How do you make boiled eggs?

This depends on how 'hard' you want the eggs to be.

Some people put the eggs into a pan of boiling water (so that the eggs are covered) and keep the water boiling for 3 or 4 minutes.

Others prefer to put the eggs into cold water (again, so that they are covered) and bring the water to the boil, and keep it boiling for 1 or 2 minutes.

(I prefer to put them into boiling water)

If you want to ensure that the shells don't crack during the process, you can push a sharp pin into the round end of the egg. There's a little air-pocket in there which can expand when the egg gets hot, cracking the shell. You don't need to push in too far, but do it gently.

When the time is up you can either eat the eggs hot, or - if you want them cold for salads

- you should plunge them into cold water, or into ice. This stops the yolk of the egg developing a black edge to it.

Why is it incorrect to say hard boiled eggs?

This is a fairly minor point of usage, but if you say hard boiled eggs you could be interpretted as saying that the eggs are both hard and boiled, when what you really mean is that the eggs were hard-boiled, which is to say, boiled for a longer time than they would be if you wanted soft-boiled eggs. So you can use the hyphen.

How do you separate hard boiled eggs from fresh eggs?

Spin them one at a time. While the egg is in motion, stop it from spinning and quickly release it. Raw eggs will move as the raw contents will still have inertia. The hard boiled eggs will not move once they have be stopped spinning. The other way, crack the eggs over a bowl. If they are not boiled, make fried.
