Jamie Oliver - right or wrong?
9 Answers
I was watching JO the other day with his family members doing their bit in the kitchen.
He made some Kedgeree and poached the fish with the eggs in their shell to cook as well. I never use the water eggs have been boiled in for anything else as I think it would have bacteria & bird poo (even if you can't see it) on there. However if I boil vegetables, I use the water to make gravy/stuffing etc....
Does anyone else use boiled water from eggs & if so, for what? Am I the only one who thinks this was wrong?
Surely you'd be eating whatever has been transferred onto the boiled items.
Thoughts please

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.i don't use the water i boil eggs in just because there's not something i want to use it for, there's no goodness in it and it won't flavour anything, but i don't see a problem in poaching fish and boiling an egg together in the same pan. any bacteria would surely be killed off by the temperature. saves using two pans too, so cuts down on the washing up, and only uses one ring on the hob so uses less energy.
