HOW TO BOIL EGGS
Well, the first rule is NEVER boil eggs. They should be called Hard Cooked Eggs. Boiled eggs can be rubbery and hard to peel but this is a simple method I have used forever and I never have a problem with the yolk looking green or the shells sticking. Make sure your eggs are at least 5 days old so the shells remove easily. Hope you try this! It has worked for me for almost 50 years.

Steps:
- Cover the eggs with cold tap water in a pot and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Do not let the eggs boil and do not cover.
- Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes (large eggs) and remove from heat.
- Drain water and cover the eggs with cold water, draining and refreshing cold water as it warms up. Do this for a few minutes.
- Drain the water out of the pan and put the lid on it.
- Gently - verrrrrry gently - shake the pan up and down until you no longer hear the hard sound of the eggs, but rather the gentler sound of the shells being cracked.
- Remove the lid and cover the eggs with cold water again.
- Under a slow but steady stream of cold water remove the shells. They should come off in one piece.
- Place the eggs on a paper towel to remove moisture and then proceed with your recipe.

HOW TO BOILED EGGS 101
I got this from the Joy Of Cooking cook book. Bring eggs to room temperature before using. If the egg has been stored in the refrigerator it can be warmed gently under a flowing hot tap. The best way to ensure your eggs are easy to peel is to always use older eggs not bad ones, of course, just not so fresh.

Steps:
- A little salt in the water will keep eggs from cracking when boiling. Add a little vinegar to the water if or when an egg did cracks during boiling. It will help seal the egg. Someone suggest you start by putting the eggs in room temperature water and then bring to a boil, A pinhole in the tip of the egg will keep the shell from cracking due to trapped air. If you put an egg in already boiling water you stand a good chance of the egg cracking, especially if the egg just came out of the refrigerator.
- Bring eggs to room temperature before using.
- If the egg has been stored in the refrigerator it can be warmed gently under a flowing hot tap.
- Place sufficient water to cover the eggs in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.
- Lower the eggs carefully into the water, using a tablespoon.
- When the water reboils, start timing and reduce the heat so that the water simmers gently.
- Fast boiling makes the wgg ehite tough and causes the egg to bang against each other and crack.
- Timing boiled eggs depends on the size and degree of hardness desired.
- You should start timing the eggs from the moment the water first boils.
- Soft-boiled (soft whites, soft yolks):.
- Large size: 3 minutes 20 seconds.
- Medium size: 3 minutes.
- Small size: 2 minutes 40 seconds.
- Medium-boiled (hard whites, soft yolks):.
- Large size: 4 minutes 15 seconds.
- Medium size: 3 minutes 50 seconds.
- Small size: 3 minutes 20 seconds.
- Hard-boiled (hard whites, hard yolks):.
- Large size: 10 minutes.
- Medium size: 8 minutes.
- Small size: 7 minutes.
- Eggs 101: -- First, let's address the issue of eggs sticking to shells. To prevent this, use eggs that are a week to 10 days old. Older eggs have a different pH from new eggs, which researchers say affects peeling. We also find that cooling eggs immediately after cooking in an ice bath makes them easier to peel.
- But really, what good is an easy-to-peel egg if it is going to have that ugly green center? The green is made by the iron in the yolk combining with the sulfur in the white. Heat is a big foe of this chemical reaction. The longer you cook eggs, the more likely you are to end up with that green ring. The trick is to cook eggs just until the yolk is set without overcooking them. Removing the eggs from the hot water to an ice bath immediately after cooking will also help prevent the green from forming.
- The best way to make easy-to-peel hard-boiled eggs with pure yellow centers is to place the eggs in a pot of cold water and add a teaspoon of salt. Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and remove from heat and let sit for 13 minutes. Drain the eggs and immediately place in an ice bath until completely cooled. Drain and enjoy your perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs.
- I've also trialed and errored my way to the perfect hard boild egg.
- Use older eggs. Discount food chains like Grocery Outlet etc. are good places to buy.
- Make sure the eggs are room temperature. Don't boil eggs right out of the fridge.
- Put the eggs in the pan, and fill the pan with water until the water is about 1 inch above the eggs. You can use the first bend of your index finger as a measure.
- Add a bit of salt.
- COVER the pan and set the burner to a low medium heat and bring to a boil. Check the pan at around 10 minutes. The water will boil between 10-15 minutes.
- After it comes to a boil, keep it covered and let it sit for another 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the pan, drain the water, and rinse in cold water until the heat is gone from the eggs. This will take a couple of times. Then put them in cool water for about half an hour. Yeah, you can ice them, but it's a pain and the results are the same.
- After you've cooled the eggs, drain and dry the eggs. Soft kitchen towel works best.
- To peel the eggs, start by gently cracking the large end of the egg. That is where there will be a small air pocket and makes it easier to get you started. But before you do that -- gently roll the egg along a surface to get it cracked all over. Now you can remove the shell and eat your egg.
- I do appreciate the advice for making eggs easier to peel, but for Easter weekend that's not going to work if you plan to color your eggs. They have to be left uncracked!
- Your welcome.
- Eggs 102 -- I don't dread peeling eggs anymore. And No more waiting to peel eggs.
- 1. place eggs in pan with water and bring to a boil.
- 2. boil for 12 minutes.
- 3. fill a medium size bowl with cold water and a trays worth of ice cubes.
- 4. place eggs in ice water after the 12 min for 2 minutes and keep water in pan boiling or bring back to a boil.
- 5. Gently drop eggs back in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- 6. they are ready to peel I put them back in the ice cold water agian just to cool off for a minute.
- 7. So easy and I do it every time now!
- 8. The best way to ensure your eggs are easy to peel is to always use older eggs - not bad, of course, just not fresh. There is a membrane between the shell and the albumin, and as the egg ages, an air pocket develops between this membrane and the shell. So when you boil your eggs and go to peel them, the membrane around the white is no longer so strongly attached to the shell and it peels more easily. I always leave fresher eggs to be boiled out at room temp for a day or so before boiling them, which hastens the aging process.

