Umm, bleh. No browning? No *butter*? And what kind of junk is leeching into your eggs from those plastic bags sitting in boiling water for 13 minutes? Also, 13 minutes? You can cook one in less than 5 in a pan.
I am also very suspicious, but Max insists that there are no ill effects from the bag (that he could taste) and that the extra cook time trumps the hassle of scrubbing off baked on eggs.
That’s how they get you, man – the *really* bad stuff is tasteless!
Also, for the sticking – use more butter. Butter solves everything. Then just make sure you have a nice red wine with it to counteract the heart-killing effects. :-)
Don’t knock it before you try it–they really do taste good! Granted, not as good as the real deal cooked in tons of butter, but still decent and the nerd appeal of cooking them this way (in the future, everything will be cooked in baggies!) helps a lot.
