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.

What temp. to boil an egg?

Boiling an egg takes a while. Once the water starts to boil and the eggs are inside the boiling water, let the eggs boil for about 5 to 10 minutes. Careful, if they boil for too long, they might crack. Alternatively, bring the eggs and water to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 25 minutes. Then, dump the water and rinse with cold water. Alternatively, buy an egg timer--there is a nifty one that is red plastic that turns purple when the eggs are done.
