Hi, I am the worst cook on the planet. I literally cannot even boil an egg. Today I thought to myself, "Hmm, I would like to eat a hard-boiled egg. How hard is it to make a hard-boiled egg?" It’s only two steps: 1) Boil a pot of water. 2) Place a few eggs in the boiling water for about 15 minutes. Easy, right? Well, guess what, I could not even make it through STEP ONE!I managed to get my one and only pot down from the cupboard, I managed to fill it up with water and put it on the stove, and then, my fatal flaw—I totally fucking forgot about it. Cut to an hour later and I hear some rattling sounds coming from the kitchen area. I go OH FUCK and then I quickly turn off the flame. The thing was radiating intense heat. The silver metal had turned bronze-ish toward the bottom of the pot. Even with a potholder the thing was hotter than the sun, and I cautiously removed the lid to discover the bottom of the pot was covered in a creepy, cruddy poisonous-looking soot. Mostly I’m annoyed because that was my only pot. Do you think if I give it a good scrub it’ll still be usable?Oh, and by the way, this isn’t my first hard boiled egg disaster either. About a year ago I attempted to boil some eggs and this time I actually got the eggs in the pot before I proceeded to go into the other room and completely forget about them. About an hour later I heard a loud pop. I went OH FUCK and then raced into the kitchen to behold six burnt-black eggs sizzling on the bottom of a burnt-black pot. Stupidly, I grabbed the pot and ran it under cold water. BIG MISTAKE. Wafts of acrid egg-smoke steamed and hissed and exploded out of the pot. I panicked. I ran to the window and heaved the eggs out. I left the pot on my windowsill till it cooled down and then I threw it out in the recycling dumpster.So that’s two pots destroyed now. I wonder, can you microwave eggs? I really like hard-boiled eggs. Especially deviled ones. Mmm. Fuck I wish I hadn’t burned my pot.AMY KELLNER
