Skott and I both bought eggs on the same day while running our various errands. So I decided to boil a dozen to have as snacks, etc. I wasn't sure how long to boil them (hahaha don't laugh). Normally I just boil the crap out of them until I'm sure they're done. But this time I had limited time and wanted to try and get them done before work.
*cue google search*
(I must mention something very creepy though -I went to google on my phone and started to type "How long to..." at which point it auto-filled "...boil eggs". I'm not kidding! It creeped me out. Even stranger, later on in the day when I was talking to Skott about something completely unrelated, I went to my trusty google search again and it auto-filled the correct question again.)
Who knew there was so much information about boiling eggs? I found this link fascinating:

I liked the part about overboiling and cooking all the proteins to a rubbery consistency. Hmmmm, that would be me.
And a grey ring around your yolks? That's not supposed to be there? Ooops!
I especially liked the hint about turning eggs on their sides a couple days before making deviled eggs to "center" the yolks. Fascinating! Who thinks of these things?
And speaking of eggs, Skott is making Popovers for breakfast :) Yum!

Too funny! I too over boil my eggs--better too done than not at all. ;-) I always thought it was normal to have a gray lining as well-- Who knew?!?!
That is so interesting -- thanks for sharing!
