Cooking Help Needed - Quick!
-
I've been cooking all my life, and I'm told that I'm quite good at it. But I've not hard-boiled an egg in many years, and I have a little girl coming to stay the night who expects to dye some eggs for Easter. I seem to remember that you're supposed to start them out in cold water, but I don't remember how long to let them boil. I'm picking her up at 3, and it's almost 9 here - Help!!!:-O "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City
5 to 7 minutes of actual boil time bro. Have fun with Easter. Jerry He said this was like painstakingly assembling the first layer of a house of cards, then boasting that the next 15,000 layers were a mere formality.--The Code Book, pp. 331 Toasty0.com DotNetGroup.org

start with cold water, so they don't crack If it's for painting rather than eating, 10 minutes don't hurt. (It is said they last longer this way, but I'm not sure.)

I put them in cold water. Wait until the water starts boiling and then time it for 10 minutes. Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group Programmer Trainer and Mentor and Project Management Consultant

This is exactly what I've been taught (to boil for 10 mins) and we frequently boil eggs at home and eat them throughout the week.

No kidding! Jeez. I eat boiled eggs at least twice a week and certainly never have rubbery eggs. Just take them off after ten mins of boiling and you're set. Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group Programmer Trainer and Mentor and Project Management Consultant

What part about the salt? Are you talking about the exothermic reaction of adding salt? I didn't see that in the article,but got bored once I saw about 10 steps required to "cook" an egg. Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group Programmer Trainer and Mentor and Project Management Consultant

I didn't get the 2nd link right (now corrected and here again[^])...basically I remember adding a pinch of salt to the water before turning up the heat...but then that was 40+ years ago:-O Steve

Yep. That's an example of an exothermic reaction. Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group Programmer Trainer and Mentor and Project Management Consultant

the dissolved salt raises the boiling point of the solution slightly, so you cook at a higher temperature. Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed. Carl Sandburg

Wow. That's an interesting response to your question. The 'funny' part is, I can't even understand how his response relates to your question. :confused: Thanks for posting it at least :) Chris Richardson
