How do you boil eggs?

[Killearn Kitties]

put one dozen eggs in cold water

put the lid on the pot

turn the heat on

turn the heat off the instant the water starts boiling

let them stand in the water for 10 minutes

drain and run under cold water to peel

"...and they'll be perfect every time!"

Now I know.

But have you tried it yet?

Here's how I do it. I put enough cold water in the pan to cover the eggs. I'm with lvpets2002 - just a bit of vinegar so they cleanly peel. I hate trying to peel an egg and having it look like a golf ball when I'm through. Put in the eggs (I use a serving spoon), cover the pan, and turn on the burner. When the water boils, shut off the burner and set a timer for 20 minutes. When the timer beeps, I like to take the eggs out of the hot water - I usually pop them in a bowl of ice water if I need them right away, or just cold water from the tap if not. I water my plants with the egg water when it's cool - supposedly the egg water is good for plants. My brother likes eggs a little softer so he takes them out at 15 minutes instead of 20.

And, on the subject of deviled eggs - I like the filling with mayonnaise, yellow or brown mustard, a little paprika (black pepper will do in a pinch) and a spoonful of sour cream or plain yogurt to make it smooth.

No problem....RICHARD you are a boiled egg! As much time as you spend it hot water it won't take long!

(although you should be careful calling me honey in public... )

I always put salt in the water so peeling is much easier... I let them boil for atleast ten minutes and to tell if they are done I use a fork or spoon and pusk the egg with it.. If its really bouncy in the water Its done.

I thought the same thing: POOF, you're a boiled egg! What a great thread! Except for response #124 ... no humor at all ... what's her problem?!

WTF?

OMG this is too funny - I actually read the whole thread as I wasn't poster back then....this is hysterical!

[RICHARD]

I always think of this thread when I make hard boiled eggs....

I saw the Egg Genie, forgot about it, then remembered the thread.

Egg Genie? Instead of a genie in a lamp, there's a genie in a chicken?

Who plays Alladin? Foghorn Leghorn?

There has to be a genie in a chicken...

I never figured out how the babies get put into the shell.

Andy's mom gave us something similar to an Egg Genie and despite only getting to cook 4 at a time, they are great! Peeling them is a breeze and they come out just right. No more boiling water for me.
