Poke a hole on one side with a fork before dropping it into salted boiling water

>>10474326

>>10474405
*8

>>10474413
Excuse me, I wrote 10 because 10 is what you want

ok anon this is the 101 on boiling eggs to a perfect hard boil

boil 750mL of water then throw half away
put the eggs in
turn off the stove
wait 3min
turn the stove back on untils it boils again
then repeat the same process 5 or 6 times (japanese masters do it for about 10times)
be careful to not let your water hard boil more than 15seconds or it wont taste the same

goodluck my young apprentice

1. Put eggs in the pot covered with at least 1 inch of water
2. Turn the stove on.
3. Come back and see that it's boiling.
4. Immediately turn off.
5. Cover with a lid. Do not remove from stove.
5. Set timer for 15 minutes.
6. Remove from stove and submerge in cold water for a little bit.
7.Peel
8.???
9. Profit

1.) Add 1 cup water
2.) Add steam rack
3.) Add eggs
4.) Cook at low pressure for 10 minutes
5.) Quick release
6.) Cover in cold water for 3 minutes

bring water to boil
add eggs
boil for 3 minutes
take it off the heat and cover. move to a cool burner
leave covered ten minutes
then strain and into an ice bath

*5 on my stove.
Anything more and you get green/gray yolks.

>get large pot
>put small metal bowl about half the size of the pot face down inside, leaving about a 1 and a half inch gap between the bottom of the bowl and the sides of the pot
>put eggs on this gap
>fill with cold water until eggs are one inch submerged
>heat until bubbles begin to form and keep at this heat for 2 hours (no boiling)
wa la

>>10474246
I just made one.
Put the egg in the pot and cover with water. Put the pot on the stove.
Bring the water up to a boil. Once boiling, immediately take the pot off the stove.
Cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Run the egg under cold water for 30-60 seconds, and peel.
Wa-la!

>>10474246
Have you tried cracking the eggs over boiling water?

You want a legit "cant possibly fuck it up" method? Get a plastic container, put in eggs, fill enough just to cover them with water

microwave for 10 minutes, no lid

>>10474660
Yabba Dabba Don't do this

>>10474246
Prick a hole in the bottom (the round end) with a thumb tack.
Boil water with a splash of white vinegar
Gently lower the eggs in with a spoon
Boil for 8 minutes
Run cold water over them and peel

>>10474643
This works although if eggs are at room temp, 8 min rest max.

>>10474781
Sure. I'm in Canada and we have to put our eggs in the fridge, so adjust rest time if your eggs are room temp.

>>10474705
This. Despite what trolls might tell you, puncturing an egg with a needle will not work with an egg. That trick only works with grapes and cherry tomatoes.

>>10474487
This one.

Bring a pot of water to a full boil, drop in eggs, wait 30 sec, lower heat to low, cover, time it for 11 minutes for hard boiled. LITERALLY perfect every time.

How do you burn a boiled egg?

>>10474990
heat

>>10475009
Burning food implies combusting it. You arent going to combust an egg by boiling it, moron

>>10474246
Only use large eggs, not jumbo. Put room temp eggs into already boiling water for exactly 7 minutes then shock in ice water

>>10474749
Das it main

>>10475024
>You arent going to combust an egg by boiling it
you can with heat.

>>10474429
It isn't if you get green yolks. Do you get green yolks?

>>10474246
Buy it from the store

>>10474246
with electricity

>>10474246
A steamer actually.

>>10475056
You will literally boil the water away before even coming close to burning a boiled egg

>>10474990
>be me
>boil some eggs
>leave thinking I'll be back in six minutes
>smell smoke
>roommate must be burning something
>it gets worse
>something explodes
>I go to investigate
>kitchen is thicc with smoke
>eggs are black rocks now
>smells bad
>panic
>throw eggs out the window with the pot

>>10475268
this, you actually have to boil all the water away first before the temperature can rise above 100 degrees Celsius
it's the latent heat of vaporization of water

>>10475268
I've done that actually.

>>10475283
>this, you actually have to boil all the water away first
yeah, you do that with heat.

>>10475289
The point is that you can't burn an egg by boiling it, stop being obtuse

>>10474246
There is no such thing as a perfect hardboiled egg.
Make softboiled instead.

>boil eggs
>burning them

I... Never even thought you could burn a boiled egg... Is this joke?

>>10474487
This produces the best results consistently. Since you are heating the eggs and the water at the same time it doesn't overcook them.

>Filling up a lot of water
>boiling an egg
Steam the egg
Fill pot with an inch of water. Put eggs in. Turn on heat to high. Cover with lid. I'm 5- 6 min you'll have perfectly hard boiled eggs. Less time for soft boiled. This also depends on your burners btu output.

>>10474246
Both burned and hard-boiled are equally trash. Once the yolk is solid you've destroyed the nutrients and worse the heat has oxidized the cholesterol, which form is deadly for the body. Runny yolk is what you're looking for to get the benefits of eating eggs. Also remove egg whites if you are worried about leaky gut as the lysozymes in egg whites which protect the yolk from pathogens by destroying their cell walls tear holes in the gut lining. I now only use raw egg yolk to make mayo.

>>10474246
microwave them for 3 minutes

>>10474246
How in the hell are you BURNING boiled eggs ?

>>10476973
With heat.

>>10474246
>perfect hard boiled egg
Steamer insert, boiling water, put eggs in the steamer, cover, 12 minutes later: perfect hard boiled egg.

explain to me why you would steam instead of boil?
these are not vegetables that lose taste and vitamins upon boiling.

>>10474246
I eat them raw :)

>>10474643
This

i only like the shell

senseless waste to not plant them and grow a whole chicken.

>>10475283
>you have to boil the water away before it can get above 100C
That isn't true in the slightest. The water can easily be over 100C without turning into steam. At 100C, specifically the medium between water and air will steam, at a rate based on surface area and temperature.

>>10476853
Even better
>add an inch or so of water
>bring to boil
>add steamer with eggs
>cover
10-12 minutes for hard boiled, 5-7 for softer
no guess work needed

>>10474246
If you burn them, just put them in the freezer to reverse the burn
add heat = burn
add cold = raw
just gotta leave it out in the sun for the perfect eog

>>10474246
Steam them. Get a steaming basket, out you're eggs in it, steam the eggs for 10-11 minutes, drop them in I've water to stop the cooking process, peel and eat.

WA LA!

Cold water + salt +eggs + 14 mins on med-high heat. Easy

>>10481478
Would that leave the yolk soft?

>>10474246
>boiled egg without burning them?
>boiled
>burn
Nigga, are you stupid?

Steam them instead. Boiling is for plebs.
