This guy was the pioneer for low carb diets.

I am really interested in hearing peoples opinions of his egg cooking procedure. Is this an acceptable method of pasterizing eggs? If so I'd start making some of these egg shakes.

Step 1

Heat water to 180-185 degrees F .

Step 2

Add eggs, still in the shell, to the water and let simmer for 25 minutes.

I believe that is an accepted way to pasteurizing eggs, although I believe the egg and milk industry now uses a flash method.

This is how to make hard boiled eggs, although I would only leave them in the water for 5 minutes.

Technically, you don't!
The proteins in the egg will start to denature around 45C, this is cooking, they will go hard, although not boiled which is the term for any liquid reaching the temperature required to change it into a gaseous state.

Ok, but the method describe here leaves them liquid so you can add them to shakes without worrying about getting sick.
