Correct way to make hard boiled eggs?!
Ok, I feel like a moron for asking this, but I can't seem to get it right! I have looked it up online, and there are many different ways to do it!.
This is how I have made them the last 2 times!.!.!.the yolks didn't seem cooked enough, and the shells were a huge PITA to get off!.!.
Put eggs in pot of water, bring to boil!. When boiling, cover and remove to cold burner!. Let sit for 15 minutes!. Rinse with cold water until cold!.
How can I improve on this!?!? I am tired of getting my hands chewed up by the little fragments of eggshells that are coming off!?!?
Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The process sounds correct - I might let them sit 20 minutes!. The problem with the shells has nothing to do with the cooking method!. Fresh eggs cling to the shell, older eggs don't!. If you don't want them to stick you need to let your egg sit for a week or so!. I honestly have never looked at the expiration on a dozen eggs - we have chickens and I know the eggs can stay good for quite some time past the carton dates!. What are they!? about a week or so!? Anyway - that's the explanation for the sticky shells!.
On the other side of things - you can tell an egg has gone bad if it floats in water - similar reason to why fresh eggs are hard to peel!. As the egg ages the white slips free from the shell and settles creating an air pocket in the shell which causes the egg to float!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your hard boiled eggs should never smell like sulfer!.
Use fresh eggs (fresh eggs will not float)
Use room temperature eggs (They will not crack while cooking)
Place in pan of cold water!. Heat just till boiling (aids in letting eggs warm up slowely so they will not crack)
As soon as water boils!. Cover and romove from heat!.
Wait 15-18 minutes (no more)
Rinse in cold water (to stop the cooking process)
Peel under cold water (help shell come off in large pieces)
You can peel them as soon as they are cool enough to handle!.
Never will you smell sulpher or have green tinged egg yolks (both from overcooking)Www@FoodAQ@Com

When I boil them I put them in the (10) pot and:
cover with water
put on medium heat
once they boil, continue for 8 minutes
dump out water
put in some cool water (sometimes I do it in the sink and put some ice in too)

bring a pot of water to a boil and boil for 12 minutes!. do not remove off of heat!. once the 12 minutes are up place the egg in an ice water bath!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
eggs at least a week old peel better, the rest is how I do it, BUT I give them an ice water bath!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
boil for 15 minutes on low fire!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
