Boiled Eggs Recipe

To boil an egg would seem to be the easiest matter possible, but it

requires care just the same. Scarcely any two people in a family like

eggs cooked the same length of time, and so, after ascertaining the way

each one prefers, have the water boiling hard, and then check by adding

a little cold water so that the shells will not crack from the heat. Put

in the eggs carefully with a tablespoon, to prevent striking each other,

boil the required number of minutes and remove each when its time is up,

sending to the table at once. Hard boiled eggs, to be digestible, should

be kept just at the boiling point for thirty minutes. The yolks will

then be mealy.
