I was really looking for a hack to make boiled eggs. Thank you.
This is amazing. But why?
I'm especially looking forward to the hard boiled egg hack. Will report back after.
One thing I was wondering about the bacon hack is do you pat the bacon dry after rinsing? Otherwise wouldn't it just sizzle the oil everywhere?
