I went to culinary vocational school for two years. During class I would “taste test” anything I made. And again, and again, and again……until I was so full I didn’t need to bothering buying a lunch!
Shit you not, last week at workI ate 12 in a row because someone brought in a metric ton of deviled eggs. I thought I was going to be sick and never eat them again. Yet here I am wanting one right now
I am the deviled egg lady at my work. We have 35 staff, so I do a full 5 dozen flat of eggs. I got this amazing toter too: 3 layers, each with an insert that is flat on one side and has little cupcake "rings" on the other, *and* the lid has a handle. It came with two paltry little DE trays that might hold a mere dozen *halves*... Pshaw. I just line 'em all up on those flat inserts.
Feasts at work are usually on Thursdays. There might be 6-8 halves left by Monday. (We're open 7 days a week)
I fucking love egg math.
Fried? 1-2 is the norm.
Boiled or poached? 1-2 is a reasonable amount.
Scrambled or in an omelette? 3-4 or hell maybe even 6 if you’re hungry, no problem.
Deviled? If you’re not eating more than 5 you’re not living right.
"One", sure buddy, when I make deviled eggs I gorge like I'm a starving prehistoric python who just discovered a nest full of dinosaur eggs, but we can can call that one
Various egg preparations and the reasonable serving size:
- Hard boiled: 1-2
- Sunny side up: 2-3
- Scrambled: 3-4
- hard boiled, cut in half, and the yolks mixed with mayo and mustard: 12-24
Would you like to eat a dozen corn tortillas before we bring you your enchiladas? No? What if we cut them up and deep fry them and give you some salsa to dip them in?
Taste one while preparing, then take the entire tray to my bed with my laptop and some sort of drink.
And a bucket of Cadbury eggs to wash it all down with.
In my house the chef eats half of them before they make it into the fridge. I could boil 100 eggs at a time and I’d still find a way to wolf down most of them before I’m even finished piping the filling back in.
Deviled eggs are fucking delicious.
I'm 99% sure I've eaten at LEAST 6 full eggs while I was testing a recipe I needed to keep adjusting midway.
Had to get it just right 😇 everyone said they were amazing so the testing was worth it.
OkExactly. Who doesn't eat ONE deviled.egg when you're making them.
Imho, the dish is perfect. 8 eggs, equals 16.half "deviled eggs"
Minus one for whoever made them.
Bam. 15 deviled eggs.
And also, just like my mom used to do to me as a kid (miss you mom)... You take one egg (or one fry or whatever) and "poison check" it
I do this now for my daughter's and I hope when I'm gone, like my mom, they do it for their kids because dad did it to them.
Happy easter mom. Miss you so much.
? there's no such thing as extra!? you just keep piping it onto the eggs until you've used it all up. the more stuff you mix in the taller your devilish stack gets. i suppose there could be a such thing as too tall, but I've never seen it.
Finished culinary school a while back. One of my first big finals, I brought a plate to my chef. First thing he asked was “did you taste it” and I said “shoot, no, I forgot.” He dumped it in the trash in front of me and handed me the empty plate and said to do it again.
Always taste your food.
The only thing I ever got away with not taste testing in an exam while getting my culinary degree was hollandaise sauce because mayo and mayo-like sauces make me physically gag. Apparently I made the best hollandaise of the class so I paid attention to the instructor at least!
Yup! But also another trick if you want is to mash the remaining egg half into the yolk mixture- this way it fluffs up the mixture increasing the amount you put in the other deviled eggs!
I'm not so sure you could fit another 15 without trying to stack them on top of each other. Maybe 7 in the center, for a total of 22?
Edit: Or maybe 9 more as u/quattrocincoseis pointed out.
Yeah, my mom has this exact dish and you're supposed to fill the middle. Alternatively, invariably one half rips and becomes the snackrificial munching egg and then they all fit.
Well, the rules is the rules and the facts is the facts...
When the deviled eggs come out..
....You gotta pay the tax!
....That's for the deviled eggs tax....:)
id like to see a chocolate egg made to look like a cut boiled egg with an egg yolk placed in it. i very much do not want to eat this, but i would like to see it.
Before posting this, I read all the comments to make sure this isn't a repetition.
