Place the eggs/egg in a pot fill the pot to cover eggs with cold water add a tablespoon of vinegar bring to a boil for 10 minutes, gradually pour cold water into the pot until water is cold, now you have a perfect boiled egg to peel the egg tap the pointed end on the table and roll the egg along table then push egg from shell.
I have had better luck by starting out with cold water completely covering the eggs. Once the water comes to a boil I turn off the stove and let them sit for 10 - 15 minutes in the hot water. (10 min will leave the yolk done but not completely hard, 15 minutes completely cooks the yolk which is best for salads, etc.) I have never had a greenish colored yolk cooking them this way.
- Place the raw egg in a saucepan.
- Run cold water into the saucepan until the water is 1 inch above the egg.
- Place the saucepan on a stove and cook over medium heat until the water begins to boil.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 10 to 15 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
- Remove the egg with a spoon or ladle and let it cool slowly, or run cold water over it to cool it more quickly.

∙ 11y agoEggs are used in cooking in all sorts of stages. From the raw egg in a Caesar Salad to the hard boiled egg in a deviled egg recipe. So, no you don't have to always boil an egg. You can use boiling water to partially cook an egg, that is called a 'poached' egg and many people like to eat their eggs that way.

Is a raw egg more dense than a boiled egg?
The density of an egg that I boiled was 1.02 * density of tap water. The density of a raw egg was 1.06 * the density of tap water. The mass of the egg did not change so the volume increased slightly. With a raw egg and a boiled egg covering in water, if you add salt and mix slowly you find that the boiled egg will float first and if you continue to add salt you get both to float. Interestingly, recipes for making a brine solution for food preparation frequently tell you to put a raw egg in water and add enough salt in solution to make the egg float. This assures enough salt for a good brine solution.
