But just in case he’s serious here’s my Blackstone Szechuan stir fry from last week

That’s why I’m the cook in this family. That and my wife can’t boil an egg.

How do you boil your egg? After years of doing it wrong I found on a method that peels them perfectly 100% of the time.

ok @NVGator I’m inserting a photo this time. How do you boil your eggs?

 

[NVGator]

I boil water, add eggs and boil for about 10 minutes. Then run cold water over them to cool them down.

That’s how I used to do it but had a 50/50 shot of them not peeling smoothly. Even tried adding vinegar. Have you tried steaming them instead?

No

@CDGator Did you want to elaborate or was it just a close ended question?

Sorry, I edited the post above with a link but I think you had already quoted me.

Double boiler steam pot with an inch of water. Bring to a boil first, then put in eggs to steam for 11 minutes. Drop in an ice bath when finished. Perfectly peeled eggs every time.

Interesting. In the video it looked as if they still are touching the boiling water in his steaming basket.

as mentioned, I boil water first, then add eggs, then run cold water over the pot to remove the heat. I’ve heard ice can help.

In my experience, I also peel under running cold water whenever you peel them and don’t have issues. For instance, if you are peeling an Easter egg that’s been dyed and sitting in the fridge for a while, just peel under a little running cold water.

I have done the eggs in water and then bring to boil. No buéno.

These will still peel nicely if they’ve been in the fridge for several days too.

here’s my Blackstone Szechuan stir fry from last week

Hmmmm…..if you and Seedy started packing now, how long would it be before you all and the flat top could be in Georgia? I’m north of ATL, so you can leave driving through that mess out of your calculations. I’ll happily buy the stuff needed from Kroger.

Can it wait a week? I’ll drop it (Blackstone and kids) off on my way to Tally next week. If you throw in the shrimp then I might stay for an hour but the kids will need a place for the week.

Kids…..hmmmm……

My Lab turns 1 in a week; do you think that’s old enough to baby sit your kids? She’s very responsible….for a dog.
