Gisèle and I are just back from grocery shopping and we're preparing
supper. Nice sunny day outside and we're preparing a big "Salade
nicoise" with hard boiled eggs among many constituents.
I pull out two eggs from the fridge and a neddle from the drawer. I
pierce a small pinhole at the bottom of the eggs and put them in the
water to cook to hard.
Gisèle looks at me:
- I've seen you do that so many times but never asked. Why do you do
that to the eggs?
Me:
- It's because there's a small air bag at the bottom of the eggs. When
the temperature of the water rises to boiling, usually the pressure
increases inside the eggs and they break. If you pierce a pinhole in
the air bag, the pressure can rise, the air will come out through the
pinhole and the eggs won't crack.
Gisèle:
- You sure know how to get pinholin' in every aspects of your life,
don't you...
Me:
- Told you so... -:))
Try it! It really works fine. Pinholin' and hard boiled eggs.
Chef Guy
