> But wouldn't water get inside the egg then? I should think interior pressure from expansion would force the water out.
Also, the recipe I have been using for several years with great success follows the basic rule: put the eggs in cold water then heat the water to boiling on high, reduce heat to just above medium to maintain the boil and boil (as others have said) for about 5 mins/egg. The important part is this, prepare a bowl of ice water to set the eggs in when they have boiled the correct amount of time. letting them sit for a few minutes in the ice water makes them far easier to peel. Recipe was "The best way to hard boil eggs" from Cooks Illustrated and has never failed me. I also have "the best Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe" and "Perfect Turkey" (Thanksgiving is not so far away) if anyone is interested. :-) -- -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:134398 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