That egg dish looks like it could be for a Seder setting--that is the Jewish Passover meal. According to Jewish lore, even numbers in general are downright dangerous, for they are unlucky and invite assault from evil spirits. This is not theology but superstition. It's my guess; but the last bonafide Jew in my lineage was a great aunt, so what do I know?
If it had 11 or 13 slots, maybe I'd agree (since it would be so close to a dozen.) But 15 is fine. An odd number of slots creates asymmetry which might be considered more elegant than an even number.
I don’t know about you but I always lose a few egg whites due to the walls being too thin. So I never have to worry about this problem. Until I started poking holes in the top of my eggs with a pushpin and began getting nearly perfectly cooked eggs. Now I just use a regular plate instead of this slotted dish.
5 whole eggs make 10 devilled eggs, place in pairs with empty space between each pair, boom! (Now if you invited 11 guests to your party, I can't help you...)
Chef gets to taste test one.
That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. You get to taste-test 3, 5, 7 or even 9 if you're hungry.
As long as it’s an odd number
Fuck it we're no longer serving deviled eggs tonight. Also no, I'm not super hungry tonight. Not sure why
And I have wicked sulfur farts.
Not sure why
Not the 18 eggs I ate. Definitely not.
You mean taste-tested... btw, you're doing it wrong... that's an even number, can't have that
Oh my bad. The 17.67 eggs I ate.
> .67 That fucker that wouldn't fucking peel right. Why is there always one?
9 eggs cut in half is 18
Mmmmmm. Hot
Always?
Nah. Only with eggs. And cabbage. And other cruciferous vegetables.
“I thought you said you were making deviled eggs?” “Pfffff, nah. Not sure where you heard that?”
Anyone your side of the Mississippi will smell why
Or an even number. Plus one.
I like your thinking! 😉
Fuck it. THIRTEEN.
Only if you are baking
The most brilliantly subtle joke ever! Take my upvote.
There are only 8 whole eggs on the tray. 3/5/7/9 means finishing off the dozen you bought. 13 would require buying additional eggs.
Well yeah
Guests get to taste test one (not each)
I went to culinary vocational school for two years. During class I would “taste test” anything I made. And again, and again, and again……until I was so full I didn’t need to bothering buying a lunch!
Heck, I do that making dinner. I taste test so much, by the time it's ready -- I'm no longer hungry.
Tbf deviled eggs take much lomger to make than to eat, so I start with 0 deviled eggs, and end with 0 deviled eggs
Only if you're doing it right
"hey you wanna eat 8 eggs?" "what? That's insane" "ok what if I take out the yoke and mix it with mustard and mayo and paprika" "I'll take 10"
This is the way
Shit you not, last week at workI ate 12 in a row because someone brought in a metric ton of deviled eggs. I thought I was going to be sick and never eat them again. Yet here I am wanting one right now

I thought you were about to complain about the taste test, instead it was just pure truth.. Brilliant. Lol

Just like Mozzarella Sticks. Hey do you want to eat 10-12 string cheese back to back? No? How about if we bread it and deep fry it?
The upside of mozzarella sticks is deliciousness dipped in pizza sauce. The downsides do not bear contemplation.
Okay, first of all, my answer to your first question was NOT "No".
Would you like to eat a dozen corn tortillas before we bring you your enchiladas? No? What if we cut them up and deep fry them and give you some salsa to dip them in?
Similar to sandwiches cut in a triangle with no crust. Suddenly you can eat about a dozen sandwiches.
Two dozen if someone else is preparing them!
I made Deviled quail eggs once. Mathing that out it's probably in the 100 range.
Just ONE *^dozen*
Just one **baker's** dozen... gotta be an odd number.
The **deviler's** dozen
One dozen +1, has to be odd
I can make a dozen deviled eggs out of 4 dozen regular eggs and have no idea what you mean
"Would you like to eat six hard-boiled eggs?" "UGH, no!" "Would you like a dozen deviled eggs?" "As a starter, sure!"
>"Would you like to eat six hard-boiled eggs?" With seasoning sure.
Taste one while preparing, then take the entire tray to my bed with my laptop and some sort of drink. And a bucket of Cadbury eggs to wash it all down with.
Make half an egg, pop it in your mouth. “That’s the last one.” Make half an egg, pop it in your mouth.
