So, on Monday, when I went to create that weirdly delicious summer salad I told you about, I ran into a snag. I don't know how I've gotten by so long without knowing how to hard boil eggs, but somehow, I have.
I had to call my Grandma, who will turn 87 years-old on Saturday. She is my go-to contact with all basic cooking questions, like how to make a white sauce, or how long to roast a particular kind of meat, and at what temperature. And here is what she told me:
- cover the eggs with water
- bring the water to a boil
- turn the heat down to medium and simmer eggs for 10 min.
- immediately dump the eggs into a bowl of cold water and let them cool
- ta-da! hard-boiled eggs.
I feel smarter, and even a little more grown-up for knowing this. If you knew it already, good for you. If you didn't, now you know;)
