I can't comment on hot Jell-O, however, I like my Jell-O . . . well, not completely firm, y'know? Like, you know how the directions on the box say let it chill for at least four hours to let it get good and firm? Well, I'll let it chill for, say three hours instead, because I find the firmer Jell-O, the more it loses its flavor . . . plus, I don't care for the texture of really firm Jell-O, I like a little softness to it.
Now, how do you guys feel about eggs? For me, I have very specific preferences when it comes to eggs, and how you cook them . . . basically, I don't like my eggs cooked too long in any style:
- Scrambled: I like them soft, fluffy, and light yellow. This is why I can never eat breakfast sandwiches, because the egg is always cooked so hard, it's like eating a sponge.
- Fried/sunny-side up/poached: Likewise, I like them over easy . . . if I see of those brown whiskers around the edges of them, I won't touch 'em. This is why I never can order eggs in a restaurant, because they always over cook them.
- Boiled: I'm a little more flexible with boiled eggs. Generally, I also prefer them with nice, gooey, runny yolk in the middle, but it's extremely difficult to boil eggs just right that you can peel them without the egg itself squishing. So, I can certainly do eggs that have been boiled a little longer than say four or five minutes, but not really hard boiled like ten or twenty - then they're like eating little rubber bouncy balls.
