How Do You Solve The Mystery Of The Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg?
Eggs have been a food source for man since prehistoric times. Dating almost as far back as the first consumption of the egg has been the question, “How do you make the perfect hard-boiled egg?” For every new wife and college student, here is the answer. When making hard-boiled eggs, use a pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Do not layer eggs in the pan. If you have a large number of eggs to cook, make several pans worth instead of piling them on top of each other. To cook the eggs, place them in a single layer in your chosen pan. Add cold water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Heat the eggs and water on high until they just start to boil. Remove them from the heat at this point and cover the pan. Do not allow them to come to a full rolling boil. The name hard-boiled refers to the hardness of the finished product, not to the intensity of the boiling water. Let large eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. If you are using jumbo or extra large eggs, allow 18 minutes for them
