It looks like half an egg and is clear. The inside shows several rings, all the way to the middle which says 'hardboiled'. YOu watch the rings turn color and take it off the heat when you reach the ring you want (soft, medium, hard).<br />Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-12526027782277784252013-06-07T13:11:15.239-04:002013-06-07T13:11:15.239-04:00Yeah, we need a blog post on THAT trick, Jan. :)Yeah, we need a blog post on THAT trick, Jan. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-79255128164526101092013-06-07T12:02:18.475-04:002013-06-07T12:02:18.475-04:00Were you holding your mouth right?

Recently as I was making egg salad--and only had a half dozen eggs so was trying to make it stretch to have enough, I found myself losing precious hunks of my egg whites! When that email came the following week, I decided I needed to do a post so I could always look it up to remind myself. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-68627192971150146842013-06-07T11:12:55.355-04:002013-06-07T11:12:55.355-04:00They also said on this post to rinse immediately i...They also said on this post to rinse immediately in cold water. My sister recently told me NOT to use fresh eggs. (as we stood peeling eggs that had shell sticking to them). :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-34301296159133698882013-06-07T10:21:24.848-04:002013-06-07T10:21:24.848-04:00There must be 1001 ways to boil eggs!

Then rinse in cold water.<br /><br />I rarely have problems with the white peeling off with the shell, but it still happens sometimes. I've heard all kinds of theories of why it happens, from the freshness of the eggs to the way you cook them.<br /><br />I think it's how you hold your mouth while you peel them....Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-5686029819255825002013-06-07T10:09:48.937-04:002013-06-07T10:09:48.937-04:00Somebody showed me this centuries ago.

And it mostly works. I still get the occasional crack but it's rare.<br /><br />And I love using my fresh chicken eggs!

It always cracks and explodes in the boiling water --- gross! -- or the yolk turns black. So not pretty for deviled eggs! But like you I was dropping the eggs into the boiling water. I'll have to give this a try.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
