• Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, then add your eggs and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel.

HARD BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place cold eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) cold water over top of the eggs.
• Cover saucepan and bring quickly to a boil over a high heat. Immediately remove pan from heat to stop boiling. Let eggs stand in water for 12 minutes (large eggs).
• Drain water and immediately run cold water over eggs until cooled.

THE EASIEST PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS (TECHNIQUE)

Steps:

• Place eggs in medium saucepan. Cover with water 1" above the eggs. Place on stovetop over high heat.
• Bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and cover. Let sit 18-20 minutes.
• Pour cold tap water into pot allowing the hot water out by holding the pot on a slant. Let eggs sit in cold water for 1-2 minutes, then peel easily.
• NOTE: (no garbage disposal/shells for gardening method) I peel the eggs under running cold water with a colander underneath to catch the shells. I placed the eggs onto paper towels to rid excess moisture for egg salad, OR place peeled eggs into a bowl of cold water, cover and refrigerate where they keep for about 4-5 days.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs into a saucepan and pour in cold water to cover; place over high heat. When the water just starts to simmer, turn off heat, cover pan with a lid, and let stand for 17 minutes. Don't peek.
• Pour out the hot water and pour cold water over eggs. Drain and refill with cold water; let stand until eggs are cool, about 20 minutes. Peel eggs under running water.

HOW TO COOK PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGGS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Place eggs in a pot. Cover with cold water until the eggs are covered by about 1 inch (2 cm) of water.
• Bring to a boil, uncovered. Once boiling, take off the heat.
• Cover and cook for 4-16 minutes, depending on preference (4-6 minutes for soft-boiled, 8-10 minutes for medium-boiled, 12-16 minutes for hard-boiled). In the meantime, fill a large bowl with ice and cold water, creating an ice bath.
• Once eggs reach desired cook-time, immediately remove the eggs from pot and place in the ice bath. Allow eggs to cool for 10-15 minutes.
• To peel, lightly tap the eggs on a flat surface, then gently roll back and forth (taking extra care with soft-boiled eggs).
• Pull away the loosened shell and peel any remaining pieces.
• Serve as is or incorporate into your favorite recipe that requires hard-boiled eggs.
• Enjoy!

A PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGG

Steps:

• Place eggs in a single layer in a heavy saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt (Salting the water helps minimize leaks if the eggs crack in the pan; the egg whites coagulate and seal off the crack more quickly). Turn the heat to high. As soon as the water comes to a gentle boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan.
• For creamy yolks, remove the lid after 10 minutes and run cold water over eggs for 1 minute. Set aside to cool at room temperature. For firmer yolks, leave the eggs to cool in the cooking water, uncovered, for up to 2 hours. To test if an egg has been cooked, spin it on a counter. A hard boiled egg spins faster than a raw egg.
• To peel, gently tap a boiled egg against the counter, turning and tapping to make a crackle pattern. Start peeling at the broad end, where there is an air pocket. Running the egg under cold water is not necessary, unless they are too hot to handle.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 12 minutes.
• Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking. Eggs can be peeled and served immediately.

EASY HARD-BOILED EGGS

TO HARD-BOIL AND PEEL EGGS

Steps:

• Manufacturing Notes:
• Pricking: There is a bubble of air in the large end of the egg, which expands when the egg is heated and can crack the shell. To let that air escape, always prick the large end with an egg pricker or a pin, going in a good 1/4 inch.
• How much water? That depends on how many eggs you have. The water should cover the eggs by 1 inch, so use a tall pan, and I would hesitate, under home conditions, to do more than 2 dozen eggs at once.
• For 1 to 4 eggs...2 quarts of water For 12 eggs.......3 1/2 quarts of water For 24 eggs.......6 quarts of water
• Special Equipment Suggested: An egg pricker or drafting pin; a high rather than wide saucepan with cover; a bowl of sufficient size with ice cubes and water to cover eggs.
• The cooking: Lay the eggs in the pan and add the amount of cold water specified. Set over high heat and bring just to the boil; remove from heat, cover the pan, and let sit exactly 17 minutes.
• The 2-minute chill: When the time is up, transfer the eggs to the bowl of ice cubes and water. Chill for 2 minutes while bringing the cooking water to the boil again. The 2-minute chilling shrinks the body of the egg from the shell.
• The 10-second boil: Transfer the eggs (6 at a time only) to the boiling water, bring to the boil again, and boil for 10 seconds--which in turn expands the shell from the egg. Return the eggs to the ice water, cracking the shells gently in several places.
• Preventing that dark line around the yolk: Chilling the eggs promptly prevents that dark line from forming, and if you have time, leave the egg in the ice water (adding more ice if needed) for 15 to 20 minutes before peeling. Chilled eggs are easier to peel, too. Or peel them, as described in the next paragraph, and ice them at once.
• Peeling: Crack an egg all over by gently tapping it against the sink. Then, starting at the large end, and holding the egg either under a thin stream of cold water or in the bowl of ice water, start peeling. As soon as you have peeled it, return the egg to the ice water so that it will continue to chill.
• Storing the HB eggs: They will keep perfectly in the refrigerator, submerged in water in an uncovered container, for 2 to 3 days.

• Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover.
• Bring the water to a boil and immediately turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit in the pan for 15 minutes.
• Remove the eggs to a bowl and allow to rest for at least 2 minutes. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, crack the eggs on each side and then roll them back and forth with your hand, breaking up the shell. Remove and discard the shell.
