Basic College Cooking 101

I recognize that most college students especially those who are living on their own for the first time. I decided to make a post with some very basic cooking knowledge for those who have never had to deal with this cooking thing before! I asked various college students what information that they would find most useful and I was surprised with the response. Today were going to start on the simplest thing that you will learn in your time in the kitchen. How to boil an egg! These cooking 101 posts should only occur on the blog once every 3-4 weeks, however, they are very important posts for beginning cooks!

Boiling an egg

1. Put the eggs in a pan of cool water and then fill it with cold water (leaves some room for bubbles).

2. Bring to a roiling boil

3. Turn off the heat and cover the pan

4. Leave eggs in water for the desired cooking time drain the hot water, set aside, and then fill with cool water

Boiling an egg cooking times:

6 minutes if you want the yoke to be a little gushy

10 minutes if you want the yoke to be soft

16 minutes if you want a traditional hardboiled egg
