For a couple of days now, JewelGeek’s boss, EvilPXE, has been regaling her with the intricate details of one of life’s biggest mysteries… how to properly boil eggs. Seriously. Apparently there is great magic in the process. When done well, the hard boiled egg will peel easily, rendering its succulent egginess eagerly to the awaiting connoisseur.
He shared his expertise whenever he started peeling a new egg. After 45 minutes, JewelGeek asked how many eggs he had.
EvilPXE: I have six. I eat three at a time.
And on the next day…
EvilPXE: See, this one has just a little bit of moisture on the inside of the egg and that just makes the difference.
JewelGeek doesn’t even like eggs. They make her gag. I’m pretty sure these last couple of days rank right up there with root canal for her…

Apparently the best recipe is to just boil them and stick them in a ziplock baggie for work. Don't run them under cold water, put them in ice or anything. They peel just fine--you don't get the big gaping chunks out of egg white if you do it this way. The only benefit to running them in a pot of cold water with ice cubes is that the yolk doesn't turn green on the outside. Yeah, like that's important to the taste and all. It tastes just the same. And then there's that little layer of water that gets kept inside which lets you peel the egg right down the middle. Just roll it a bit and it cracks down the middle and then you can pull the whole top off without difficulty and the the bottom part comes off, too...
Boss isn't here today. Can't wait for Monday...
