Hardboiling An Ostrich Egg

[walkinghorse]

Takes 90 minutes according to today's Ripley's Believe or Not.
Can anybody confirm?

We had emu and ostrich eggs at a rescue I worked for.

We cooked them in a oven at 425 for and hour or so.

(Mostly we scrambled them for the big cats)

Well, it takes around 12 minutes to hard boil a chicken egg, and given that an ostrich egg is so much larger, 90 minutes doesn't sound unreasonable.

I’ll report back after breakfast tomorrow....

I hope you guys don't let the ostrich figure out what you're doing. Mean critters.

I hope this thread doesn’t die on the vine. The potential is enormous!

They weigh around thee pounds! Now I am wondering how they taste.

Is it 90 minutes at sea level?

Then what about in the mountains?

In my younger days I have eaten some funky stuff:

raw frog during a gigging trip
rattlesnake (on a pizza - delicious)
a bite of a liver from a freshly harvested deer
multiple - multiple insects , after reading a protein review
scorpion
raw egg chug (ala Rocky Balboa)
minnows (bait during a fishing trip)
and so on.....

those days are behind me ... I just dont think that I can do the ostrich egg

Well; I can assure you if you've never tried them that duck eggs do not taste like chicken eggs.

Ostrich huh? Brings a whole new meaning to the words, "deviled egg."

Real men eat Balut; a duck egg with the duck.
