Illustration: At a home kitchen counter, a cook has just split a peeled boiled egg over a small plate. Both halves retain smooth, fully set whites, but the soft centers bulge and release a slow, thick ribbon of yolk. A child leans close with toast ready, eagerly positioning one corner beneath the escaping yolk.
