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.

About Me

Welcome to A Delicious Food Blog!  My name is Laura, and I am a home cook.  I love to learn new techniques and recipes by browsing unique cookbooks courtesy of my well worn library card.  I'm drawn to regional cuisine.  I love learning about the traditions that inspired a dish.  I am adventurous in what I will try, but I also like to honor the classics.  The regulars at my table each night include my history student husband, my toddler son who will eat anything if there's a dip next to it, and my baby daughter who's still warming up to the idea of solids.  Welcome to my table, and I hope you enjoy my cooking tips and recipes on A Delicious Food Blog!
