How long does it take to boil hard boil eggs?

About 25-30 minutes total.

Starting with a pot of cold water, poke a pinhole in the large end (air pocket) of each egg. (this allows for expansion of the egg without cracking the shell).

Place the eggs in the pot, cover it and bring it to a boil. Boil the eggs 3 minutes for soft boiled eggs or 10 minutes for hard boiled.

Drain the eggs and immediately cover them with cold running water until they are completely cooled, about 5-10 minutes, if they are to be served cold. If they are to be served hot keep them covered in the hot water.

**Note: exposure of the hot eggs to the air will cause the yolks to begin oxidizing (greenish coating around the yolk).

Does tomato sauce neutralize the heat in peppers?

No it does not. But dairy does neutralize the heat. So try something like milk, cheese, sour cream or premium ice cream.

Or, try banana, it works best for me and some other chileheads. Water will only spread the oils around in your mouth and make it worse, bread or crackers can help by absorbing the oils that contain the capsaicin. As mentioned above, the casein in dairy products helps to neutralize the effect and also the fats (especially the higher fat dairy products like premium ice cream) mix with the oils from the chile and dilute the effect. Alcohol might work to dissolve the oils a bit, but the burn of the alcohol itself adds to the unpleasant sensations rather than removing them (but enough of it and you may not care any more). Banana is a tried and true "antidote" for people who have bitten off more than they can chew. We have tested it and found it to be better than the other "remedies" tested at the same time with the same chiles. Why it works is not yet clear, but it does...just try it next time, it is almost instant relief.

How do you remove the bad taste of wild game meat?

It's not so much of a bad taste as it is that our taste buds have become conditioned to steroids & other chemicals that are present in commercial meat and a there is isually a lack of proper aging of the game meat. Fresh, unaged, beef has a much different taste than properly aged beef has. * Vinegar and water will do the trick. Soak the meat in a mixture of vinegar and water to remove, or at least to reduce, the "gaminess" in wild animal meat. Sauces can also help. Most contain some amount of vinegar. * Or, Smoke the meat and infuse it with hickory, mesquite, pecan or your own particular favorite flavor. * Age the meat properly. Bon appetit. if the wild game was feild dressed properly, u will not have a gamey taste Try soaking it in buttermilk overnight. The lactose in the buttermilk will remove the wild taste. It is recommended to do fish the same way.

Is is possible that you develop an allergy to curry?

I believe you can develop an allergy to curry as you get older! I am a 48 year old woman with no other known food allergies. I recently began eating and enjoying curry again...as a child it never bothered me. What I've discovered is that I get a severe localized itch on the right side of my collarbone and partway up my neck...it shows up at least an ahour a day, then goes away.
