Yankees, Canadians, west coasters (including those from Rio Linda), and those from fly-over country would reply "over medium" when asked how we liked our eggs cooked like that.
Happy belated birthday, Rush. Some of us here miss you and your show. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Your first two are incorrect. See my post above on the classical definition of each doneness. Again, this why I avoided cooking breakfast on lines if egg doneness was involved. Many high end Chefs only serve scrambled eggs with their brunch dishes for this reason. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: You people who erroneously believe that over easy is called over medium - what do you call actual over medium eggs? Over easy is a flipped egg with the white still like snot around the yolk. Over medium is a cooked white with runny yolk. Over well is solid yolk. Your first two are incorrect. See my post above on the classical definition of each doneness. Again, this why I avoided cooking breakfast on lines if egg doneness was involved.

I've also seen descriptions matching yours on menus in restaurants all across the country, But, you can fix ignorance. Stupid is a state of mind. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Incorrect, What you describe is over easy. Easy, Medium and Hard tells you how the yolks are cooked, not the whites. ETA, from my previous post: Over easy= fully runny, unset yolk encased by whites. The whites are set; A proper, classical over easy will also have no browning on the whites. Over medium= partially set yolks encased by whites. The yolks are mainly jelly like and can have a very little bit of liquid yolks. A little color on the whites is acceptable. Over hard=fully cooked and set yolks. Browning on the whites is expected. Sunny side up= exposed, runny yolks with whites fully set under the yolks. I have heard arguments about browning on the whites or not. These definitions are taught by every Culinary training program and by every quality, skilled Chef I have worked with. There are many misconceptions on the definition of what egg doneness, which is why I have always avoided cooking breakfast as Chef. You can cook a perfect classical eggs over easy and someone will say “this is wrong, eggs over easy is (insert personal definition)”. It is worse than dealing with meat temperatures. You are wrong. As has already been stated, over easy will have loose whites. Over medium is solid whites with runny yolks. Over well is solid yolks. |

Over easy…..

Might as well hard boil them. I got super sick and food poisoned from under cooked eggs once as a child and ever since can't do runny eggs I've never eaten them more done than the op. Over medium. Sorry for your tender tummy. This is why at least half of arfcom needn't worry about prepping for SHTF, or doing any sort of drills. They will all be dead in less than ten days of dysentery or food poisoning So then others can just wait a few days and then scoop up whatever guns and ammo they may have And anything else that can be used for barter |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Over easy is a flipped egg with the white still like snot around the yolk. Over medium is a cooked white with runny yolk. Over well is solid yolk. You failed to answer the question, as you skipped right over medium. Easy: runny yolk Medium: gelled yolk Hard: solid yolk So again, those who erroneously believe that medium = runny, what do you call actual medium, where the yolk is gelled but not fully solid? You seem to just be refusing to acknowledge that such a state exists. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: FPNI Poll fail. An over easy egg is an egg that’s been fried on one side only & both the white & yellow are runny. The egg in the pictures has been flipped over & fried on both sides & is thus an over medium egg. Dippy egg? Good grief. And this is why most arfcommers say they have no friends Also the stories from gun shops and gun shows about all the wierd people they encounter |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You are wrong. As has already been stated, over easy will have loose whites. Over medium is solid whites with runny yolks. Over well is solid yolks. Tell every highly skilled Executive Chef I have worked with that. Two of them had James Beard awards(highest American award for cooking excellence), many of them were nominated for James Beard awards and a couple chefs were trained by Michelin starred chefs in Europe. The definitions I posted were consistent across all of those chefs. They all said the same thing: these are the classical definitions for egg doneness. Anything else is incorrect and a misconception. It is worse than meat temperatures. No disrespect, but, You can keep you ideas on what those definitions are, but, know they are your personal/regional definition. It is not what is taught to Professional Chefs. BTW, While I am a pretty chill guy, I take cooking a bit seriously as I am a nearly 30 year veteran of high end kitchens and know my craft. We will stop this discussion here. Despite my knowledge and training, you will most likely not budge. So, I will keep it civil and agree to disagree. |

Over medium sounds like some bullshit made up for the avocado toasters…we just had “over easy” or “over done”. Over easy was yolk runny. You’d have to be a psychopath to think whites wouldn’t set on a flipped egg. Sunny side up was how you got less set.

You dipsticks arguing with @metalchef are flat out wrong. Just because YOU don’t know anything about cooking doesn’t mean you can just make shit up. I bet you’re mad that your meals aren’t prepared to your liking when eating out because the chef doesn’t do what you asked, because you insist on clinging to an incorrect definition of a standard, BASIC fucking tenant of classic cooking. You probably think the steak at Applebees is good. Shit, I bet you even think the Alfredo at Olive Garden is amazing.
It’s not agree to disagree. You don’t get to say the earth is flat and we’ll agree to disagree. You can just agree that you are ignorant and I will agree with that. Do yourself a favor, get some cheerios, pour some milk on top, and leave the breakfast cooking to the men. |

Over easy but underseaasoned. I see no coarse ground black pepper on those. And without pepper, eggs are merely okay.
"Dippy" / "Dippit" ??? What kinda weird colloquialism is this? I'm damn near 70 and have never heard this term from anyone IRL, in media, or on the 'net until now. |
