Grat, eggs, air

3. Good recipes for Easter eggs (also known as hard boiled eggs)

Wikipedia say that some cooks (for example, Julia Child, Alton Brown, and Martha Stewart) recommend turning off the heat as soon as the water comes to a boil leaving the tightly-covered eggs to sit for 15 minutes, after which the eggs are removed from the hot water and placed in an ice bath. Many cooks, however, prefer to exercise more direct control over the process. A typical recipe:

* place eggs within a little pot
* add water until the eggs are submerged to a depth of 1 inch
* heat to a boil
* reduce heat, maintaining boil for 3-11 minutes, depending on the desired level of yolk firmness.

If the cook cools the hot eggs rapidly by running cold water over them, the egg will shrink slightly inside the shell, making it easier to remove. It also avoids a grey ring that usually forms around the yolk when sliced.

An easy way to remove the shell is to crack the entire shell and then pierce the membrane on the inside. The shell can then be removed, as the membrane holds the shell together.
