Teacher: Class, your eggs were in boiling water long enough for the yolks to harden and the albumen to coagulate. Carefully remove the pot from the stove to the sink. Cool tap water will stop the cooking process and will also make the eff inside the shell contract. This allows us to remove the shell more easily. April: Pat? Is Jack um...OK? Pat: He's fine. Jack: (I did it! I cooked an egg by myself! I actually cooked an eff!)
I know the feeling, am 48 and only hard boiled my first eggs recently.
