Shameless self-copypasta:  my reply from the Culinary Arts forum on how to make restaurant quality hard boiled eggs:

EWWWWW! 

The actual recipe sounds yum, but the way you boil eggs is atrocious for the flavor, odor and texture of the egg.

Try covering the eggs with cold water, at least double as high as the eggs are in the pot, then add two teaspoons of salt per liter, bring to a boil then turn off the gas  (if electric place the pot on a folded towel to slow cooling) then let sit for 12 minutes, then quench with cold water, let sit to cool for 5 min and then proceed with your recipe.

Cooking that way will give you restaurant quality hard boiled eggs, and the cold quenching assures the skins peel off easily. It works as well for one egg in a little pot to a soup kettle with dozens of eggs.

cold water after you boil them makes it so the skin comes off as well.

Eggs gross me the fuck out.

I like them though.

The thought of this little protein-filled embryo being cooked into a solid hunk of food creeps me out. Sometimes my stomach turns while I cook eggs.

her obsession with chicken eggs is due to that she does not possess human eggs herself: when she was an infant her mother had surgery performed on her that removed her reproductive system (it is not clear whether this was for a legitimate medical reason, or some sort of religious motivation). As such, she considers herself to be immaculate and has a messianic complex regarding her importance within Moralton (this was shown in the opening sequence of "Nesting," as Censordoll's hand was shown moving the clouds away in God's place). In "Nesting," Censordoll embarked upon a scheme to seduce Clay Puppington, offering to be his mistress, using the fact that she was unable to produce children and manipulating his Oedipal feelings towards his dead mother, to convince Clay of her potential as his mistress

Misconception!  An egg as we eat it is unfertilized, it is an egg cell with the nutrient capsule it comes in with birds. It never was or will be an embryo,its alive in the sense of that theres a bit of cellular tissue in it, but not a complete organism.

That is still gross to me for some reason.

IDK it reminds me of eating organs and other parts of animals that are considered gross.

Eggs are delicious to me. The thought of cooking them is what grosses me out. From liquid to solid.

This is coming from the guy who has no problem eating braunschweiger

Not really! Wild chickens, truly wild ones, lay a few eggs a year.  We domesticated them and bred them until they laid eggs every day, and then a bit more so they'd do it without a rooster.

Its not a natural menstrual cycle.
