Is it good to eat hard boiled eggs?

Answer 1

Sure, great source of protein.

Answer 2

Yes! Eggs are a whole protein source. Now, I would not recommend eating 1 dozen in a sitting..but having a hard cooked egg or two as a snack is a healthy way to get protein.

Now, as I posted in another entry.....

First of all, lets deal with the "Hardboiled" name. To refer to hard- or soft-cooked eggs as boiled is incorrect. Although the cooking water must come to a boil, tender, and less rubbery eggs with less breakage are produced when the heat is turned off. This allows the eggs to cook gently.

The method to making a perfect, tender hard cooked egg with the yolk in the center is as follows:

Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough water to come at least 1 inch above the eggs. Cover. Quickly bring just to boiling. Turn off heat (if necessary, remove pan from heat to prevent further boiling). Let eggs stand, covered, in the hot water about 12 minutes for medium eggs, 15 minutes for large eggs and 18 minutes for extra large. Immediately run cold water over eggs or place them in ice water until completely cooled. This helps avoid that nasty greenish ring (caused by sulfur and iron compounds) around hard-cooked yolks. Remove shells.

Very fresh eggs may be difficult to peel. The fresher the eggs, the more the shell membranes cling to the shells. The simplest method to getting a whole egg that is easier to peel is to buy and refrigerate eggs a week to 10 days in advance before cooking. This allows the eggs to take in air, which helps separate the membranes from the shell. Before peeling, roll egg between hands to loosen shell.

Peel, starting at the large end. Hold egg under running cold water or dip in bowl of water to help ease off shell. Eggshells usually come off much more readily, without tearing the whites, when they're in small pieces rather than large chunks.

So, there you go. Not only will it be good for you...but using the method above, it will be tasty and tender too. :)

Answer 3

Hard boiled eggs are good chopped up on salads and in tuna fish, but I don't like them plain.

Answer 4

Sure!! I love them. Pickle them in the juice in a can of beets and an equal amount of vinegar. Throw the beets in, too. Let them stew in your icebox for a month and enjoy them!!

Answer 5

They are very good for you. If you ate too many, it might tend to raise cholesterol but I think that risk is overblown.

Answer 6

sure, they're full of protein. I love them but I'm not much of a yolk person so I basically only eat the whites!

Answer 7

It works great if your stomach is upset.. My grandmother taught me that. It works great for a hangover also if you like to have a drink once in a while.

Answer 8

Sure, cut them up, put alittle may and you have egg salad..
