Default Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?

[ QUOTE ]
Trip Report:

1. Google Hard Boiled Egg (I am a 21 yr old male)

2. Place 3 delicious eggs in medium saucepan and cover with 1" extra of cold tap water. Bring to rolling boil, reduce heat to medium boil and anxiously wait 10 minutes. After 10 minutes place in the small saucepan which I cleverly filled with cold water (this prevents the inside from turning green , who knew!) Wait 3 more agonizing minutes...

3. Dry off eggs and try to peel them. These eggs are going very well with a Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat Ale. Peeling them was a task of moderate difficulty.

4. ...

5. Profit

You are severely overcooking them. This can hurt the taste.

A large egg will hardboil in 9 or 10 minutes when put in water that is already boiling. Put the egg in the boiling water, and count down from when the water starts to boil again.

Overcooking eggs can make the middle change taste, even get a sulfur type of smell/taste.
