Boiled Eggs

[bornblueegg]

Now I'm not a total twat in the kitchen, in fact I do all the cooking at home.
Casseroles, Cottage Pie, Spag Bol, Lasagne, roast dinners, Curry(yuck), Chilli, Fajitas . I can cook more or less anything. All homemade with fresh ingredients, nothing from a tin.

Apart from boiled eggs, I don't know why I even try because they always turn out undercooked/overcooked or burst in the pan.
I've been onto Delia's website and countless others but even if I follow their instructions to the letter, I still fuck it up.


Fucking egg bastards!

Easy, some of us are good eggs:)

Sorry, why the hell would you put salt in the water?

You don't eat the shell.

Alters the boiling point of the water, same as throwing salt on Ice lowers the freezing point

To keep the egg from breaking so the egg can cook within the shell??? Makes Sense !!

According to the internet the amount of salt required to make more than a negligable difference is so vast as to render putting some salt in the pan worthless.

As soon as any of the salt dissolves in the water, the boiling point of the water will begin to rise -- by about one half degree Celsius for every 58 grams of salt dissolved per kilogram of water.

Note: Do not add salt to water. The salt will raise the boiling point of the water making the egg whites rubbery

I cook my eggs in the bath and use four sacks of salt per egg though ;o)

(I dont have them often though)

I always like mine as the nice hard white and a soft yolk, yet I always end up with hard as fuck twats that could smash windows.
