Re: [CnD] hard boiled eggs
I have also always used this easy-does-it method. Just putting them in a pot of cold water. I've never found hard-boiled eggs to be that fussy. Soft-boiled eggs are a different story. You really can't start them in cold water and expect them to come out right, but since I never make them anyway, it doesn't matter. I'll have to try the method of putting them in rapidly boiling salted water to see if peeling is easier. The salt should change the boiling temperature of the water a little bit, so maybe there is something to it. My husband worries about the egg shells more than I do, so it's worth a try. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Gregory Yorke via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, December 28, 2020 1:30 PM To: 'Cooking in the Dark' Cc: gyo...@verizon.net Subject: Re: [CnD] hard boiled eggs I have used this method for decades: Place eggs in cold water in a pot.

The cold water should stop the egg shells from sticking to the egg whites when you peal them. I guess everyone has their own method. Someone said that putting vinegar in the water helps. I think this helps food color stick to the egg shells when coloring them for Easter... -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Wendy Williams via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, December 28, 2020 11:11 AM To: 'Cooking in the Dark' Cc: wdywms...@gmail.com Subject: [CnD] hard boiled eggs It has been some time since I did hard boiled eggs on the stove using boiling water, .

Re: [CnD] hard boiled eggs
I would say 10 minutes of boiling is enough. And if you put salt into the water, the eggs will be much easier to peel. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, December 28, 2020 11:59 AM To: Wendy Williams via Cookinginthedark Cc: Jude DaShiell Subject: Re: [CnD] hard boiled eggs Cooking procedure is correct with 15 minutes boiling for hard boiling.

Re: [CnD] hard boiled eggs
You want the eggs to sit, covered, on the turned off burner, for 20 minutes. Then plunge them into cold water to crunch the shells and peel. Works every time. Good luck.

Re: [CnD] hard boiled eggs
Hi, Wendy: Bring the water to a roaring boil, add a little salt to the water to keep the eggs from cracking, and add the eggs. Cook the eggs for around 20 minutes then remove them from the stove, pouring the water out. Place the eggs on a separate plate to cool.

Wow! Thanks! This is interesting, along with the ice cube treatment after boiling them and the turning them upside down a few days prior to boiling them when in their carton in the fridge!
