Monday Foodie Mystery! The Hard Boiled Chick Yolk Phenomenon…

April 16, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

A friend of mine is asking for your help! Not once but TWICE he and his children were having hard boiled eggs and the yolk was kind of chick-shaped!

Now there must be a scientific foodie explanation for this weird egg phenomenon. Do you have any theories?

The kids were so freaked out by the yolks they fed them to their dog and swear they heard a crunch!

Now I know that you can scramble an egg in its shell before boiling but I do not know how you can create a chick-shape with a yolk!

If you have theories, let me know so I can pass them on and let them all feel a bit better about this odd foodie phenomenon (and prevent potential veganism, LOL).

    Have never EVER seen this happen. Are the eggs possessed by the devil?

      Good question Debra! I had a friend who thinks that it could be caused but the tiniest little fracture going into the pot but it’s still kind of crazy, isn’t it?

    When I’m soft boiling eggs and they crack a little, or a lot, it resembles these freaky results. The yolk is drawn to the crack and gets cooked strangely.

      Yes Kelly, I think that must be what happened! Thanks for being a foodie detective. 🙂 Think you got it “spot on”.

    Hmm, can’t say that I’ve seen that before. Though I did come across a boiled egg trick I might try next time I make tuna or egg salad. You add water and the trivet to the Instant Pot then use cooking spray or grease a flat bottom baking dish. Crack at least enough eggs to cover the bottom of the dish then pressure cook on high pressure for 5 mins. Let them sit another 5 mins before releasing pressure. Turn the dish of eggs out and chop them up. No peeling needed.
