Cooking Help Needed - Quick!

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'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
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

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

Is hard-boiling eggs at Easter for a little girl you know and love something that only gay guys do? That's news to me, and a lot of fathers I know. Obviously I have a lot to learn...

:laugh: I just started laughing out loud when I read that. My family looked at me weird. On a more serious note, talk about a non sequitur statement. :~ Have fun with the little lady today, Rog. And I hope your easter isn't too blazingly hot out there in Hel...Bullhead City. ;P
