Quoted message said:Request From: "Wyle Coyote" <[email hidden]> Does anyone have a
good recipe for boiled eggs? I want boiled eggs which are
easy to peel, and do not have a green ring around the
yolk. How do you do this?
Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Well, according to "Julia" there is a method for perfect
hard boiled eggs, and I can attest to this method working
absolutely perfect EVERY time I have used it. Each egg has a
more"rounded" end and a more "pointed" end. Using a needle
or a safety pin, make a hole in the larger (more rounded)
end of the eggshell. Place eggs covered in a sauce pan
covered with cold water. Turn heat to high, and as soon as
the water begins to boil remove the pan from heat and cover
for EXACTLY 17 minutes. ( this is what she says!) Remove
eggs from pan and place in bowl of Ice water for 2 minutes.
During that 2 minutes bring the pan of water back to a boil.
After the 2 minutes return the eggs to the boiling water for
10 seconds....then peel under running water.
This may sound like a lot of work, but....putting the
hole into the shell allows the "sulphurous" gasses to
escape which causes the nasty green ring and smell. The 2
minutes in the ice stop the cooking, and returning the
eggs to the boiling water for the 10 seconds slightly
"swells" the shells so they peel easily. They are
absolutely fantastic. Clean tasting, with a fabulous
yellow, smooth but cooked yolk.
