Now that Free Republic is up again - and that's a darn good thing - what size eggs should I buy?

[Fhios]

I buy my eggs hard boiled. It’s not expensive. I have 14 chickens 8 laying eggs and the other 4 soon. I drown in eggs but can’t ever peel’em when I hard boil them.

Negative.
Everyone knows that you have to realign the beams for maximum effect.
And teleporting jumbo double yolks is a terrible idea.

Use large or extra large size eggs at room temp eggs with a timer. 3 1/2ish minutes for soft boiled without slime. I get serious about some things. Always food related.

Love over easy with ketchup. Scrambled with smoked salmon and hollandaise and a shot of lemon and chives is fab!

Here I thought you were asking advice on what size eggs to throw at rotten politicians. The best size for that purpose is the one you can throw the farthest and with the most accuracy.

That chicken should fry for that crime.

Ironically my cholesterol is low despite the fact that I have multiple eggs just about every day. I actually prefer the eggs fried over easy but for portability, nothing beats the hard boiled egg. I take them to work most every day and have them with a tin of King Oscar sardines - another superfood.

I think the bad rap eggs get (for cholesterol) is undeserved. Actually in the absence of eating cholesterol, your body will make its own cholesterol. So you can't really avoid cholesterol. The key is eating healthy and exercising regularly.

Making the perfect hard boiled egg is difficult. All too often, people overcook boiled eggs and the result is an unappetizing rubbery egg with the yolk surrounded by a green ring.

I find the best way is to let the eggs come to room temperature and then cover under an inch or so of water. Put in one of those egg timer things as seen on TV. I bring the water and eggs to a boil and let it boil for about 60 seconds. Then heat goes off as soon as the egg timer gets to the soft line. Then once the egg timer get to the line between soft and medium, I pour out the hot water and cover the eggs in cold water. After about 60 seconds, I remove the eggs from the pot and put them back in the carton.

At that point, you have near perfect boiled eggs most of the time. The egg yolk remains soft and moist and is actually orange (not yellow) in the center and slightly watery. That is the perfect boiled egg.

Sous Vide your eggs. Anything you want. Runny yolks and firm white. Firm yolk and runny whites. Yolks like golf balls and clear runny white that is great for making meringue.. . Anything....

What size eggs should I buy?

The larger the egg the older the hen it came from.

French scrambled eggs are the best b/c of the technique.

Break eggs into a dish——stir gently three or four times to break the yolks.

DO NOT beat them into oblivion before cooking.

Gently add a dollop of sour cream or crème fraiche.

Then cook in butter or oil just done-—preferably undercooked-—still shiny.

Serve seasoned w/ s/p.

If you had, “enormes huevos” you would have put this in breaking news. I will refer you to my egg blog for the answer,
