If you're trying to make eggs, you're doing it all wrong. Chickens make eggs. Humans COOK eggs.
Eggs are not easy to make ya know.
Every egg has smelled like that. Not as strong as hydrogen sulfide from an improperly operating Zenon system, but very offensive smelling nonetheless.
It's so cute when you try to sound smart like that. But seriously, have you tried putting them in ice water? Maybe you didn't leave them in the ice long enough, maybe the eggs have gone bad. But the ones I make don't smell like sulfur. Try it with fresh eggs, don't overcook them and leave them in the ice water long enough. They should come out perfect. there should be no discoloration of the yolk, even at the edge.
No thanks - to each is own.
I prefer the sorrel sauce myself.
mmm.. eggs & laxitives...
best bathroom paint remover combination ever.

Ok. Here's the Good Eats/Alton Brown method for making the perfect hard boiled egg.
1. Fill a pot with cold water and add a healthy pinch of salt.
2. Add the eggs to the cold water (no more than 6 at a time) and make sure the eggs are totally submerged.
3. Put the pot on the stove and bring it to a rolling boil.
4. Remove the pot from the heat and cover tightly.
5. Let it stand for 15 minutes off the heat.
6. Rinse eggs with cold water to halt the cooking, peel, and enjoy.
No raw centers, no gray yolks. Perfect every time.
So you're saying that without that machine you could not possibly boil an egg?They come out perfect and it only takes like 10 minutes. The machine already paid for itself (I eat 3 per day and it $1.98 at the cafe!)

I could but it is more effort and never comes out right. The machine does it just right (all the time) and does it very quickly.

Yep I got one for xmas and it works like a charm. Totally moran-proof poached eggs as well. Machine > man.

What's interesting for me is how variable the times are for people to get soft and hard boil. I use 4.5 minutes for soft and 7 for hard...
I went online, of course, to look it up since its really my first time doing it and wanted to so as to get in the spirit of things.
Directions said roiling boil, eggs room temp, pull pot off hot side of stove, place in eggs, and wait 17 minutes, then put in a pot in cold water so as to make "steam" and the egg will peel easily.
NO PROBLEM, so I thought. We had 2 eggs crack so I used them as my test eggs, still raw in the center. So I left them in the water for 5 more minutes and tested the 2nd cracked egg. Still raw in the center. Cooked for another 10 minutes and figured they had to be done by now, so I tried a trick I saw on the net. You crack both ends of the egg and blow hard on one end and the egg is supposed to pop right out. Well, egg was STILL raw and I shot egg cum all over my face and kitchen wall.
I mean WTF its boiling a egg, is it always this big a pita or what?
So I said screw the little suckers, stuck them back in the pot, set it to high and just boiled them for another 10 minutes. They come out tasting like shit and raw now, fuck it :/
Perhaps its time for the Palomino version that includes the 32GHz wireless resistance temperature transmitter. This will interface with your induction cooktop assuring a perfect hard boil every time.
To be practical to cook an egg with total beam size covering the outer shell you would be looking at 3kW YAG territory. That would be a waste of resources for cooking eggs!
