Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader wants to direct you to a great post. It is by our Loyal Minion Bill. It is about boiling eggs. It is fantastic.

Bill knows his eggs. Bill could probably write a show for Alton Brown about eggs. (Frankly, Alton should do a show on eggs.)

Your Maximum Leader’s technique for egg boiling is very similar to Bill’s. Your Maximum Leader covers the eggs in cold water and then brings them to a boil. After the water comes to a strong boil, he turns off the heat (on electric ranges) or turns down the heat to a simmer (on gas ranges). He lets the eggs sit in the water for slightly more than 10 mintues. Then they go into cold water - or sometimes an ice bath. Your Maximum Leader generally prefers his yolks on the soft and orange side. And he rarely keeps boiled eggs on hand.

Go and read Bill’s piece. Your Maximum Leader is sure you will enjoy it and learn something.

Carry on.
