Boiling Eggs 101

[flyforfun]

I would like to know which one of you very fine sowal ladies gave Beachbummit her new recipe of how to boil eggs? Two weeks ago she tried boiling eggs for two hours only to end with the kitchen smelling something like well.......really rotten eggs. Last night, she decided to modify this recipe by not just boiling eggs for two hours, but for four hours! Again, same result except this time I awaken at 2AM smelling extremely rotten eggs and smoke. I don't know if she should be banned from trying to cook in her sleep or maybe swap her egg boiling recipe with one that requires only boiling the eggs for 10-15 minutes. Or maybe I should just remodel the kitchen, throw out the stove and put a vanity in its place? All I can say is she really needs some help, and think God she can kiss better than she cooks.

:funn:OMG...she does not know how to boil freaking eggs?

FFF, take your advice...get rid of the stove, put the vanity in. It will get much more use.

For the record:

Perfectly Boiled Eggs.

1 dozen large eggs
Water to cover
Pinch salt


Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Season with a pinch of salt. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover with a lid. Allow the eggs to sit for 11 minutes. Drain and cool the eggs for 2 minutes in ice water. Drain and peel the eggs.

Now, what was she using these boiled eggs for? I am curious.

Well see there's where the confusion happened, 2 minutes... 2 hours. It had a 2 in it.

:funn:I think Miss Kitty's math skills must have rubbed off on her.

Thanks for the recipe - I didn't know the exact times for boiling eggs either (knew it wasn't hours), but I'd have boiled a couple minutes longer.

How long for a soft boiled egg?

By the way FFF... If I was BB and you were taking my kitchen secrets to the internet I'd be tempted to throw eggs at you, not boil them.

Be careful she doesn't share some info with us about you.

Not really sure? I think it was an experiement or something. She has been hanging around all you artistic cook's and creators so much...I just think she is trying to do stuff she has never done before. This past Christmas I went to the craft shop to purchase my neice one of those bead making kits. Well, I showed BB this bead making kit and placed it on the table to wrap. Well, I went to run a few tasks, and a hour later I come back to find her trying to make jewelry . Make sure you all ask her to show you some of the pieces she made some time....

You know, on second thought, I am going to scap the vanity and just put in a salt water fish tank.

Do I need to take her to a dr?

Last weekend she bought a steamer, now she's boiling eggs.

I am worried. :shock: Did she catch something?
