Hi, I am just hard boiling some eggs but also need to put some pasta on soon.

Do you think it is OK to boil them together in the same pan:o

It seems like a good money saving option, if I can :)

Thanks.

    Probably not, if you think about where the eggs have come from, you will by cooking your pasta in chicken !!!!!!

    No problem anyway I should think, after all the egg shells will be well sterilised after having been in boiling water for 10 mins or so.

    Thanks. It just seems silly to have two pans of water boiling on the stove at the same time:o
    Saves on the gas bill and the washing up!

    Well, they don't come from there! :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I've been doing this for a few months and haven't been ill because of any chicken sh*t :p

    Infact I popped some eggs in with my pasta last night as wanted some hard boiled for some salad. It all seems to be cooked at the same time, so very handy!

    I never cook the pasta normally anyway. I bring the water to the boil with the lid on the pan and turn it off. It takes longer but with a couple of stirs it cooks without any other heat.

    Sometimes i pour over a kettle of boiling water and leave after stirring but find that when i do this the gas needs lighting for a couple of minutes after 10 mins or so.

    I do eggs and pasta together if I have the need. I've been doing it for years and I'm still here ;)