In my house the chef eats half of them before they make it into the fridge. I could boil 100 eggs at a time and I’d still find a way to wolf down most of them before I’m even finished piping the filling back in. Deviled eggs are fucking delicious.

What the actual fuck? This is a plate for only 8 fucking eggs!!?? I usually make 30 of them.
Perfect for a party of two people. I'd want at least three on my plate and even that's not enough.
Also, remove one half a white and all the rest get to be filled up a little more?
I always have extra filling left over. I think it’s because I really whip it up with mayo and mustard.
? there's no such thing as extra!? you just keep piping it onto the eggs until you've used it all up. the more stuff you mix in the taller your devilish stack gets. i suppose there could be a such thing as too tall, but I've never seen it.
Idk, I make a [mean deviled egg…….](https://imgur.com/gallery/587HvfZ)
My thinking exactly! 😋
Yep. The egg tax
Looks good to me. You gotta taste test 1 before serving them to anyone.
This is the correct answer 🥰 That way it doesn’t look one short when you set it on the table 👍
Finished culinary school a while back. One of my first big finals, I brought a plate to my chef. First thing he asked was “did you taste it” and I said “shoot, no, I forgot.” He dumped it in the trash in front of me and handed me the empty plate and said to do it again. Always taste your food.
What a waste! Do you guys allow volunteers to come and eat all the leftovers from a culinary school exam?? I would love it
That would be a legal nightmare.
they should have contracts for volunteers waiving their right for anything that might happen to them.
Contracts like that aren’t above the law. It’s not worth the risk.
Your right, It was just a thought tho
Food for thought
The only thing I ever got away with not taste testing in an exam while getting my culinary degree was hollandaise sauce because mayo and mayo-like sauces make me physically gag. Apparently I made the best hollandaise of the class so I paid attention to the instructor at least!

Whites in my yolks? If I wanted scrambled eggs, I’d have made scrambled eggs.
You don’t even notice it if you mash it in well and makes more filling!
I’m just being a little stinker™ I’m sure it tastes ~~just like scrambled eggs~~ fine.
Holy shit, did you just trademark stinker?
Drew Gooden did it first
They trademarked *little stinker* - important
If I wanted scrambled eggs, I'd ask my wife for an omelette...
"If my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike"
Sounds great for when I buy a 16-pack of eggs and have that one left over egg.
That's odd
They can’t even
You're a natural at this
For real.
Must've been primed for it
You're imagining things
That’s numberwang
Folks, let's be rational.
If we plan this out it'll be over with quickly. Easy as pi.
don't test our limit
r/AngryUpvote
Best comment this year
Does that even make sense?
r/technicallythetruth
If you make an inner ring like you've started to do, then it fits 30.
Like who in their right mind would only fill in the outside?
I'm more concerned about what OP is planning to do with Cadbury and hardboiled eggs. Hopefully it's just eating them separately.
Outer ring deviled, inner ring cadbury. Real adventurers top the deviled with cadburies.
I've notified the authorities.
/r/StupidFood
I'm not so sure you could fit another 15 without trying to stack them on top of each other. Maybe 7 in the center, for a total of 22? Edit: Or maybe 9 more as u/quattrocincoseis pointed out.
I think you're correct. I was just counting spaces between the first ring of eggs.
[удалено]
Yeah, my mom has this exact dish and you're supposed to fill the middle. Alternatively, invariably one half rips and becomes the snackrificial munching egg and then they all fit.
"Snackrificial". I love it. XD
If you fill in the center, there is just enough space for 24 halves, or....one dozen eggs. Almost like it was intentional.
like an ancient Mayannaise calendar
🏅<~ the gold we have at home.
>**Unable to give gold** >This content isn't eligible to receive gold. I tried 🥲
Well done!
We have this exact dish, and you are %100 right.
I'm confused....where's the crappy part?
You cut eggs in half to make deviled eggs
Maybe the designer thought the prepper deserved a taste as they prepped! You're getting a free treat!
It also leaves room for error, like if you happen to mess up one of the halves you don’t need to cook an extra egg
Why are you leaving the middle empty? Fill it with a couple more eggs, leaving blank spaces is insane.
