HOW THE HELL do you hardboil eggs???

Really.. I swear i'm not a total retard... but this is ridiculous.

yesterday, at my moms instructions, i placed 2 dozen eggs in boiling water and left them there for like 15minutes. Then I took them off, ran them under cold water so they'd stop cooking, and i cracked one open... AND it was still raw!

So today, I searched and found that it said to start with cold water bring to a "rolling" boil and then cook them for an additional 10 minutes.

Well folks.. these puppies have been in hot water for like an hour now.. and i just checked one, and its STILL not done! WTF?!

so... anyone else have any ideas?

i stand corrected.

I am an idiot. I just re-read the online instructions and apparently i skipped the capital letters that said boil the water over HIGH heat , then reduce heat to medium/low for an extra 10minutes. Hmmm...

But here's the next part of the question....

How do you make deviled eggs??

For large eggs, place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot and fill it with water covering them by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil. As soon as it comes to a boil, take the pot off the burner, cover it and let the eggs sit in the water for 15 minutes. When the time is up, run the eggs under cold water. Keep changing the water so you stop the cooking process and until the eggs are cool. You could also place them in a bowl of ice water.

The only thing I'm wondering is what size eggs you used, if they were in a single layer and if you had the pot covered while it sat. Other than that, Mom is right. She probably told you all that.

Deviled Eggs...there are a lot of variations. This is the basic kind from the Betty Crocker cookbook. Every time I make them, there are none leftover.

6 hard cooked eggs
1/4 cup mayo
1 t. vinegar
1 t. mustard
1/8 t. salt

Halve the eggs lengthwise, remove yolks and mush them with a fork. Stir in mayo, then the rest of the ingredients. Stuff egg whites with the yolk mixture, garnish with paprika.

I've never tried it with anything other than white vinegar. It's really useful for cleaning stuff around the house too. But, if you need to make them tonight, I don't know what to tell you other than maybe look for another recipe online.

I follow the same recipe without the vinegar. What kick does that add? Sounds good.

Apple cider vinegar shouldn't alter the taste too much.

Oh, and sprinkle the tops with paprika. It makes them pretty.

With water in a herd boil the large bubbles keeps breaking the contact between the egg and water that’s why they are not cooking. As other have said once at that point bring the temp down

I cook mine much longer then whats needed 30 min over medium to medium high, then once the pans cool enough I just stick it in the fridge. For some reason they are easier to peel. I hate hate hate picking 500 little pieces of egg shell off one egg.

Deviled eggs

cut in half
take the yucky yolk and put in bowl
mix with mayo and mustard
add garlic salt, pepper, anda bit of banana pepper juice
Stir until the yolk stuff gets creamy
put creamy stuff in hole of egg
sprinkle with paprika
place a thin olive slice on top
eat
gain alot of weight cause you ate the whole 2 dozen
go for a walk to get rid of a tenth of the calories you just consumed

Ah, that all depends at what altitude she lives. Water boils at different temps.
But boiling water is still boiling water...........Ah forget it my head hurts
