How To Boil Eggs
Growing up my favorite part of Easter was decorating the eggs (okay, actually, it may have been the chocolate bunnies, but eggs were right up there). Even now that we're grown up, whenever my family has the opportunity to be together for Easter, we always end up boiling up a batch and dying them. Just in case I'm not the only one who's into dying eggs, I thought I'd give you a few tips on how to boil eggs.
These Eggs Remove the Guess Work
Thanks to modern science, you will no longer have to wonder exactly when your soft-boiled, medium-boiled or hard-boiled egg is ready. Why's that? Because the egg is going to tell you itself!

This is because egg shells, which are highly porous, are sprayed before sale with a thin coating of mineral oil that seals the egg. Boiling the egg washes this coating away, however, leaving the shell susceptible to bacteria.
