Boil great eggs and save energy at the same time. (Country conversation & feedback).

COUNTRYSIDE: The other day I noticed my wife, Janet, in the kitchen put a pot of water on the stove stove, device used for heating or for cooking food. The stove was long regarded as a cooking device supplementary to the fireplace, near which it stood; its stovepipe led into the fireplace chimney. It was not until about the middle of the 19th cent.  full of fresh eggs, then turned on the stove. I came back into the kitchen a short time later and noticed the egg pot just started to boil. Janet put a lid on the pot and turned off the burner A drive that writes write-once optical discs such as CD-Rs and DVD-Rs. A "burner" implies a one-time recording, but the term is erroneously used to refer to drives that "write" to re-recordable CD-RW and DVD-RW/+RW media as well. See burn, CD-R and DVD-R. . I asked why she turned off the stove if she was going to boil the eggs.

She explained that she was saving propane propane, CH3CH2CH3, colorless, gaseous alkane. It is readily liquefied by compression and cooling. It melts at −189.9°C; and boils at −42.2°C;.  by letting the residual heat of the hot water finish the job, and you don't get any cracked eggs this way. To my amazement, it worked! This just proves to me that Janet can teach this old dog a new trick or two.--Stan Porhola, Arroyo Grande, CA
