Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard Boiled Eggs

Boiling eggs is a very easy task. Some times how long you boil it, you won't be getting the eggs fully boiled. If the eggs are boiled , the white yolk will be sticking to the outer shell, that we can't even use. I had this same problem when we were at Ireland. Heard if the eggs are fresh, this problem will arise. Found an excellent tip on net. Thought it will be very much useful . so sharing it..

1. crack the egg slightly in its flatter end using a spoon. Be careful not to break the egg.
2. Bring the water to boil in  a saucepan. When the water bubbles, reduce the flame.
3. Lay the eggs to the bottom of the saucepan with a spoon.
4. Close the lid of the sauce pan and leave the eggs undisturbed for 12 minutes.
5. Temperature is very important for this. keep in the temperature where the water is not bubbling, but there its still heating.
6. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to the bowl of cold water. Even tap water would be fine.
7. Peel it and use as required.
