Avoiding the Bad Hardboiled Egg

You know the type, rubbery whites and a grayish-green coated chalky yolk.  They have the lovely smell of sulfur that fills an unsuspecting refrigerator.  They're the reason why some don't like hard boiled eggs.  It doesn't have to be this way people.  We can enjoy this healthy whole food in its fast food form.  It's all about heat.  Cook slowly so the yolk can keep up with the white.

1. Settle the eggs in a pot of cool water, covering by an inch or two.

2. Bring the water to a full boil.  Let eggs boil for one minute.

3. Remove the pot from the hot burner, add a lid, and wait 10 minutes.

4. Rinse eggs in cool water to halt the cooking process.

There you have it.  There's nothing hard about a good egg.
