Yield Up to a dozen eggs

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a saucepan in a single layer, and fill the pan with enough cold water so that it covers the eggs by about an inch.
  • Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully pour out the hot water; place the pan in the sink and run cold water over the eggs until the pan is lukewarm, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and refill with cold water; let stand until the eggs are room temperature, about 10 minutes. Gently crack the eggs all over and peel under running water.
  • Make Ahead: Eggs can be cooked and peeled 3 days ahead. If you keep the eggs in their shell, they can last for up to a week. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Tip: When peeling an egg, start at the wider end -- there's usually a small air pocket in there, which makes the egg shell easier to remove.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS



How to Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs image

This time-tested hard boiled eggs recipe is foolproof. Learn tips for how to boil eggs so they come out perfectly every time.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Breakfast     How To     Quick and Easy     Easter     Egg     Hard Boiled Egg

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 1

6 to 12 large eggs

Steps:

  • Add the eggs to a saucepan and cover with water: Fill a saucepan about a quarter of the way 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. The more eggs that are crowding the pan the more water you should have over the eggs. 6 eggs should be covered by at least an inch, 7 to 12 eggs, 2 inches.
  • Bring to a rolling boil: Leave the pan uncovered. Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil.
  • Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit: Depending on how cooked you like your hard boiled eggs, the eggs should be done perfectly after sitting for 10-12 minutes. That said, depending on your altitude, the shape of the pan, the size of the eggs, and the ratio of water to eggs, it can take a few minutes more. Or if you like your eggs not fully hard cooked, it can take a few minutes less. When you find a time that works for you, given your preferences, the types of eggs you buy, your pots, stove, and cooking environment, stick with it. I also find that it is very hard to overcook eggs using this method. I can let the eggs sit, covered, for up to 15-18 minutes without the eggs getting overcooked.
  • Strain and run under cold water: Strain the hot water from the pan, careful not to dump out the eggs, and run cold water over them until they are cool to the touch. This will stop the eggs from cooking further and make them easier to peel. Or, if you are cooking a large batch of eggs, remove them with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice water. Let them sit for a few minutes, or until cooled.
  • Peel or store for later: I find it easiest to peel the eggs under a bit of running water. The best way to store hard boiled eggs is unpeeled in a covered container in the refrigerator. Eggs can release odors in the fridge which is why it helps to keep them covered. They should be eaten within 5 days. Peeled eggs should be eaten within a day or two. Did you love this recipe? Give us some stars below! The good thing about this method is that even if you forget and the eggs sit in the water a few minutes longer than you had planned, they'll still be fine. Some people like their eggs less or more hard cooked than others. If you want your eggs still a little translucent in the center, let them seep in the hot water for only 6 minutes or so.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
