Tips for Guys: Boiling Eggs

Thing I Notice: Raw Eggs Are Disgusting

My Pet Peeves: Given a choice between

1. mixing up a raw egg in a blender with celery or God knows whatever disgusting concoction and trying to choke that down without gagging or hurling, then cleaning the blender and wherever I just hurled, or
2. just eating a nicely peeled hard-boiled egg on my morning walk,

do you even have to ask what I'm going to do?

Tips for Guys: I learned how to boil eggs by Googling "how to boil eggs".  That may even be how you found this post.  Let me make it quick and dirty for you:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly and often just before boiling the eggs, chilling the eggs, peeling the eggs, and eating the eggs.  Trust me, hand washing is a whole thing!  If the women in your life notice that you take the time to wash your hands the way you are supposed to, they will be subtly impressed and will thank you for it in powerful ways.  And wouldn't you rather just get that detail right the first time than be nagged about it?  You'll thank me later, like every time you glance at the refrigerator and DON'T find an article on hand washing!
2. Find a pot that's the right size for 6 eggs.  If you have 2 eggs a day first thing in the morning, you'll be set for 3 days.  Trying to cook more eggs at once takes longer, uses more energy, and is just a big hassle.  But if you want to boil 3 dozen eggs, go for it, bro!  Don't worry about the little lady: she can boil a pot of water, can't she?!
3. Put enough cold water in a pot or pan (pots! pans! what's the difference?) to cover the eggs by about an inch.  Put a little table salt or sea salt in the pot.  Experiment over time to find out how much salt works best for you.  Keep in mind that the altitude at which you cook the eggs can affect your results, so if you travel from the mountains to the plains to the beach and back again, that can be a factor.
4. Bring the eggs, water, and salt in the pot to a boil over high heat (roughly 9 or 10 minutes).  Let them boil for just a minute or so, then remove the pot from the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about half an hour or so.  Be careful where you put the pot!  You could just turn off the heat and leave the pot on the burner on the stove.
5. Transfer the eggs from the pot that had the formerly hot water into a container for the fridge.  Just cover the eggs with cold water, put them in the fridge, and let them cool down for an hour or 3.  Dump the water, peel the eggs, put them back in a container in the fridge, and eat them when you're ready.  You can experiment with different condiments, like salt or terigen mist, until you find the flavor combination that works for you.
