Hi Emmy! I have developed a keto molecular gastronomy egg noodle/spaghetti noodle recipe I would like to invite you to try! It’s right up your alley! It’s extremely low carb (2g or .5g per batch), gluten free, dairy free, no nut flour or coconut flour! Many influencers have already tried it and the recipe is being shared everywhere in the keto world. Please help me reach out to the diabetic community as well! They can really benefit from this recipe health wise!
I’ve watched your orbeeze video a long time ago and you seem to enjoy molecular gastronomy, so you will love this recipe!!!
Ann
Second this
@@wojomojo yay!!! Thank you!
Yes please do this!
Oh yes I would love to see you make these!
Ann is a genius!!!!! Give this recipe a try please!!
You know it’s gonna be a good one when Emmy wears her lab gear lol
Seriously thought the same
i was just about to say ahhh shyt the lab coat is back baby!
LOL. It's a sous vide egg made in the most difficult way possible! 🤣The main issue here IMHO is that the melting point of polyethylene is only ~10-20 degrees (F) higher than the boiling point of water. The best you can hope for is a long poach. Maybe try a mylar bag instead. 500 deg melting point. This is a fun new subject to explore though. What other alternate cooking methods are there? Solar? Hot springs?
I remember cooking a hot dog with solar as a science experiment when I was a kid. You suspended it on a skewer across a sheet of foil outside on a sunny day and like 30-45 minutes later you have a lukewarm hotdog without any of the character you’d get cooking it in a pan. It did technically work, but I bet there are other, much better alternative methods out there! It would be a fun topic for Emmy to explore!
There's a really fascinating method where a special outdoor oven is built to collect and focus a lot of heat when sitting in the sun. You can basically use it as an oven/kiln without any flame or electricity. I've mostly seen it used by doomsday preppers and serious homesteaders who want to live as off the grid as they can.
You should try heating pad cookery lol. I know it sounds strange, but it works for warming and toasting. And, yes, I am talking about an everyday heating pad that people use for pain relief. It's a handy trick for the bedridden.
Well, intense irradiation will 'cook' an egg. You shouldn't taste the results though!
@@Kiterpuss
I had a coworker that used one to heat his lunch and make coffee with on the jobsite far away from electricity or roads. It was a fairly simple piece of kit, actually. A parabolic mirror about twice as large as a basketball cut in half. A tripod with a shelf that sat inside of it, the shelf being near the focal point of light, which was about 150mm above the 'spillover plane' of the rim. A glass dome that fit it all and voila! Bob's your uncle! Imagine a satellite dish with a bell jar dome, shrunken down to portability.
I love that you show us the fails as well. Because everything can’t always be perfect. But persistence is key !
I just came to say this exact thing.
@@larrianncurtis8078 11
Emmy! I love how you embrace the imperfection that comes with cooking and experimenting. In a society that strives for unrealistic standards of perfection, it is nice to see a role model RUclipsr personality share an honest video that doesn’t end in complete success! Way to keep it real ;)
This was such a fun video! You could see the extra plastic hanging from the bottom of the veggie bags waiting to get melted. Definitely the type and shape of plastic affects the outcome dramatically. Many plastics melt in boiling water too, so plastics research is the real x-factor here!
I unwittingly found myself in a dark corner of RUclips I was not previously aware of and fell down a rabbit hole of psychological terrors... but thank all of the gods that Emmy is here with some wholesome content to cleanse my brain of what I just witnessed. I'm just gonna hang out on your channel for a while...
Why do I want to know what you watched
@@raelynnholmes7843 the human condition, lol. it was nikocado avocado and the white guy that's trying to turn himself Korean. not really that dark, but such disturbing behavior, I just can't wrap my mind around either one.
My only problem is plastic toxicity when heat is applied.
I think u need more water to further insulate the top part of the plastic
i thought the same thing.
Wouldn't the egg shell act as a barrier to this? Obviously if she was making ramen and drinking the water it would increase.
@@mammabear379 Eggshells are semi-permeable. I would need to do more research to be sure of all the possible molecules that could get through, but I wouldn't just trust it without verifying.
@@Wulfslove That would come into play if you had the egg in the water for a long amount of time, like days. You can test it out with dyes, and it takes more than a day for the inside to get stained. Seeing as to how Azo dyes are similar in bulk to toxic molecules in plastic like Bisphenol A, it would be reasonable to think the permeation rates would be similar but also take into account that it would need to go through the eggshell and the placenta since these are two distinct layers in eggs. Most experiments done with eggs and dyes also require the shell to be gone as well
Emmy, maybe if you used one of those Crock-Pot liner cooking bags it wouldn't leak since it is made for heat. I love all your videos and how you persevere with everything you do.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
This is a FABULOUS suggestion
Yes, that's what I was thinking! Those or Turkey roasting bags!🤔
I used a crockpot liner bag once. It leaked. I was pretty annoyed. I still have them; only used it the one time.
