HOW TO BOIL PERFECT EGGS

HOW TO BOIL PERFECT EGGS

INGREDIENTS:

 1 to 6 EGGS  

THE METHOD:

NOTE:  Prepare a ice water for when the eggs are finished cooking.

1. Fill a pot with enough water that when you put your eggs in they are totally submerged.

2. Find out how big or small your eggs are by measure them.  

If your eggs 2 inches in length and 1/2 inches wide. You will boil it for 10 minutes.

If your eggs are one inch smaller (1 inch 1/2) you will cook it for 9 minutes. And even smaller 8 minutes.

If your eggs are one inch bigger (3 1/2) you will cook it for 11 minutes. And even bigger 12 minutes.

Now if your eggs are eggzactly 2 inch, 3 inches or 4 inches in length.  Use the same method above.

3.  Put eggs in water and turn burner to high.  DO NOT START THE TIMER UNTIL THE WATER IS BOILING.  So make sure you are near by watching your eggs.

4. Let the eggs boil all the way though the cooking time.

5. Next remove the eggs from the pot and dunk them into ice water and let them cool down.

6. Cracking your eggs.   Gently knock the egg on the counter breaking both the top and bottom.   As you peel your egg hold it under cold running water, this helps.  As you remove the outer shell you will see a membrane, if you get that to come off the egg will peel real easy.

7. TROUBLE SHOOTING. 
 1.  If you see your eggs boiling and one looks likes spider web gone wrong. This is because the egg had a tiny hair line fracture in it.   This is ok.  

2.  Depending on the age of the egg, newer eggs will be easier to peel and old egg will be a little more difficult.
