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.

HARD COOKED EGGS IN THE OVEN (BAKED EGGS)

Steps:

• Position the oven racks in the center of the oven.
• Place the eggs on the racks.
• Place a baking sheet pan in the bottom of the oven (just in case an egg breaks).
• Set the oven to 325F, and bake for 30 minutes.
• When the eggs are done, fill a large bowl with ice water and move the eggs into the bowl.
• Peel the eggs as soon as they're cool enough to handle, then return them to the ice water to thoroughly chill.

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!

HARD-COOKED (HARD-BOILED) EGGS

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan, place the eggs in a single layer. Add enough cold water until it is at least 1 inch above the eggs. Heat uncovered to boiling over high heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover with lid; let stand 15 minutes.
• Immediately pour off the hot water from the eggs, then run cool water over them in the saucepan until completely cool.
• Tap each egg lightly on the kitchen counter to crackle the shell. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell, then peel starting at the large end. If the shell is hard to peel, hold egg under cold water while peeling.

EASY PEEL NO FAIL HARD COOKED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring the water to a rolling boil - not a simmer.
• Using a push pin (what you would use on a bulletin board, or something similar) gently poke a hole in the fat end of the egg. It's easy to do. This will prevent the egg from breaking when you put it in the water, however, if you skip this, only the occasional egg will pop.
• Using a slotted spoon gently lower each egg into the boiling water, get them all in quickly.
• BOIL - not simmer - the eggs for 6 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let eggs sit for 6 minutes, this will give you a very slightly moist yolk, add 30 seconds or so to boil time if you like them a little drier -to your preference.
• Remove eggs using the slotted spoon and set on a towel or (as I do) in a dish rack, allow to cool to room temp or until you can handle, don't put in cold water.
• Crack and peel shells, they will slip right off, the whites are tender so be gentle!
• Chill and use as desired.
• To cook more eggs increase the volume of boiling water, it should remain boiling when the eggs are added.
• HINT: To season the eggs nicely for lunches, snacks or deviled, put the peeled eggs in a ziploc bag and sprinkle with salt to taste and refrigerate overnight, makes a big difference in the flavor.
