Your Jr. Chef can make perfectly cooked eggs-in-the-shell Hard-boiled eggs? No. Hard-cooked eggs? No… here are Perfect Eggs. From Matthew Card, food writer and CI contributing editor: Contrary to popular belief, there is no reason to boil an egg, which all but guarantees a chalky yolk ringed in sulfurous green. Here’s how to do it: cover the eggs in water, bring the pot to the barest simmer, remove from the heat, cover, and set a timer. A 9-minute repose will yield eggs with a tender white and creamy, just-cooked through yolk. Perfect eggs every time. Parental supervision. Beyond egg salad, deviled (angel-ed) eggs, in potato salad or sliced in a sandwich, what can you do with Perfect Eggs? Creative ideas from Thailand, England, China, Canada, Philippines, India, Estonia, more, covering Scotch eggs, pickled beet eggs, tea eggs, salted eggs, egg curries, eggs in meatloaf, kedgeree, soup garnish, cookies, more. http://www.blogher.com/what-make-leftover-hard-boiled-eggs-ten-new-ideas