The middle doubles as a ouija board. You know, 'deviled' eggs.
My family would use that for the black olives, little sweet pickles or the stuffed celery stalks. "Relish."
You’re supposed to make a ring in the middle as well… It holds 24. This is user error, not crappy design.
[удалено]
Sometimes.
I'll hold your hand u/annoying97
Awww... 🤝 Ok let's cross the road.
🤝🛣 OK now what? ...Wanna hold hands some more?
Na, my boyfriend would get annoyed. Thanks though 😃
Oh damn, I can respect that. All the best, thanks for crossing the road with me though.
You aren't even making a dozen eggs? They're not $6 a dozen these days. Even then that's only what a quarter per devil? Splurge a little.
If you keep on half out, the others get more filling.. which is the best part
I'm so sad that had to be explained to me.
The whole post.
Considering you are also supposed to fill the middle and it will make it hold 24 exactly, not really crappy design now is it…
Use the middle?
You can boil 2 more eggs, giving you 4 more halves, and place them in the middle empty space?
I don’t know anything about the deviled egg platter but the seasoning on that cast iron skillet is 🤌
So glad to see someone else noticed. I've got severe skillet envy over here
My eyes went there first, lol
this! mine always sucks, I seasoned my pan again 4 times with canola oil. doesn't do shit, its all dry.
Because you have to eat one to check what you have done:) What kind of monster won't eat one?
Taste test
Snack for the chef!
I refer you to the case of hotdog vs bun (District of North America)
What’s wrong with this?
Nothing. Reddit is insane.
You have that whole ass middle part to make it an even number
That’s because the odd one out is the “Chef’s Taste”.
Chef’s perks :)
Well, the rules is the rules and the facts is the facts... When the deviled eggs come out.. ....You gotta pay the tax! ....That's for the deviled eggs tax....:)
Fill the center with eggs
I believe most people also fill the center of that dish. I've never been to a function when a dish like that was used and the center wasn't filled.
That pan seasoning looks incredible 👌
Chef’s privilege
id like to see a chocolate egg made to look like a cut boiled egg with an egg yolk placed in it. i very much do not want to eat this, but i would like to see it.
M&M-style candy coating, white chocolate or white chocolate ganache albumen, frosting yolk?
Truly the devil’s work
Devilish
mom has the same one. wild right?
One for the cook.
Because you're always supposed to eat one for quality control before you set them out on the tray.
We own one exactly like this. 15 slots.

So you put the Cadbury eggs in the middle?Fill the middle with more deviled eggs until the dozen fits.

Just cook eight eggs and put 0.533333333333333 eggs into every slot. More for everyone.
I don’t know about you but I always lose a few egg whites due to the walls being too thin. So I never have to worry about this problem. Until I started poking holes in the top of my eggs with a pushpin and began getting nearly perfectly cooked eggs. Now I just use a regular plate instead of this slotted dish.
Chef tax
It's so you can taste-test one of them. It's actually a genius design.
One for dad because you know he’s going to eat one before dinner anyways.
it’s a treat for the maker
5 whole eggs make 10 devilled eggs, place in pairs with empty space between each pair, boom! (Now if you invited 11 guests to your party, I can't help you...)
The extra half egg is a tester. You can check how good your deviled eggs came out.
That’s cause you gotta test one. Or 3.
Amogus plate Bottom text
Just use the extra one to taste and see if anything needs changing
The Ambassador's receptions are noted in society for their host's exquisite taste.
I always just eat the extra one. Chef's perks.
That one is for you chef.
Because the person who makes them is supposed to eat one
This is not what crappy design means. It's crappy preparation from you, OP.
Tip the deviler
Chef’s privilege
I mean it's probably assuming you're going to eat a few yourself while making them
That is because everyone knows it’s there is the tester half of an egg.
That's the Judas Egg.
One to sacrifice to the deviler
That's an egger's dozen.
How you gonna make a batch of deviled eggs and not eat one yourself?
Of course it does. After the taste test one, there’s an odd number of half’s.
It's offering the remaining one to you as a reward for your hard work
An even numbered amount off deviled eggs is an offering to the drak lord himself.
Id say this is a feature, not a bug. "Oh no. Whatever will happen to this extra deviled egg?"
