Best one yet. Most fun, anyway.

Sure as hell made my morning.
Always amazed at Dr. Sullivans vocabulary.

Yeah, this video is an eggcellent eggsample of eggceptional henformation. Full of wisecracks too.

Does anyone have a bulletproof method to hard-boil eggs so the shell comes off clean every time? I use an egg genie, and some of the eggs are a pain-in-the-ass to peel.

Oh yes! My wife and I learned this one a few months ago and it's worked beautifully every time:

Heat water to a boil, add eggs (preferably already at room temperature). Boil 13 minutes. After boiling is complete, remove from boiling water and place in ice-water bath for five minutes. Once the five minutes are up peel by breaking the egg shell all around, it'll come right off.

On the topic of eggs, I lowered my cholesterol 70 points by, among other things, switching from "heart healthy" cereal (Cheerios) with almond milk to two eggs for breakfast daily, usually hard-boiled, on weekends fried or scrambled. As long as we're discussing cholesterol, mine was about 250, doctor threatened me with statins, I lost 40 pounds in four months, cholesterol went UP to 270. He prescribed statins which I didn't fill (I'll kill my liver with scotch thank you, not statins), three months later the cholesterol was 205. Seems as you drop fat your blood cholesterol goes up, since it's stored in fat, when you lose fat it hits the blood stream, to the liver and out. Doctor was amazed.

I just buy the pre-boiled & shelled eggs from Costco.

The following approach is absolutely 100% effective. It has changed my life.

1. Leave the damn eggs in the fridge. They stay cold until the very last minute.

2. Boil water. If you don't know how to do this, please see the attendant, who will escort you to one of our patented disintegration booths.

3. With the water at a rolling boil, add two pinches of baking soda to the water.

4. Take eggs out of fridge and gently spoon them into the water.

5. Boil for exactly 12 minutes, if you like your eggs with the very center of the yoke cooked but slightly soft, with tender but not rubbery egg white. If you don't like your eggs this way, then fuck you.

6. Remove the eggs from heat at 12 minutes, and flush them under ice cold water. You can even add ice to the water.

7. After 1 minute in the very cold water, tip the water out and shake the eggs right there in the pot. The shells will usually just shake right off. These eggs want to be peeled like a tip-hungry stripper on a hot Saturday night in a Wichita Falls titty bar. Trust me. These beauties are gonna git nekkid in no time.

8. Enjoy your little Oblate Spheroids of Death, sucka.

I usually get a pot of water boiling, put eggs in and set a timer for 7 minutes or so. Then pout the water out, let the eggs sit in some cold water for 3-5 mins and dry them with a paper towel. Then bash them against your counter top to get a few cracks. Then just peel them with the membrane as well. If you grab the shells with the membrane, they will come off as big pieces.

You guys know this recipe timing changes with altitude, right? Can you link to a conversion table? You never even considered that some of us dwell On High?

Well...no, I have to admit I didn't.

Use a pressure cooker.