This is an easy alternative to boiling when you need to make a lot of eggs at once. Red dots may appear on the shells and a little on the whites, but you can cut away those parts. The eggs still taste great.

HOW TO HARD BOIL AN EGG
This is the best method to use when making Deviled Eggs for the holidays - or any other time! From Mr. Breakfast: Note: Extremely fresh eggs are not recommended when making hard-boiled eggs. They are very difficult to peel. This is the best use for eggs nearing their expiration date.

Steps:
- Use eggs nearing their expiration date.
- Remove desired number of eggs from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Place eggs in a small sauce pan and add just enough water to completely cover eggs. (Note: the smaller the pan; the less room the eggs have to jump around and crack into each other).
- Bring the water to a rolling boil. Covering the pan will lead to a quicker boil and is recommended.
- Immediately reduce heat to simmer and remove the cover from the pan.
- Let the eggs sit in the simmering water for 12 minutes. (11 minutes for medium eggs; 13 minutes extra-large eggs).
- Carefully remove the pan from the stove top and place beneath the kitchen faucet. Run cool water into the pan for a minute until the water is cool to the touch. Give each egg a little whack to the side of the pan, so each egg has one or two cracks. Some will tell you that this lets pent-up sulphur escape. More practically, this allows a little steam to build between the cooked egg and its shell to make peeling easier. Let the eggs sit in the cool water for 2 to 5 minutes.
- To peel the Mr Breakfast way: Place hard-boiled egg on a hard surface such as a cutting board. Roll the egg back and forth - applying a very slight amount of pressure. Remove the cracked shell beneath a faucet of cool running water.
- If peeling multiple eggs, place peeled eggs in a bowl of cold water while you work the others. Refrigerating peeled eggs is not recommended. Hard-boiled eggs - still in their shell - can be stored in a refrigerator for 5 days.
