Re: [CnD] Working with boiling water?
Hi, everybody. When stirring things in boiling water, in addition to using a long handle spoon, I would suggest wearing an oven mitt that has a long sleeve so that your wrist is protected also in case you bump the edge of the pot. Stir in slowly minimize the chance of splashes. I also see no reason that you would need to stir eggs while boiling. I use a cold water method for hard-boiled eggs. That means you don’t have to bring the eggs to room temperature first, or risk them cracking when you put them in the boiling water. I put the eggs in cold water covered with water, preferably an inch or so above the eggs. Put it on the stove and bring the water with the eggs in it to a boil. When it boils, turn off the heat and cover it. Set the timer for 15 minutes. When the 15 minutes are over, your eggs are cooked perfectly. Then you can drain and rinse them with cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Good luck!

yes, the water was boiling, and I'd rather not burn myself.

Long handled spoon, either a wooden one or one of those super-long metal ones like they use in professional kitchens. We're talking about the macaroni, right?

Re: [CnD] Working with boiling water?
Now, I might think that they suggested stirring the macaroni while it is boiling occasionally, to keep the macaroni from sticking to the bottom of the pot. However, it is not necessary to stir the boiling eggs. -Original Message- From: Jessica Dail via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2019 10:12 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Jessica Dail Subject: [CnD] Working with boiling water?

Re: [CnD] Working with boiling water?
The water makes a bubbling sound when it is boiling. So when you start to hear bubbles popping, the water is starting to boil. It depends on how big the pot you are using and how much water you have in it determines how long it takes for the water to start boiling.

Your ears are the important thing. Boiling water makes noise. I've heard folks suggest timing it, but how water boils has a lot to do with atmospheric conditions as to when exactly it'll start boiling.
