I warm up eggs under my boobs when cooking/baking to get the egg to room temperature

r/

I constantly forget to take my eggs out of the fridge before using them in a recipe

I also have large breasts that accumulate a lot of heat so one day my dumbass thought “why don’t I just warm up the egg under my boob” (through my shirt btw but idk how much it matters since it’s in a shell lol) for like maybe a minute or two

And it’s actually made a noticeable difference in my recipes to have eggs up to room temperature

It’s so weird I’m too embarrassed to admit it to people in my life, they’ve noticed
improvements in my meals and I just say that I’ve been “finally remembering to get the eggs to room temp”

I told my sister tho and she calls me a “mama hen” for it lol

I could actually just do that but I have adhd and know will forget anyway and this is much more efficient 😭

    I mean, you could use a bowl of warm water or something.

    Hahah I’ve def done this. But you can also just put them in a glass and run warm water from the tap over them. It does make a different in baking! I do this more with butter than eggs, since I never remember to take the butter out in time and it never heats through evenly in the microwave. I guess you could also put cold butter in warm water, come to think of it.

    If it works it works so why stop 🙂

    I’ve done this with butter before when I need softened butter but forgot to take it out of the fridge lmao

    Similarly, when my partner is making scrambled eggs, he’ll put the slices of wrapped American cheese in his pockets to warm up. 

    To date we’ve only had one slice make it all the way through the laundry 😂

    Ok but if you forget things what if you forget you put the eggs are there and scramble them throughout your day 😂😂

    I tuck cold butter packets in my bra to warm it up.

    Erm, am I the only one who worries about hygiene? I wash my hands after anytime I’m touching eggs, may it be putting them to the fridge, taking them out or cracking them.

    Underboob salmonella ahoy.

  11. curiousity60 Avatar

    Cold egg on my warm underboob would have me shrieking.

  12. kikmaester Avatar

    Yeah, I stick (wrapped) cold butter in my bra to get it to “just softened”. This feels very similar 

  13. Loisalene Avatar

    I imagined doing this and started clucking. Then I read the mama hen comment and lost it. (I second the bowl of warm water)

  14. JayPlenty24 Avatar

    My grandma used to do that and it grossed me out so much as a kid.

  15. SleepyPoptart Avatar

    I do this to warm up my mascara. First step of doing my makeup is always mascara tube under the boob

  16. ellers23 Avatar

    Nah I do this too, my best friend taught it to me lol

  17. Linzabee Avatar

    I’ve done this. It also works for softening butter and warming your gel polish before painting your nails.

    Hold on, what is the effect of warm eggs? Am I cooking sub-optimally?

  19. SJSsarah Avatar

    Wait, what… eggs are supposed to be room temperature for recipes?! How did I not know about this??

  20. allaboutgarlic Avatar

    I would be technically able to do this but would forget about the eggs and lean forward…

    I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about boobs touching anything. I think you’re good 👍🏻

    I put them in my hoodie pocket

    I DO THE SAME THING. And with sticks of butter! Yes, the initial cold shock sucks, but it doesn’t last long.

    I put sticks of butter in my pants or under my armpits when I’m baking

    Me, a baker: 👀 a life hack I will use

  29. amioth Avatar

    My mom would do this with chocolates to soften them a bit when I was a kid (she probably still does I just can’t confirm). those small individually wrapped dove chocolates. Just don’t forget you left it under there or it’ll melt and then chocolate will be everywhere and you maaay get a yeast infection lol

    I do this with clumpy mascara

  31. imrzzz Avatar

    Eggs aren’t refrigerated where I live but I kind of wish they were now. Maybe if I keep enough eggs under my boob long enough I’ll hatch one.

    This seems like an example of where “the secret ingredient is love.”

    I’m sitting in my cube at work wondering how many eggs I could hold with each boob. Thank you.

  35. ThairsQinan Avatar

    I’ve done this with a (wrapped) stick of butter, it’s especially nice when baking in the summer.

  36. eugeneugene Avatar

    i used to do this with formula bottles when we were out and about before my son would take room temp or cold formula lol. i’d just slip the bottle under my titty while walking around the mall and my boobs are so big nobody noticed lol. I also used to do this to sneak alcohol into concerts lol

    Wow! I don’t have anywhere near enough boob for that. And I say boob because my girls have never met each other. They don’t even know the other one exists.

    I do this for nail polish to get easier application lol

    Sticking eggs under my boobs would only result in a messy floor. 🙁

  42. PeachasaurusWrex Avatar

    I do this with candy. My boobs aren’t big enough to do underneath tho, so I just put them in my bra, on the side near my armpit.

