Michael Booth 7,364 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 The other end that you put in the egg cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 That's the one, opposite the bottom end. I knew you would understand my logic, you will never get your egg upside down again! Easy Peesy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 And talking about eggs, anyone ever watched a hen lay one???? They stand up after laying one, then they are in a daze for a few minutes, that's when I sneak my hand her and remove her newly laid egg, stand back and have a giggle... The hen comes around, looks under her to move the egg to her "sitting" position, does a walk around the nesting box, puzzled, she knows she laid one but there's nowt there now... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I always put my boiled eggs in the egg cup with the pointy end uppermost, except when I do it the other way round. If your egg might be a little overdone it is best to put it in fat end up. That way you get to the yolk before it hardens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Seriously I always put my eggs in the egg cup with the pointy end upwards. BUT I have no idea which end comes out of the Hen first! Any one out there know the answer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I always smash my boiled egg over a slice of toast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beduth 202 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 There hasn't been one contributor in favour of butter in the bath and thin tray on the top. Well I challenge your thinking. The tray bit has a rim around the outer edge that can be gripped far easier than the smooth sides of the deep bit. You can slip your butter knife under the tray top and bounce it on the worktop much easier. And another thing. If you've got a block of butter going soft on a shallow tray and you reach over to get your caviar sandwich filling you could get butter all over your wristwatch or cuff-links. Anyway, why do I want an impression of an upsidedown cow in the butter container? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beduth 202 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Carni - post 34. The pointy end comes out last, otherwise the orifice would close with a bang. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 The fat end comes out the hen first......At least with my hen's it does.. Logic in that as it's the strong end, and as a hen stands up to lay the egg, it doesn't get broken when it hits the deck.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
