't keeping the eggs warm enough.

Thanks plastiquemonkey. Probably only works with fresh eggs, not my store bought 3 month old, samanella incubators.

doh.

Well, if anyone gets this to work with regular store eggs (local organic maybe best bet?) or otherwise, let me know. I REALLY want to try this and would love some pointers.

Maybe if I go into my grocery store and say "Where can I find the fertilized eggs?" someone will help me. lol

It is really slow, but the only one I can find.

Could some kind soul with the YouTube acct or the videosift mirror YT acct please upload this one to it?

The flv is 18MB and the URL below should all be one line. Thanks if you do this, I can has cheesburger, and u can has any of my superpowers.