    The candies that I like to warm up are Starbursts and plain M&Ms (all candies go into my bra still in their packaging).

    One time I forgot I had a Starburst in my bra and my husband and I started getting frisky. Of course, when the bra came off, the Starburst fell out. We had a good laugh about it.

    lol! I’m waiting for the update where you tell us one broke and you got all eggy. Interesting note about the recipes! I wonder if this is another I didn’t know thing that makes everything I bake turn out terribly.

    When I worked in a lab I thawed buffer by putting the reaction vessel in my bra.

    what came first? the chicken or the underboob?

  47. Lynda73 Avatar

    I put it under my arm, up in the pit. My boobs aren’t big enough.

  48. EmilieEverywhere Avatar

    I think that the cold might give me a heart attack! 🤣

    But the idea of it is giving me wholesome grandma vibes. Not saying you’re old it just seems such an efficient if not odd way of doing it.

  49. EmeraldUsagi Avatar

    I have to take an injection once a week and it sucks when it’s cold, so I realized I can stick the vial in my bra to warm it up. The problem is I forget it’s there.

    Why are the eggs in the fridge?

  52. battleaxis Avatar

    Haha I love this! I hear ya on the adhd.

  53. DConstructed Avatar

    You can just let them rest in a warm/hot but not boiling container of water for a couple of minutes.

    Microwave a cup of small bowl of water and then let the eggs sit in it.

  54. themooglove Avatar

    I keep my eggs in my bread bin, I’ve never heard of putting them in the fridge.

  55. mybeautifullife12 Avatar

    First of all, i could never ever be bothered to take eggs out prior to cooking and baking for the room temp rule – i’m just not stringent enough like that. Secondly, your approach is resourceful. Make sure they don’t crack otherwise you’ll waste your produce and happy cooking!

  56. granolaandgrains Avatar

    That’s not room temp, that’s boob temp.

    I do this with my ear drops haha

    Lmao I do this with candy like starburst or laffy taffy

    I just put them in a bowl of warm water… your idea is great as long as you don’t forget they’re there and accidentally become a mom.

    My daughter and I do this with butter.

  64. BooBeans71 Avatar

    Haha I just found all my people! I’ve stuck stuff in my bras before, but never under. Now a nice cold egg under my boob sounds delightful to my menopausal heat demon.

    I always stuck the iced butter slice they always bring with the soft rolls at restaurants under my leg to soften up.

    I give my cat subcutaneous IV fluids, and I warm it up by tucking the syringe under a boob for a while

  66. faifai1337 Avatar

    Ok but this is brilliant. So gonna do that next time.

  67. obsten Avatar

    When my cat had an eye infection, his eye drops had to be kept in the fridge but warmed up before I gave them to him to reduce his discomfort. Half an hour in the underboob got the bottle to the perfect temp lol

    I do this with my injectable pens. Lol.

    I do this to warm my nail polish LOL it helps reduce bubbles when polishing!

    That’s how I warm my biologics up so that it hurts less going in, lol. It’s effective!

  71. SilverDubloon Avatar

    Ok but what if I did this with a (wrapped) stick of butter a couple weeks ago so I could spread some on toast?

    I thought you were going to say you forget to take the eggs out from under your boob and find them later.

    Less fun. But crack your eggs into a bowl, they will warm faster than in the shell.

    I have to self-inject arthritis medication every month, and the first one I was prescribed was extra painful if it was cold. I got into the habit of sticking it in my cleavage to take the refrigerator chill off it!

    I would be scared to risk an egg, but my sister does this all the time with butter lmfao

  82. bigcheez69420 Avatar

    I do this with mascara and nail polish lolol

    That’s a good idea to bring them to room temp for gluten free baking.

    Lol, this made me legit cackle out loud imagining eggs under the boobs, especially as an elder with big boobs with PLENTY of room for eggs. My luck, I’d crack them 😂

  88. alisda05 Avatar

    I’ve done this with eggs that are hatching while momma hen is off the nest with the rest of her babies. Keep them warm in my bra and let them hatch. Then, hand them off to momma once they get fluffy.

  89. Sypha914 Avatar

    This is genius! My sister bakes a lot and is built like me. I am going to pass this trick on to her.

    Whenever I wear mascara, I put it between or under my boobs while I get ready. It gets the formula just warm enough to glide onto my lashes a lot better. There have been several times that I have gotten where I am going and then realized my boobs were still holding the mascara.
