This is a good website for egg info ... http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/BoiledEggs.htm To keep the eggs from cracking, I prick the large end of the egg with a small needle. It's always worked for me. And to make soft boiled eggs, place your eggs in a pot with enough water to cover the entire eggs. Bring to a hard boil for about a minute and remove from heat. Let sit for about 7 minutes. I use the peeling technique near the bottom of the website I provided and get perfect shaped eggs every time! Good luck!...(Answered by jlynburton)

It really depends on how much you add in to begin with. If possible try to add the least amount of salt you can, a great trick is to use Sea salt because in my experience it just isn't as salty as regular iodized salt. Also if you want to greatly cut down on the amount of salt when you are boiling the meat try throwing a peeled whole potato in the pot, because potato's are drawing agents and suck the salt right up ( Helpful Hint: this works great for soups, stews and sauces as well; and since there ...(Answered by little chef)

The handle is not an integral part of the pot and when you attach it the handle acts like a heat sink and 'siphons off' some of the heat! That sounds like the most logical answer! ....(Answered by freesumpin)

Calcium carbonate (lime) and other minerals are present in rocks and soil and naturally leach into natural souces of water and thus are always present to some degree. When water boils, it becomes vapor or steam. The impurities (organic and inorganic dissolved solids) remain as the white residue....(Answered by flaneuring)
