RE: Boiling a Perfect Egg By (Guest Post) Google "boiling the perfect egg" and there is a link to a Julia Child's recipe. Its perfect! Posted on 09/05/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Boiling a Perfect Egg By Rebecca (Guest Post) All you do is, get a big enough saucepan with a lid to hold # of eggs you desire and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, put the lid on, and turn off the heat just let them sit about 10 mins or so, drain the water and then give the pan a shake to break the shells makeing them easier to peel, hope this helps!

Begin boiling the eggs and water over high heat. When the water boils vigorously 2 minutes, this means a full rolling boil, remove the pan from the heat and cover with a lid. After they sit for 12 minutes, drain the water and put a crack in each egg. When you crack the eggs after they are done cooking, it allows a place for the sulfur to escape. It is this sulfur that causes the odor and the green color. Next cover the eggs with cold water for about 30 minutes. After the eggs are completely cool, for easy peeling, start at the large end first.

The yolks will be done perfefctly with NO GREEN :) Using old eggs, as everyone else said, will make them easier to peel.

When it boils, turn off the heat and let egg sit in the water in the covered pot for ten minutes.

Set timer for 15 minutes from turning on the knob to high for 5 min. to med. low for 10 min., to finish. Pour out cold water, fill pan with cold water and peel immediately after 2 min. If you like medium done yokes, reduce time to 13 min. If your eggs are thin shelled / not organically raised, they will take the lesser time. Good luck and God bless you for His marvelous eggs. : ) Posted on 03/22/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Boiling a Perfect Egg By sumansehra (2) Contact You can put some salt on the water and boil it and keep it for 5-7 minutes . After that you can easily peel off the eggs easily Posted on 03/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Boiling a Perfect Egg By Marlene (Guest Post) #1. Don't use FRESH eggs - look for some a week old or longer. 2. Leave them sit out on the counter for a few hours. VERY IMPORTANT!! 3. Put them in a pan and cover with COLD water, adding a bit of salt which will prevent the egg from running out of the shell if it was cracked. 4. Bring the water to a boil. 5. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for 15 minutes. 6. Drain and add cold water to cover eggs - wait a few minutes and repeat. 7. Lightly roll the egg on the counter and the shell will come right off. We raised chickens and sold eggs for at least 25 years and I've cooked MANY eggs and always have perfect results this way. I cooked at a school for awhile and we did eggs this way also.

After fifteen minutes the eggs are always done. The cracking methods mentioned are not always 100% for me. My neighbor just brought over a dozen of just purchased eggs and ask me if I had a dozen that had been in the fridge for two weeks or longer. I did and she ask if I would trade eggs with her. Scratching my head I agreed. Then she told me she was planning to make deviled eggs and the older eggs shelled beautifully. Haven't tried it yet - not sure but she swears by it????

Posted on 03/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Boiling a Perfect Egg By lazisuzi (14) Contact I put my eggs in cold water. Bring to a boil and boil for five minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for 25 minutes. Then run cold water over them for about five minutes. The peel practically slides right off! Posted on 03/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Boiling a Perfect Egg By Faye (Guest Post) I recently bought an electric vegetable steamer and following the EASY instructions, I can "boil" a full dozen eggs in 12 minutes. Then I "crack" each one & put in ice water for 15 minutes - perfect!!

Posted on 03/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Boiling a Perfect Egg By Exasperated (112) Profile Contact I agree with previous posts with only minor modifications: Use medium-high heat until water boils. Turn off and let sit for 20 minutes, then drain and put into bowl filled with ice and water. Let sit until eggs feel cool to touch. It's best to peel and use right away those which are cracked. (Few, unless handled roughly.) The others may be dried off, marked "B" with a pencil, and stored in the refrigerator for a few days. This works great at Easter when coloring eggs (don't mark these!).

Put cold water in the pan and put the lid on and shake the eggs really hard so they crack all over. They are easier to peel that way.

Contact Start with cold water put burner on high and pull off heat as soon as it reaches a rolling boil. Let sit for 10 minutes then cool in cold water. If you use week old eggs, they peel easier because the shells are permeable and they dry out a little in the fridge making the inner shell looser. Posted on 03/20/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
