Tips for Eggs:
How fresh are your eggs? Put egg in to 4ins. of water, if it stays on the bottom it's fresh. If one end tips up it is less fresh and if it floats to the top it is either bad or at the stage where it will be impossible to fry without breaking.
Hard boiled eggs - To prevent the outside of the yolk turning black, immediately after cooking plunge the egg into cold water and allow to cool down.
To prevent them crumbling when sliced, wet the knife first.

Aluminum pots will also cause the yellows to turn black. To peel the eggs in one piece, pour the water out and cover with cold water. Pour this water out and shake the pot to crack the eggs. Then cover in cool water again and they peel easily. Make sure you peel them while they are still warm. Sounds complicated but it's not. Very fresh eggs do not do as well as older eggs.
