Comment on Putting the die in diet
RBWells@lemmy.world 6 days agoI used to do that but lowering them into boiling water works a lot better for me, can get ramen eggs, soft, hard boiled, the timing somehow always works out even though they can’t possibly be going in at exactly the same temperature every time. The boil and wait 10 gets them too cooked.
I do also poke a hole in the empty end of the egg, with a pin, and this makes 'em easier to peel.

If the water is boiling it’s 100C. Thanks to convection a pot of water will generally have about the same temperature when heated from the bottom. And thanks to the high specific heat of water it will sit at boiling temperature absorbing the heat necessary to change state. The only thing that can impact the heat of boiling water is pressure (usually altitude)
