From all the responses, I gather this is the best method for cooking a hardboiled egg. A little more work but worth it…
1) Bring eggs into the shower with you, showering at the hottest temperature you can stand, making sure to keep the eggs under the stream at all all times. After an hour…
2) Bring a pot of water to a boil, then turn off the heat and immerse the eggs, 1 teaspoon of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a rusty nail. Let sit until the eggs reach room temperature.
3) Insert the whole egg into your mouth (you may require the assistance of family members if you plan on eating more than one). Once the egg has reached body temperature (8-10 minutes to be sure) they will be much easier to peel.
4) Peel and enjoy.
5) Don’t throw away the egg shells! They make a great textural filler to my aunt’s half-the-sugar cookies. Recipe to follow.
