Wikipedia
Boiled eggs (also known as Dippy Eggs) are eggs (typically chicken's eggs) cooked by immersion in boiling water with their shells unbroken. Eggs cooked in water without their shells are known as poached eggs. Hard-boiled eggs are either boiled long enough for the egg white and then the egg yolk to solidify, or they are left to cool down, which will gradually solidify them, while a soft-boiled egg yolk, and sometimes even the white, remains at least partially liquid. The egg timer was so-named due to its common usage in timing the boiling of eggs. Boiled eggs are a popular breakfast food in many countries around the world.
[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
Put eggs in cold water and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute and remove pan from heat. Set timer for 20 minutes, remove and rinse under cold water. |
Step 2 |
Alternate method: Place eggs in a single layer in bottom of pot, cover with cold water to approximately one inch over the eggs. Turn heat on to High, and set timer to 18 minutes. Remove from heat immediately when the timer goes off and drain. Shake the pot around a bit so that the eggs crack, and cover the eggs with ice and cold water. Let sit for several minutes in the ice water before peeling. Super-easy peeling and guaranteed no green yolks! |
