Board Chefs 12:17 - Jul 30 with 6974 views | SpruceMoose | What's the answer to making a good hard boiled egg? I've just spent five minutes trying to remove the shell from one and I'm at the stage of either throwing it away or enjoying it with a bit more crunch than usual. Here's how I made it. Eggs in cold water. Bring to the boil. Heat off lid on for eight minutes. Remove from water and leave to cool. Oh, and American eggs are crap, so don't know if that's an issue. Help.

Interesting. I've done my Googling and there seems to be two schools of thought. Eggs into cold water or eggs into hot water. Basically I'm just chatting to you lot to kill time until Stokie turns up. [Post edited 30 Jul 2020 12:21]

If you put them in hot water won't they carry on cooking? | |

This is to cook them! Start with cold water and bring it to the boil with the eggs already in there, or just toss them into already boiling water. Surely there are some chicken wranglers on here who now how to prepare their droppings correctly? | |

Ah I see. I'm sure I read something about steaming eggs (for 15 mins or so) to get a hard boiled egg that peels easily. Never tried that myself though. | |

Board Chefs on 12:29 - Jul 30 with 3480 views | SpruceMoose | False alarm people. I just tried another one and it slipped out of its shell like Mary Berry from a negligee. That other egg must have been a duff one. The chicken fooked up, not me. Never should have doubted myself. | |

Board Chefs on 12:33 - Jul 30 with 3448 views | jeera | Is the answer that after eight minutes the thing had welded itself together? | |

Board Chefs on 12:44 - Jul 30 with 3410 views | StokieBlue | If you add white wine vinegar to the water it softens the shell and should make it easier to peel assuming your hands aren't like this. SB | |

Boil water. Put egg in water. Take egg from water. Place in cold water. Remove from water. Gently roll and peel. If only some woman had written a book on this sort of thing. | |

This - and a pinch of salt - don’t take it with a pinch of salt, add a pinch of salt. | |

Madness. Eggs are superb. I am especially partial to a crispy egg although it is a bit of effort. SB [Post edited 30 Jul 2020 13:04]
