I try and educate you heathens on the finer points of egg boiling and here come the critics. My 13 minute eggs are never, I repeat, never overdone, and never have some smell of Sulphur. Honestly, sometimes the yoke isn't fully cooked hard, cooked enough but no where near rock hard with any of that grey discoloration. Maybe I just can't tell time, but 13 minutes works in my experience. All other opinions will be dismissed as commie propaganda.
Heathens and education in the same sentence? My biggest issue actually is the time it takes the eggs to get back to the boil I want when I toss them in the water...usually a dozen at a time. That's when I start the clock, so 13 is probably closer to the total time, or maybe a bit more. Seems like when it takes too long to get back to boiling, the things don't want to separate from the shell, and peel apart like onions. Hate it when that happens. Been a while since I've done it, but now all this talk is making me hungry for a sandwich with sliced hard boiled eggs, tomato, turkey bacon, and real mayo (slice of cheese optional). And I grill the sandwich after I make it. Best with Chicago Italian from Publix...thin sliced. A little tricky keeping the contents in while flipping it, though, unless you have one of those old reversible waffle irons with griddle sides.
Easiest way to peel an egg. Try this. Take a glass (a real glass), fill it halfway with water, put your egg in there, put a hand over the glass, and agitate up and down and sideways hard enough to crack the egg all over. Take it out and peel. The shell will literally fall off in one piece. Takes 5 seconds.
What the hell is wrong with you people, on how to peel a hard-boiled egg? Tap it with a stiff edge, and use your fingers to peel away the top and bottom portions! Why has it become such an event? Sheesh! Are your hens rebelling? Acid-laced feed? You folks are crazy.
Because... sometimes they don't peel well like that. The best way... is the way I described. EDIT: I'll be damned. There really is a YouTube for everything.
I do not believe you. My fingers can finesse that hard-boiled egg like no tomatoes. You simply lack skill my friend. (I have long fingers)
No idea what you are on about. I am on about how to properly peel a hard-boiled egg. WAY more important than charts and trading. Teehee.
All of this should be regulated by the government. Too bad that Obama left before they could get to it.
