It's easy to make hard-boiled eggs that are perfect every time. Here's how I do it.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Eggs
Water
Ice cubes
Equipment
Large saucepan or pot
Large bowl
Large slotted spoon

Steps:

  • Very carefully place eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan or pot. Fill pan with cold water to about two inches above the eggs.
  • Place pot over medium heat and bring to a boil, uncovered. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
  • As soon as the water comes to a full boil (with large bubbles), set the timer for two minutes. Let boil uncovered.
  • Once the timer goes off, remove the eggs from heat and cover at once. Let sit for exactly 10 minutes (12 minutes if you're using extra-large eggs).
  • Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice. When the 10 minutes is up, use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the hot water and add to the bowl of ice water. Up until now, you've been very gentle, but now's the time to get a little aggression out and let the eggs drop from a couple of inches up, or shake the bowl a bit to give them a small crack or two. This helps to make them easier to peel.
  • Allow eggs to sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes until completely cool. Peel immediately or refrigerate. I find that peeling the eggs under lukewarm water helps release the shell a bit easer.

This method makes the most perfect hard-boiled eggs ever. The whites are firm but not rubbery, and the yolks are cooked and still creamy.

KEN'S PERFECT HARD BOILED EGG (AND I MEAN PERFECT)

Couldn't sleep one night so I researched several ways to hard boil eggs and developed this process. While you do not taste the vinegar or salt, they both pull the skin from the eggshell so it peels easily without tearing or sticking. Family members call them 'Ken's Eggs'. Enjoy!
