Dani,
In terms of timing for things like potatoes, I am not going to be able
to give you a timing answer, but, I would generally start off with the
potatoes in the water from cold, and, when boiling eggs, I have them in
the cold water from scratch, and then when the water starts to boil - I
just listen for that one, then I use timers on either my PC or on my
phone to boil them for 5 minutes before then taking the pot off the
stove and filling it up with cold water - don't get rid of hot water,
but just add in cold water until the water is cool, and then leave the
eggs in there for another minute or so, before taking them out of the water.
Stay well

Hi, Everyone.
Here's my set of don't-you-know-this-by-now questions.
I want to boil eggs and potatoes for salad later today. Do I start
with a cold pan and the potatoes and eggs, respectively, already in
the water? Or do I boil the water first and add the eggs/potatoes
after the water has boiled?
When I time for doneness, do I start timing after the water has
reached 212 degrees, or from the point when the stove gets turned on
to heat?
And re the potatoes, do I boil them whole with the skin on, or peeled
and cubed? Is there a preference?
Thanks,
Dani
