    I hate when they advertise ‘two eggs any style’ and then say they don’t do hard boiled eggs.

    You have eggs, water, and heat. What’s the fucking problem?

    This isn’t a Waffle House either. It’s a relatively high-end Hyatt property in Ft Lauderdale.

    Only non-witches get due process.

          Maybe they didn't have the time. LOL

          Just saw this article:

          https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/cooking-perfect-boiled-egg?loggedin=true&rnd=1738944293654

          According to a team of Italian researchers, there is a good reason why boiling the perfect egg is such a challenge: albumen (the egg white) and yolk require two different temperatures for optimal cooking. That’s around 185°F for the former and approximately 149°F for the latter.

          Writing in the journal Communications Engineering, researchers from the University of Naples Federico II claim to have discovered the method that best cooks both albumen and yolk and leads to eggs that are both more flavorful and nutritious than those cooked by other methods. The drawback? You’ll need two pots of water, a thermometer, and just over half an hour.

          The technique involves a pot of boiling water and a pot or bowl of water that is kept at approximately 86°F. The key is to place the eggs into the boiling water for two minutes, then into the cooler water for two more minutes and back into the boiling water again, the process repeating for eight full cycles, or 32 minutes.

            Similar to a steakhouse not doing well-done steak. Sometimes, one's culinary betters have a moral obligation to keep the customer from making a mistake.

                The only reasons to ever hard boil an eggs is to either devil them or make tuna salad. Jon, just ask them to hard poach them. Same thing.

                  2 of my 3 kids love hard boiled eggs (I do too). I actually make about a dozen at a time using the pressure cooker. Very easy... pressure cook for about 5 minutes, let it naturally de-pressurize, then place the eggs into icy water (that's the key to making them easy to peel).

                      Hard boiled isn't really a style, more a British punishment regime

                        I found a video of Jon, at 0:20.

                        Link to video

                        BTW I use the line "top marks for speed, no marks for cookery!" more often than I should.

                          Jude Law's character in that movie was good and memorable. Thoughtful villains are always fun, like the Guy Pierce character in Lawless, or Anton Chigurh. But the director in that scene pushed his license to give his characters horrible aim a little too far. He couldn't hit a stationary Hanks with a rifle from 15 feet, but hit him with a pistol from 50 yards, while Hanks was in a moving car.

                                      Nobody enjoys a runny yolk more than me, but having a few hard boiled eggs in the fridge ready as a snack is great.
