1368098 2014-02-20 02:17:00 Actually, the recommended method was to spin each egg in turn, stopping each one after a couple of turns then immediately releasing it.

The hard boiled egg will stay stationary, but the raw egg will start to spin again because the fluid interior is still moving.

Best of all, you only need one (raw) egg to confirm this, which makes it eggceptionally easy to prove. :D

The already boiled one will become overdone - makes a grey ring round the outside of the youlk, not unsafe to eat or anything but not pretty either...

True, but that never bothered me.

I suggest you try it, because it certainly will! Lay it on its side and give it a flick-twist spin and it will rotete very well.

I knew it would, but to fend off doubters I checked it out myself several times before posting.

Focus a flashlight on a cooked egg and it will block the light.
A raw egg will allow light through it.
Just an eggsample of tests.
