A Way to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

A Way to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

Cook Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 20 mins


Servings: 6 to 12 servings


Yield: 6 to 12 eggs

If you live at a high altitude, let the eggs sit in the hot water longer or lower the heat and maintain a low simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.

Ingredients:
6 to 12 large eggs, straight from the fridge

Method:
1. Add the eggs to a saucepan and cover with water:

Fill a saucepan about a quarter full with cold water. Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of the saucepan. Add more water so that the eggs are covered by at least an inch or two of water.

2. Bring to a rolling boil:

Leave the pan uncovered. Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil.

3. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit:

Depending on how cooked you like your hard-boiled eggs, they should be done perfectly after sitting for 10-12 minutes.

4. Strain and run under cold water:

Strain the hot water from the pan, be careful not to dump out the eggs, and run cold water over them until they are cool to the touch.

​5. Peel or store for later:
The best way to store hard-boiled eggs is with the shell still on them and store them in a covered container in the refrigerator. They should be eaten within 5 days, and peeled eggs should be eaten within a day or two.
