on 4/11/2009 I am trying to give you 5* and it's not letting me! Ugh!

on 4/11/2009 I needed this tonight! Thanks!

on 1/25/2009 How do you keep the shell from sticking to the white when you peel them? There has to be some trick to this.

on 1/24/2009 YOU CAN BRING WATER TO A BOIL FIRST AND LOWER EGGS IN or PLACE EGGS IN COLD WATER AND BRING TO A BOIL. Lower heat then cook for 10 minutes or take off heat for 15 minutes.
SETTING THE EGGS
If you put the boiled eggs in cold water with lots of ICE immediately, they will peel a bit easier and the membrane will separate from the egg shell and you will have a perfect egg
Also don't over cook your hardboiled eggs or a green ring will appear around the yellow - perfectly safe to eat but ugly when serving or making Deviled eggs!
We call them ANGEL EGGS in our house.

on 1/24/2009 FILLING DEVILED EGGS
One more tip - Place the yolks in a plastic baggie and the mayo too for deviled eggs - smush around into filling - then just cut a tip in a diagonal and gently squeeze the filling into the white halved egg cups.

on 12/1/2008 Thanks. No one ever taught me how to cook, so I have to look up even the simplest of recipes! It's important that I learn now because I have a son now. When I was 17, I had to call a friend's mom and ask her how to back a potato! I didn't know what temperature or for how long...lol.

on 1/21/2008 I didn't even know that there is a special way to boil eggs, thanks!!

on 8/12/2007 I followed the instructions exactly for a soft boiled egg and it didn't work. The eggs came out hard boiled.
Look elsewhere for soft boiled eggs with the wonderful (and forbidden) runny yolks!

on 5/24/2007 This always works for me when I boil 2-3 eggs...Place eggs in enough water to cover the eggs. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat enough to maintain the boil. Boil for 8 minutes. Drain water from pain and replace it with cold faucet water. Swirl eggs around with your hand for about 30 seconds. Remove the eggs, peel and enjoy. The yolk should be yellow throughout. If you ever have trouble peeling them just run more cold water over them for a few seconds.

on 5/24/2007 This alworks for me. Place eggs in water (This works for 2-3 eggs). Bring water to a boil and cook eggs for 8 minutes. After eggs have cooked, either let sit in cold water or run cold water from the faucet over them for about 30 seconds. Peel immediately and enjoy. The yolk will be yellow throughout.

on 5/2/2007 contrary to what petals says, you don't want your eggs to have too much room in the saucepan otherwise they will bump and crack during boiling
