How do you perfectly hard-boil an egg?
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve searched that on the Internet. In fact, any time I am using any ingredients, I’ll go right to the web to find out the “best” way to store them, prepare them, and keep them for as long as possible.
Since becoming an adult and being the primary feeder of myself, I’ve come across many tips. However, some of them are pretty strange. Here are just a few of the stranger ones; you can find my personal egg technique at the end.