I love this video so much. When I was 11 or 12 my best friend and I heard that you could put a Pringles can filled with water over coals and boil water without the cardboard catching fire. Like 1976 or so. We tried it and what do you know, it works!
Emmy doing science is always the best.
Love all Emmy's videos. Just knowing Emmy cursed made me smile. She's just so pure hearted!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
@@jamesglenn641 great I hope are also
@@larainneestell700 I'm good I'd like to know more about you if you don't mind 🙂
@@jamesglenn641 why would you just come up to someone asking to know more about them?? What did you have in mind?
@@peachxtaehyung this guy has messaged before and i think it's some kind of bot lmao. i would just ignore anything that looks like this just to be safe
"If you were to try this..."
No Emmy, no one is going to try this.
Idk I might 🤷🏾♂️
Have you ever shown scrambled eggs in a shell? My sons showed me this trick. You spin it in a sock or nylon and then you cook it like a hard boiled egg. Neither of them liked hard boiled eggs but they liked this option. Of course it was easier for me to make scrambled eggs but maybe for Easter parties when they don't like it separate
Cool to know
I seen this somewhere else and hands down, what scratched my head was "that bag isn't burning..."
Without water in it, immediate meltdown
I have discovered a way to reheat leftovers in the oven. I plate up the lefties on a heat proof plate, and cover with plastic wrap. I place the plate in the oven set to the low side of WARM, and heat for 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the portion size. It always comes out like it was cooked fresh. The plastic will not melt at this temperature.
Because it's preventing steam from escaping, the plastic wrap gets wet. That moisture keeps it from getting any hotter than 212 degrees. And most plastic wraps won't melt until they get to 220 to 250 degrees.
Freezer bag (thicker plastic) and a flame defuser (in direct heat)
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
You remain very calm when things go wrong. I tend to get upset too easily 🤣
Would love to see a behind the scenes/studio tour. I love the new set up, and unless I missed the video I don’t think you talked about it.
Same!!!
Me too! I think she built it in her backyard, but I'd love a tour and history!
This was a goddamn good time! 😄
Well, I'm glad somebody enjoyed it. 😅
I have so much fun learning from you, Emmy. Thanks for making my day more cheery. I needed a break from "Squid Game." 😭
Have you considered trying anything like boiling stones? I know from my anthropology class that they were common in the plains native tribes. They used containers made from bark and wood or even animal hides to contain water, then heated stones and dropped them into the water to transfer the heat that way.
I like that idea! In California the native people used heated stones in watertight baskets to cook their acorn porridge.
That's how we learned how to boil water, all around the world, thousands of years ago. Its solid! Just takes a long time to get the water boiling, but its fun
Seeing Emmy's videos pop up on my feed always makes my day!
I love the videos that contain the LAB COAT!!!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Wow!😮 You did it i was thinking the plastic bag gonna melt. But with low heat you got the right temperature. Nice one as always 👍
Emmy @emmymade, there's an easier way!
In Boy Scouts we've picked up a lot of fun fire cooking hacks, like steaming a cake in a plastic bag, but if you want to boil an egg then you use a paper cup! The water seeps into the paper a bit, so it doesn't burn up, but the temperature conducts directly into the water and you will get a full boil in a paper cup!
The top of the rim might catch fire, but because the egg is enclosed in its shell, we didn't really mind if soot ends up in the water, but you really can put the paper cup almost right on top of the coals for a solid boiled egg.
sending everyone happy, productive & positive vibes this morning 💗💗💗
Back at you!! ☀️
Hello 👋 how are you doing
We’re gonna cook an egg in a plastic bag Morty. It’s going to be really good Morty.
I loved this video. Watching you trying to get the water to boil was funny but couldn't help cheering for you. Thank you so much for all the great videos and great recipes.
Saw that granny cooking using that plastic bag and now i am here
And never thought about spinning an egg to check if it gets cooked or not. Pretty cool.
I'm so glad you show what actually happened. I'm guessing others used baking bags.
Thanks for teaching this old dog new trick and putting a smile on my face.
You are awesome to watch.
This is really interesting! However, how do you know that the plastic won't leech into the water, and what situation would you need to actually do this method of cooking? Not criticizing, just curious. Thanks!
Yeah, I probably wouldn't use the water in food or drink it unless it was an emergency. Or use bags that are meant to be boiled.
Eggs should be okay, though I'd imagine.
