This is making me hungry.

same here, I just set the timer for 8 minutes, run the egg under cold water, peel it, slice it, add salt and pepper and eat with a slice of toast.....now I'm starting to feel peckish.

I peel them as they're eaten, they last longer that way.

Yes, they'll spoil faster if they are peeled at once. 3-4 days peeled. Unpeeled they'll last a good week and a half (I personally wouldn't keep them longer than that).

I'll continue to peel as I eat them then!

I like hard boiled eggs...don't know why I never think to make some.

It's faster and tastier to just fry some over easy.

Faster still to just crack em in a glass and drink em.

Not true.

You can hard boil 12 eggs with about a minute of effort. Plus it requires almost no watching, and tastes good days down the line without the need to cook (can eat on the road)!

If you have 5 mins to make breakfast, you can make fried eggs... You can't make hard boiled eggs.

Long term, man!

Bring water to a boil. Take a needle and poke a hole in the fat end of the egg. Don't go deep, just through the shell. Gently and slowly lower the eggs into boiling water with a spoon. The air now has a way to escape and the eggs won't crack unless you put them in too fast.

Boil 8 minutes or so, depending on your elevation.

Lazy? Want an omelette/scrambled eggs asap? Break eggs into bowl. Add a bit of milk stir it up. Add whatever you want. Microwave on low , stir after a minute or so.
