Title: Hard boiled eggs
Post by: Irongrip400 on March 13, 2012, 04:15:31 PM
Do you place them in the water, and then bring to a boils, or do you drop them in the boiling water?

I poke a whole in the flat end of the egg and drop them in boiling water for 8-10 minutes. If you like them softer do less. Add a big of salt to the water. It's hard for me to stomach them for some reason. I end up getting a stomach ache after 3-4. Chop them up put them in a sald or something.

Start with COLD water & slowly bring to temp.  Do not boil - simmer only
11 min - remove from heat - run under cool water.

or

Start with COLD water & slowly bring to boiling point.
Remove from heat - cover for 15 min

Start them off in cool water and then boil that way they dont crack.

All the pros have their "secret".
Both methods work fine.
Bring to boil too quickly and they'll crack and ooze.

I also find them easier to peel if started in cold water - If I just drop them in some near boiling water and hard boil them quickly, they never seem to peel well.  But I always find the modern eggs inconsistent - it is obvious the effect the battery farming has on these eggs as opposed to when I purchase the Eggs from farmers market etc - Anyway, I loved Boiled Eggs - Hard and Soft and yolk and all - I love to slice with egg and make curried egg & lettuce sandwiches.  HHHMMMM,  I am going to have eggs today!  Gotta love the Humble Egg!

Crack eggs on both ends, then run water over them. The water gets under the membrane and it makes it A LOT easier to peel.

People were getting me and G-Thang confused. Since I was Parker since 2003, people got used to it...

**Make sure membrane on both ends is broken, otherwise the trick won't work.
Using this trick, I can peel off the virtually the whole egg shell leaving a egg shaped wrap, sometimes even pushing one end out.

When you are finished cooking them drop them into a bowl of water with ice. You will thank me when you see how it makes it easier to peel.

11 minutes?  for fucks sake you are ending up with chalk.

The best way is put them in cold water, once the water gets to a boil then  turn the stove off.  Leave for 6 minutes.  run under cold water. Perfect eggs each time.

Before scrambling the eggs, my mother removes the placenta...she just doesn't like it...yet, if the egg is boiled, she eats it, and doesn't think about it.

Google..

Throw eggs into boiling water..Let the boil for 6 minutes flat...Take off burner and cool the eggs as fast as possible by running them under cold water...They will come out perfect like this...

People cook eggs to damn long...

6 minutes is perfect, and you won't be farting all day long with overdone eggs..
