Hard Boiled Eggs

You don't have to boil them for ten minutes. Bring the pot
to a boil, cover it and let it sit (not over heat) for 20
minutes. The eggs will be cooked perfectly.

Hi Ora.

I appreciate your information, but I'm looking for some
nutritional analysis if you have any.

Thanks,

Why are you concerned?

Who said you should be?

I am hoping you are eating the white part anyways...an
excellent source of protein with no cholesterol.

I'm eating the entire egg, including the egg yolk. I want to
be sure that cooking them in the fashion that produces a
hard boiled egg doesn't leave the cholesterol, fat and
protein in a form that is far less nutritious than that
found in a raw egg, i.e. likely to contribute more to free
radical formation, or perhaps the amino acids in the
proteins is greatly harmed/reduced in absorbability, etc.
These are my concerns and I'd like someone knowledgeable on
the subject to give me their opinion, or at least point me
in the direction of some research on the subject.

Thanks,

There is more than one way to cook an egg. You can boil it
to death and it will be tough and unpalatable or you can
cook it gently. Hard boiled eggs do not need to be boiled
for ten minutes, all they need is to heat them until they
are firm. The longer you cook an egg, the tougher it gets.

I don't think you want to eat raw eggs because of the
salmonella possibility so you need to go with cooked eggs.
How you cook them can make a difference in their texture so
it is not illogical that it could make a difference in their
nutritional value.

The cholesterol and fats will not significantly oxidize at
100 C in a few minutes, in fact cholesterol has shown to be
stable for long periods of time (hours at that temperature).
Enzymes will be killed, and various vitamins will be
degraded however.
