how the fuck do you cook a hard boiled egg

[Anonymous No.12461546]

to cook an egg on the side I don’t know how long to cook it but it’s still not going to happen again but in my life I have had to go back in the morning so I can get some food for the next couple of days

Just don’t buy GMO shit and boil it with a timer to desired doneness. Impossible to fuck up just use a timer

put eggs in medium pot,fill with water and heat to boiling, turn down heat to simmer and simmer covered for 20 minutes. cool the eggs down and shuck them, they're done.

You don't. You cook a raw egg. 12 mins

This picture is such bullshit. They just purposely overcooked the egg on the right and called it Ooga-booga-GMO.

[Anonymous No.12461615]

1 : get a small pot
2: put egg(s) into pot
3: fill water until 3/4 of the eggs height is covered in water. do not cover the eggs
4:bring pot to a boil
5: cover pot and set the burner to the absolute lowest setting
6: wait 9 minutes , less if you want a less hard yolk
7: put eggs into a bowl of ice water ( optional step )

[Anonymous No.12461683]

Boil water. Add whole egg in shell. Wait 10 minutes. Run faucet with cold water and rotate the egg in the cold water. Crack egg on flat surface. Remove the shell until the edible egg is exposed. Cut into whatever orientation and enjoy.

Grab an egg steamer on Amazon for cheap with a lot good reviews. No microwave shit

There's no better feeling than waking up, putting the little shits to steam, showering, and coming out to a couple perfectly cooked eggs that peel like a charm under a faucet. It's one of the few times Alton Brown's anti-unitasker creed can eat shit if you eat eggs daily

Put eggs in a pot.
Fill with water until it's an inch over the eggs.
Add a dash of vinegar.
Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, let them cook for one minute.
Remove from heat, cover, and let them sit for 12 minutes.

I promise you you'll have silky, golden yolks.

15 minutes is more than enough for a hard-boiled egg. 20 minutes is what old women with no taste buds or teeth boil their eggs for.

steam 12 minutes, put in ice water, done. perfect eggs every time.

[Anonymous No.12461895]

>>12461818
It's standard. The vinegar is unnecessary, but stops too much white from escaping if a shell cracks.

[Anonymous No.12462027]

Don't listen to any of these anons overcooking their eggs.

Place eggs in empty pot, fill with cold tap water until eggs are covered by about 1". Bring to a good rolling boil on the stove. Place lid on pot, remove from heat and let it sit for 10-13 minutes. 10 being sort of transparent in the middle of the yolk and 13 being solid/opaque all the way through. Immediately dunk eggs in ice bath and let them chill for a few minutes. The shells should peel right off in large pieces.

Plumbers are the retards of the construction world. Imagine spending your entire day working with shit. A typical day entails unclogging 4 toilets, then coming home to your wife who just had sex with Tyrone and wont fuck you because you have dried shit encrusted on your shirt.

For me, its HVAC, the big dicks of the construction world

This is like saying accountants only do tax returns. Plumbers weld, braze, design and install fresh water lines, and design and install gas lines. There are all kinds of plumbers. Sewage isn't all there is.

They're soft boiled in 6, medium boiled in less than 8, and hard boiled at 10. 12 minutes is nasty textured.