Emergency situations change people’s outlook on things, all the time
@@BRUXXUS eggs have permeable shells BUT this is the sort of thing one would use in a survival type situation, necessity trumps other concerns in those incidents.
But, I gotta admit I had the same thought.
Plastic bags are used all the time in cooking. Look up Sous Vide cooking.
Or the Boil-in-bag items like old Ben rice. There is also Bag n Bake plastic bags you put in ovens.
@@hoshireed77 ~ When I was a young girl my mom bought us Boil N Bags. They were frozen, and came in a very small box and you would take the bag out, boil it in water ( in the bag ) and usually served on toast. I thought that was fun... back then. I wonder, and I doubt that that was safe plastic. Gotta love the 60’s! 😂
Oooh... I've been Searching for the Jedi ways to Make the PPE!!! Perfectly Poached Egg 🥚😁🥚🍳
Thank You for your Service @emmyMade
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Always something unexpected ! Emmy you are the most adorable content creator on RUclips !
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Emmy never says die!
I have made fried eggs and bacon in a bowl paper lunch bag over a campfire. Worked well and was delicious.
You should definitely email her that!!
Back in the 1960s, when I was a Girl Scout, we hard boiled eggs in a paper bag over a propane camp stove. The paper bag was one of those brown kraft paper bags and the water sogged it out but it held a dozen eggs without falling apart.
When Emmy was baffled after attempt 6 and told the egg / bag / big fat hole that she was disappointed I felt as if I too ruined my moms life and didn’t maintain waters heat capacity effectively. 😂☠️
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I was like what is she doing the bag is just going to melt !!!! Hahaha how funny love it
Blue gas flames burn at over 3500 degrees Fahrenheit. I couldn't find a reliable temperature for smoldering charcoal, but I can safely say that it is MUCH less than that of blue gas flames. Most of the figures I found were in the high hundreds of degrees F. I think you're exactly correct and your heat source was just WAY too hot. The outside of the plastic heated faster than the water on the inside could cool it. Still, this was a very cool video that inspired me to do some fun and interesting research. The fact that you don't shy away from showing the fails is one of the many reasons you're one of my favorite RUclipsrs!
Also, another thing I just thought of: plastic shopping bags are much thinner than the type of bags you were using. One would think that would be a disadvantage, but the opposite may be true. Heat transfer would be significantly faster through the thinner bag than the thicker one. The outside of the bag would be cooled by the water much more quickly. The heat source was still probably too hot, but just another thing to think about if you try this again.
My zombie survival plan is to make it to Emmy ASAP. We may die together but the food will be epic.
I like your science coat, exactly foe science cooking 👍
I’m actually glad this didn’t work well for you. I see so many videos of old ladies grabbing an old plastic bag and just filling it with water and cooking over open flames like it’s the most natural thing in the world. It seems counterintuitive probably because it is. Thanks Emmy ❤ love your videos.
Also on a positive I finally got ginger milk pudding to work when I moved to Singapore you can buy old ginger in the grocery store. It curdles the milk every time just perfect ❤.
Cook fried egg using a kraft paper bag and oil! During my boy scout days, the instructor taught us how to cook eggs using kraft paper bag and oil. Just pour some oil inside the bag. Make sure the 1/4 of the bag is well oiled. Crack an egg or two. Then hang the bag over burning coals or the remains of a campfire.
We have tried this and what I was told is to make sure no oxygen is inside the bag.. we have done it over charcoal and as long as no air is inside the bag it works!
WOW!! that is something that I would never think of trying. Interesting!
I love how you showed the mistakes lol .. and kept trying ❤️ 🥚
Thanx for the laugh this morning, hunny! 😂 xx
Next time you can try to cook bacon and egg in a brown paper lunch sack.( needs a flat bottomed paper bag or sack and a broad heat sorce).
So glad I stayed til the very end of this one! :D
You're awesome Emmy! I love your videos 😁
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Thanks for making me smile with the Lumberjack Song theme music.
her alter-ego in the end is just perfect haushausua
I have been here since the very beginning at 1k subs she has come along way so proud of this lovely woman well-done 😁😁🥰🥰❤❤❤
After #6 I've never heard you sound so defeated, but so glad you kept going!
You can cook in many unconventional vessels I used to fold pots out of aluminum foil when we were travelling. My concern with cooking in plastic bag would be release of toxins into the food from the bag.
The 'modern' method for doing this safely and effectively is via the sous vide method i.e. immersing that bag in hot (around 200 def F / 90 - 95 C) until the egg is cooked through!
OItherwise, kids: do Not try this at home w/o proper adult supervision AND a fire extinguisher nearby!!
Because you’re so awesome and knowledgeable every episode with you is kitchen science and kitchen history. Hahaha I love watching and recreating what you post. So far the state fair lemonade has been the best thing you’ve posted because it’s my absolute favorite drink too.
