How To Boil Eggs

YumSugar — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 09:58:19 -0700

Growing up my favorite part of Easter was decorating the eggs (okay, actually, it may have been the chocolate bunnies, but eggs were right up there). Even now that we're grown up, whenever my family has the opportunity to be together for Easter, we always end up boiling up a batch and dying them. Just in case I'm not the only one who's into dying eggs, I thought I'd give you a few tips on how to boil eggs.

Place eggs in a saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by 1 inch.
On high heat, bring to a boil.
Cover pan, remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes (3-4 for soft-boiled and 5-6 for medium-boiled).
While eggs are sitting, fill a medium bowl with ice and water.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer eggs from pan to ice bath. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Remove from ice bath and enjoy!

Do You Eat Hard Boiled Eggs?

On average, I eat about three hard boiled eggs per week. They're easy to transport and make a great snack or quick breakfast. I also enjoy throwing them into salads or sandwiches. Whenever my eggs are about to go bad, I simply boil them and that way, I know they won't go to waste. How about you?

Packaged Hard-Boiled Eggs: Cool or Not?

FitSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:00:00 -0700

The company Eggology, known for selling pasteurized egg whites, is now selling packaged hard-boiled eggs - $1 for two eggs. They're cage-free, organic, and pre-cooked and peeled, so if you enjoy eggs for breakfast, in your salad at lunch, or as a pre-workout snack, you don't have to boil or peel their shells off. Not that boiling and peeling an egg is that difficult, but anything that makes it easier to eat healthy seems like a plus. So are you eggcited about these pre-cooked eggs?

How Long Do Raw and Hard-Boiled Eggs Keep?

YumSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:00:41 -0700

The answer to this question may surprise you: while uncooked eggs typically last four to five weeks when properly refrigerated, hard-boiled eggs will only last about a week. This is because egg shells, which are highly porous, are sprayed before sale with a thin coating of mineral oil that seals the egg. Boiling the egg washes this coating away, however, leaving the shell susceptible to bacteria.

These Eggs Remove the Guess Work

Thanks to modern science, you will no longer have to wonder exactly when your soft-boiled, medium-boiled or hard-boiled egg is ready. Why's that? Because the egg is going to tell you itself! Okay, so it's not going to shout out and say "Hey, I'm ready!" but it will have magical (aka science) invisible ink that turns black the minute it is ready. You just have to decide which sort of notification you'd like before you purchase your eggs.

Now if you're wondering why they're doing this:

A spokeswoman for Lion Quality Eggs, the [British Egg Information Service]’s quality assurance scheme, said: “We had a lot of inquiries. We said OK, this is a big issue - people can’t even boil an egg.”

So there you have it. The eggs will hit UK markets this fall. No word on whether or not they'll cost more.

Off to Market Recap: Egg Cups

partysugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 06:50:06 -0700

Easter is around the corner and I've got eggs on the brain. With its runny yolk and just cooked white, a soft boiled egg is one of my favorite breakfasts. However, I rarely treat myself to them because I don't own any egg cups. Every time I make a soft boiled egg, I eat it out of a shot glass! Since I'm 27 and a half, it's time I grow up and get some egg cups. I asked you to help me by heading off to market in search of egg-cellent egg cups.

You bookmarked the cups in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Egg Cups. Originally I wanted bold, colored, or printed cups, but I've decided the simple elegance of these plain white egg cups is refreshing. I prefer white servingware because it makes the dish pop and is better for food photography. Thanks to bengalspice for saving these delightful egg cups.

Snack Attack: Not So Devilish Eggs

FitSugar — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 09:00:00 -0800

Ingredients:
1 dozen eggs
1 16 oz. container of Hummus (you can go with any variety you want)
A few pinches of Paprika
A handful of slivered almonds

*Hard boil the eggs. Cut the eggs in halves (length-wise) and remove the yolk. Fill the hole where the yolk was in each half with a scoop of hummus. Top with a few raw, slivered almonds and a pinch of paprika. Do this for each egg half.

Why we like it: Deviled eggs are a typical and easy snack but hardly a healthy one due to the yolk and mayonnaise concoction that makes the deviled egg so devilish.
Hummus (rather than a yolk-mayo mixture) cuts the fat and adds iron.
Paprika adds a bit of Lycopene.
Almonds provide some good fats (yup, such a thing exists) that help lower cholesterol.
Egg whites are always a great source of protein.

*How to hard boil an egg: Put all the eggs in a pot and cover fully with cold water. Cook until water boils. Then boil the eggs for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from heat and rinse under cold water.

Talk about a healthy snack.
