My wife insists that a very small hole must be poked in one end to prevent the shell from cracking during cooking. She requires a device like this:
so my fellow wonderful people, Do you poke or do you not poke?
and furthermore, have you ever even heard of this?

Slow heat to a steady boil.
What would happen when given the laws of physics ? Poke a hole in a raw egg, and make her try that experiment. Save yourself twenty bucks on a silly gadget?
On their sudes( so the yolk stays in the middle) bake at
365 degrees for twenty minutes. Then IMMEDIATELY put them
In ice water for 5 minutes. Super easy peeling, no cracks!!
:-) I have a cheap dye trick too, if ya need it!
:nono: That would mean my whole family and lots of people in Germany are crazy ...
In order to prevent this:
You "trepanate" the egg, so to speak, in order to prevent it from cracking under the pressure (just like some people do when they have problems with their heads ...). Nothing of the insides leaks, the thin skin around the egg, the egg sack or whatever that is called, stays intact.
Everybody I know has an egg piercer and uses it. This is how I know it. And I am stunned that you cannot find them here and that everybody seems to cook them without it.
but then I discovered the soft boiled egg
I've never had to use this type of device. But for those that need it, I guess it's necessary. I didn't know the OP's wife was from Germany. I live in a lower altitude and things cook different. :oops: Sorry.
Cook over Med-to medium high heat until they just come to a rolling boil,
Remove from heat a let them stand in the water until water has cooled.
Their shell will be perfect,and peel perfect also.

Salt & pepper, and NO runny whites.
(sounds racist
chadwick! My failsafe hardboiling method:
No poking (that's not what she said)
Cover eggs with cold water, add salt and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, cover and let sit for 13 minutes.
Icebath those fuckers, peel under running water and voila!
Place eggs in a pot. Cover with cold water, add salt as it increases the boiling point.
Bring up toa boil over medium heat. As soon as it boils, turn off the heat and let sit for 15 mins. Take out and place in ice water. Peals perfect, doesn't crack in the water.
In Germany, I had something like this, worked like a charm. I like my boiled eggs medium, with a softish yolk, but firm white. My apparatus came with an egg piercer (of course
I thought it was funny that mine had the same name as my mom, who is a gynecologist who helps women to get preggers
my whites are destroyed everytime. probably 1/3 or more of the whites are stuck to the shell & then i get a yolky ass runny mess sometimes too & then the trash can eats the eggs.
literally any part of an egg that is raw will make my stomach turn & i will puke. fry me an egg that is runny & if i eat the fucker i will vomit within minutes.

And this thread went nutty!
Germans know what's up.
Sudden interest in Eggs?
(I'm only making a joke, I know that different altitudes need different cooking requirements. I'm not laughing at anyone.)
wow cool same here... im a gynecologist too. most women don't believe me & slap me around when i tell them this in a dark alley or wherever it is.
