How to hard "boil" an egg, redux
About a year ago I wrote a post on how to hard boil an egg. It involves not actually boiling them, plus some other more complicated details.
I’ve discovered a new, refined method. It’s both simpler and more
effective. It involves slightly fewer steps than the previous seven step
process:
- Stick them in a steamer
I was steaming some things anyway and wanted to make some eggs, so it
occurred to me to wonder whether steaming would work. Some googling lead
me to this post which I promptly proceeded to not really pay much
attention to now that I knew the concept worked. I literally just put
the eggs in the steamer basket, waited about 10-15 minutes, took them
out again and they were perfect.
