Recently, a method called “water-saving quick boiled boiled eggs” has emerged on the internet in Japan, sparking widespread discussion. This cooking technique claims to only require one centimeter of water and boil for about four minutes to make delicious boiled eggs.
However, the reason why this method attracts people’s attention is not the delicious degree of boiled eggs or whether it saves water and energy, but that a reporter was found by careful netizens when demonstrating the measurement of “1cm water”, which caused a lot of roast. Now let’s take a look at the measurement process of this Japanese journalist
Japanese News Report: “Save Water, Quickly Boil Boiled Eggs”
Asahi Television in Japan recently launched a special report on boiled eggs. Because many Japanese people have always believed that boiling boiled eggs requires a lot of water and gas, and the process is slightly cumbersome. Therefore, in order to find a method that is both water and gas efficient and can quickly cook delicious boiled eggs, the program team consulted experts.
Experts suggest that first, put raw eggs in the pot and add only one centimeter of water.
Next, the reporter used a ruler to measure the amount of water in this “one centimeter” area.
However, the video screenshot shows that although the water surface is at the position of scale 1, scale 0 is not counted from the edge of the ruler, which has caught the attention of netizens.
Egg cooking strategy:
Boil water over medium heat;
Cover the pot and cook for 4 minutes;
Turn off the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
In this way, it only takes four minutes and a small amount of water to make delicious boiled eggs! But the question is: Is the journalist’s measurement method really accurate?
After spotting the small error in the measurement, a sharp eyed netizen quickly complained that the reporter did not use the ruler correctly, which turned the whole report, originally intended to teach everyone to save water and boil eggs, into a joke.
The god of netizens roast:
That’s not 1 centimeter from the bottom of the pot, hahaha
This should be 1.4 or 1.5 centimeters, right
This image indicates that ‘correct measurement’ is also a skill that requires knowledge and skills
It’s better to use this specialized ruler
The schematic diagram clearly shows the difference between a regular ruler and a specialized ruler
The manufacturing industry often makes such mistakes (laughs)
This kind of thing is a bit concerning, although I know that the difference between 1 centimeter and 2 centimeters is actually within the margin of error and has little impact on the results
After reading the reactions of netizens, many people deeply feel that this small mistake can attract so much attention, and when choosing the method of cooking eggs, some people lament the convenience of the rice cooker: pressing the button, everything is easily solved. This discussion not only sparked attention to the “saving boiled eggs” technology, but also indirectly reminded everyone of the importance of measurement accuracy in daily life.
This method of “saving water, quickly boiling boiled eggs” may not be suitable for all occasions, but it does provide an energy-saving idea and also makes people think: in daily life, details also determine success or failure.
