How to boil an egg

I haven't posted a recipe in a while... I think the last one was German Pigs in a blanket....



Mmmmmm.... Maybe I need to just get back to basics... I've started looking over a few culinary web sites and blogs and then I found this.

Dear God she's fascinating!!! I use salt as a seasoning, but she uses it make the water boil faster... I'm not up to date on my thermodynamics regarding salt making water boil faster so I'll just believe it to save time...

...besides, on hot days, you go to the beach... there's salt water at the beach... the logic is indisputable.

Well then, I need to do a few hours of exhaustive research on this woman...

Adding salt to water does make it boil at a lower temperature. It breaks up the hydrogen bonding between water molecules.

You need to add a pound of salt or so to get any real effect, however.

I much prefer Aria's other...body of work...if you will.

I agree... It's important to not think of this woman as only a brilliant chef.

I'm reminded of the Great Dolly Parton... most people are unaware that she sings country...


wait for it...
