Burp the egg?

I was reading a thread on gasket problems and a poster made a comment about burping the egg rather than opening it up half or full. What does this mean?

Burp the egg means to open the egg really, really, slow maybe a 1/2 inch or less for a few seconds and then opening it up all the way. This is important if you have the egg over 500 degrees because if you open it to fast the oxygen of opening it to fast will cause a flash back :blink:

Any time you get a high temp going and choke it off, you have to be aware that when you open the lid, you can get a flashback. Go to the Whiz's site and check out the video. -RP

I learned something re-reading the link from the TNW website tonight too! `The part about opening the bottom and top vent all the way instead of doing the conventional burp.

P.S. I just need a peaceful evening at home by myself to look at TNW site and see what else I missed -
As you have been informed, burping is opening the lid a little bit. It is called burping because the intended result is a series of tiny flashbacks rather than one monstrous flashback. However, I don't burp. (No comments.) I'm convinced that burping will assist your gasket to an early demise. I personally open the top and bottom vents for 10 seconds or so, allow the builtup gases to burn, and then slowly open the lid. Good luck!The Naked Whiz
