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.

Want to hard boil eggs how do you know if they are still good before boiling them?
You can judge the age and health of the egg by dropping it in a body of water. A fresh egg will sink and lie flat on the bottom of the glass, slightly older will bob a little bit, still older will stand on the end and a rotten egg will float on the surface! Fresh eggs' shells are rough and chalky while old eggs' shells are smooth and shiny.You can read more egg tips at: http://desigram.com/pages/articles/Food/Cooking-Tips/Eggs-Tips.html
