I microwave my eggs on high for 2 minutes, then let stand 30 seconds.

I can poach eggs in the shell.

Pretty much what I’ve always done. I bring the water to a boil, and then turn it down to simmer. Five minutes for soft-boiled eggs, ten minutes for hard. No need for ice water, just cook them ahead of time and let them cool.

I don’t believe in wasting fuel. Once you bring water to a boil, it’s not going to get any hotter than 212 degrees, so what’s the purpose in keeping the gas turned up? Waste of money, unless you’re cooking something where the water has to be boiled away.

My Wife saw this on facebook:

"Bake at 325 for 30 minutes. Remove with Chef's Tongs and place in an ice bath immediately.

... This is by far the best way to make eggs! You can do 1 egg or 24 eggs...time and temp are the same! When I do this many eggs I just fill the sink with ice water and place them right in there. Eggs are SO EASY to peel, no sticking!

**Tip: Place them on their side on a mini muffin pan (on their side so the yolks stay in the middle)...mini muffin pan so they don't roll all over

If you do not need this many eggs you can also use your regular muffin pans."

Start with cold water. Place eggs in pan and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 12 minutes. Perfect and they peel super easy.

Hard boiled eggs:

Bring eggs to a rolling boil. Take them off the heat and let them set for 22 minutes in the water and covered pan. When time is up, pour out warm water and fill with cold water a few times until eggs are cool to touch. Tap egg on edge of counter, or table, roll slightly between palms, and remove shell starting at the wide end.

Since I’ve retired from teaching English to recalcitrant high schoolers, I’ve been teaching cooking classes as a part-time job.

Fool proof hard boiled eggs:

Place eggs in a heavy saucepot. Fill with cold water to at least an inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil. Immediately cover pot and remove from heat. Let sit until room tempeature.

They will be perfect with no dark rings around the yolk.

Peel under cold running water.

Ever since I got one of these:

I’d never do it any other way. I do hard-boiled eggs a lot. This is the ONLY way to do it. Simple. Almost zero cleanup. Shells are super easy to peel. I don’t usually go for kitchen gadgets, but this one really works and I use it all the time.

[P.O.E.]

Well, you start by, well, you don't start, you just take the square egg and, oh boy.

[SaraJohnson]

This is the way to do it:

Put eggs in pot of water on stove over high heat. Once they start boiling, ten minutes. Let them boil - non-vioently. Perfect every time.

[Mamzelle]

Foolproof--put your eggs in a large pot of cool water. Bring water to boil--then turn off heat and remove pot from heat. Cover. Allow everything to cool normally. Done--perfectly every time. Residual heat of the water finishes the cooking perfectly every time.

Honestly, that Salon article is truly stupid. Salon gets dumber and dumber.

Get a good hot oak fire going. Let it blaze until embered. Kill your hens out. Not the roosters. Place dead hens on coals. Cover with the top or bottom of a Webster. Wait till the big smoke clears, turn ‘em for three minutes. Wait for the smoke to clear. Tong ‘em out, and they peel easy. Eventually, the hell cooked egg is the prize. Don’t be a weak sister this easter. Show your family, who you are. Get to it.

Cool post.

[Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage]

I put my eggs in, press the button and wait for the beep. Perfect eggs every time.
