I boiled two eggs. I would have boiled more eggs, but when I asked if anyone else wanted boiled eggs, they said they did not want boiled eggs.

I always boil one egg or three because I'm embarassed to boil two.
Just cut one in half before you boil it, so it feels Like you are boiling three, but only using two. And one of them is extra-big, so you should feel really excited—like, “Wow, look at how big this one egg is!”
I've never considered this.
What’s your process? I like to put the eggs in the pot first. Then I bring it to the sink and cover them with cold water. I put it on the stove and heat it up on high. When it boils I put the lid on and turn the heat off, and set a timer for 11 minutes. Now you may be thinking that’s way too hard, but the temperature is dropping without heat. Yolk is just barely solid in the center. Then I chill them with cold water and dry them off while they’re still warm, and put them in the fridge.
I figured out how to boil farm fresh eggs that peel easily. Bring water to boil, let eggs warm up on the counter. Once boiling put the eggs gently into the pot with a spoon. Bring back to a boil, cover pot, turn off heat, and let sit for 15 minutes for medium or 18 minutes for hard. While waiting, fill a big bowl with ice and water. Once eggs are done, spoon them immediately into ice water bath. They’re done when they’re cool to the touch.
I bought an egg cooker a few years ago. It cost about $15 and very quickly steams eggs with great results. The reason I bought it was because I thought it was a good, efficient way to handle smaller batches, but I found that for some reason it doesn't produce the foul egg smell that is typical with boiling eggs.

That sulfurous smell is associated with overcooking eggs. Sounds like the device you have doesn't overcook eggs.
Hehe, that guy has an egg cooker that can't overcook eggs.
I guess my egg timer wasn't so smart then. It's cute though.
Steaming in an Instant Pot at pressure works really well too.
I like boiled eggs. Fried eggs are also nice.
Poached are the best because when you cut them they cum
I heard this in Mitch Hedberg's voice. And it was bittersweet.
A good man gone too soon.
Clearly you are surrounded by fools.
Have you tried steaming eggs. Reduce the water, so it takes less time to come to a boil. The lack of submersion makes no difference to cooking time. Do cover the pot obviously.
Quicker cooking time. I think they make for better eggs too but thats opinion based.
Save water, save time.
I also think steamed eggs are better, and because they're not bouncing around in a boiling pot of water they tend to stay intact better.
Plus with a big enough steamer you can do dozens of eggs at once. Dozens!
This sounds very dangerous and so I’ve report your comment.
Thank you for your service
Hard boiled peeled eggs can be stored for up to five days in a ziplock in the refrigerator. You can go wild next time. I wonder if there's a community for that...
i personally just put them unpeeled in the fridge and then skip the peeling process entirely when i go to eat them.
instead of peeling them, i smack them on the outside with a spoon to create a crack, then rip the eggs in half. afterwards, i can use the spoon to scoop out the insides of each half. usually takes me way less time than peeling, but im also not very good at peeling
Soft boiled or hard boiled?
That’s really up to the eggs…
Eggs take the wheel.
I would like some boiled eggs :(
Please send a self-addressed envelope. It will have to be inside another envelope. But that one should have my address—the one on the outside.
I can’t give you my address, but I’m on one of the continents and via process of elimination, you’ll get it eventually.
It might take a while, so you should probably remind me by including a note that you want the boiled eggs.
It might sound like you would end up sending letters asking for eggs to everyone on earth, but unless I’m the last address you send to, that seems pretty unlikely.
I promise fast boiled-egg shipping once I receive the self-addressed envelope (inside the envelope with my address that arrives at my address). You may need to plan to receive other eggs from other people at other addresses, if they respond to your boiled-egg request attempts.
Apologies in advance, I have a policy of not dealing in hollandaise.
This is an acceptable way to eat eggs, though I do not care for it on a personal level.
I’ve had that as a framed needlepoint above my stove since the war.