My grandfather always told me you could cook in a paper bag as long as it had water in it. Now I'm curious.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
You do the most amazing experiments!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Emmy does budget sous vide. Love it! 😂
Professor Emmy back to teach her students once again lol
"We got a leak..... we got another one.... it happened again..... it's been 30 minutes I think it's done... its ben 45 minutes and that the longest egg I've ever cooked."
Much easier to boil an egg in a paper cup/bag or cloth bag (absorbent natural fiber like cotton or linen...) or a leaf cup (banana leaves or the like...) - if your material is absorbent and weeps moisture fast enough to stay damp when heated it will transmit the heat to the water inside without burning or melting...
And, yes, I was a Boy Scout many years ago and we would boil water in a paper bag on camp-outs to impress the new Tenderfoot Scouts... 🤓
@@LDuncanKelly cool
NICE!! I've seen water boiled in a plastic drinking bottle, but not a plastic bag, nicely done.
Love love this video. Water heat capacity is something we think about a lot in environmental science. Thank you for bringing this to light in an approachable way
Your smile is infectious! Serotonin boost for the day has been administered
Love the music! Great video!!
So very practical as compared to other available methods...
Emmy that is the perfect egg to make a scotch egg. You should show that recipe next.
I've always wanted to make scotch eggs.
@@emmymade I think you should make scotch eggs they are delicious.
45 minutes for a SUPER soft boiled egg. My goodness xD
I, personally, like medium to hard boiled eggs so when I saw this I was like NOT COOKED
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I didn't know that about spinning cooked eggs! Going to try it!
You are so much fun!
hellofresh employees are striking emmy!
🎶 Emmy Made the Science Gal 🎶
You can see she almost break down in complete laughter when eating the egg. Cooking things plastic almost made her lose her sanity. I like.
Love the spinning egg test i haven't herd of it before. I've herd of the float test to check freshness being old eggs float fresh dont.another fun fact is dead batteries bounce while charged batteries dont.
that loose egg white is not for me, but the yolk looks PERFECT.
Fun to watch. But, I'll skip doing it myself. ☺
I usually make a dozen hard boiled eggs in my Instant Pot in just 4-6 minutes.
If I'm making just a few, I'll actually poach them until the yolks firm up. It's really quick.
I am studying Thermodynamics right now and this video is in perfect timing! LOVE IT
You need food grade plastic and more water to fill the bag. So that the water can cool the plastic all over. The part that was not in contact with water will heat up and melt becos no water to draw away the heat from the flame and melt the plastic.
likely the problem was with the bag you where using.
not only were they thinner but they also had the little bits at the bottom (near the heat) that where being melted and causing the leaks.
a ziplock bag would likely work much better, they are much thicker and thus take more thermal energy to melt.
also heat capacity is one thing but something not brought up is thermal conductivity, which plays a massive role in all of this. the heat needs to get through the plastic before it reaches it's melting point (i suppose more accurate failing point). so if it cannot conduct the heat fast enough into the water, it will simply melt. this also means the input of heat has a pretty big role in balancing all of that.
The propain burns a blue flame, much hotter than a red or yellow flame
I have never done this but I gotta think it's the heat source and water level along with the amount of bag that was not in contact with water.
Great demonstration and tenacity.
Emmy thank you. This was an awesome video and had me smiling.
1:41 marker is when the promotion stops
I haven't been this early to an Emmy vid in years! Hi, Emmy!
Try it with a brown paper bag folded so that there are no pasted edges to leak. Let the bag get soggy, then cook the egg in that. The water that soaks through the paper bag keeps the paper from burning. This might work better than a plastic bag.
This works best with plastic bottles, nice job making it work out in the end.
Love how you never give up x
This is how native Americans cooked food in birch bark bowls.
Emmy's chickens better start laying more 🥚!
This takes me back to the 60s when we used boil things over naked flames in paper bags!
That was really cool!
Was just watching your old jok video, happy to see you’re still posting!
While a bit different for larger parties (like graduation etc.) my family does omelets in a bag. Put in a freezer bag 3 eggs and whatever toppings (toppings bar) squish together and place in boiling water for about 15-20 min.
Emmy, you’re my favorite.
Bad experience? Great story. Bad experiment? Great content.
I didn't know about spinning an egg to see if it is cooked. Pretty cool!
The key to preventing leaks is picking the right plastic, some can go up to some high temperatures before melting, others just give up too soon, but, yeah, can't beat a proper metal pan for boiling stuff in... :P
Maybe to lower the heat source put a pan over the flame and use the heat from the pan to cook the egg in the bag?? So it's more of an indirect heat?
