How to boil and egg?

Answer 1

According to Cooking for Dummies, you put an egg in cold tap water in a pot. Bring the water to a rolling boil. When it reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and take the pot off the burner. Set a timer for 8-10 minutes. After that time, you can run cold water over the egg(s) and eat up!

What's the big deal about this method? You'll prevent the yolk from getting that green color, the sign of over-cooking. What if you get that green color? Nothing serious. It just shows everyone you over-cooked the egg.

Answer 2

in a small sauce pot, pour cold water into the pot almost full. Add 1 to how many eggs you want to boil. Then bring it to a boil and then turn the fire off and put a lid on the pot and let sit for 15 minutes. Do not touch while the eggs are sitting there.

Once fifteen minutes has pass; Drain the water off the eggs and pour cold water on the eggs and let sit for another 15 minutes. Then once that is done drain the eggs and take each egg and gently crack the shell by rolling the egg on the counter to remove the shell pieces.

Then slice and serve with Salt and Pepper!

Good luck!

Answer 3

Make sure you start with cold water!!! Eggs will crack if put into hot water.Put enough water in the pan to cover the eggs, then add a few dashes of salt. Then put on stove on medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then cover the pan and turn off heat. Run cold water until water is cold again. Let sit for 10 mins or so until the eggs have cooled down, then you can peel them. If you try to peel hot eggs, they will explode.

Answer 4

For tender, unrubbery whites and, moist, bright yellow, 'just-set' yolks. NO GREEN.

Method 1- Bring a pot of water (no eggs yet) to boil on a stove. Ensure there will be enough water to cover eggs completely. Once boiling, gently place eggs in pan and allow to gently boil for 7 (seven!) minutes. Once seven minutes is up- remove from hot water and cool under cold water.
Method 2- Bring a pot of water, with eggs submerged to a boil over med-high heat. Boil for 1 (one!) minute. Turn off heat and cover pot with tight fitting lid. Let eggs sit in hot water for 14 minutes. Remove the eggs from the hot water and cool under cold water.
Notes for either method: Don't allow the water to boil too violently- it will knock the eggs around and they will break. Older eggs are better suited for hard boiling. Fresh eggs are harder to peel. For soft boiled eggs, use method 1 and boil for eggs for only 4 1/2 minutes for runny yolks.

Answer 5

Fill a pot with water/put on medium heat/place egg in water/pour some salt to keep the egg from sticking inside and boil for 5 minutes.
I like my eggs mildy boiled so that the inner yolk is still moist...hm sound yummy.

Answer 6

For soft runny yoke, 2.5 minutes. Start the eggs in cold water and once the boil is rolling time for 2.5 minutes. For medium, yoke, just done, still yellow (not hard and gray film) 3.30 minutes.
