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.

THE PERFECT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a large pot with a lid. Pour cool water over the eggs until fully submerged and add the baking soda to the water. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with the lid. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for the following times according to the desired doneness: 3 minutes for SOFT boiled; 6 minutes for MEDIUM boiled; 12 minutes for HARD boiled.
• Prepare a bowl of ice water. Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice water to cool completely before peeling.

PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway with water, making sure the pot is large enough to contain eggs in a single layer. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Place eggs in boiling water individually using a large spoon, making sure not to break them. Continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 25 minutes.
• Place eggs under cold water until eggs have cooled.

PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS (TECHNIQUE)

Steps:

• Put eggs in large pot.
• Cover with water so that there is at least an inch of water above the eggs.
• Add a pinch of salt.
• Turn on heat (med high) and heat, uncovered, to a boil.
• If you have more than a single layer of eggs, you may want to stir them occasionally (gently!) while they heat.
• Once the water comes to a boil, watch your clock and let it boil for 2 minutes.
• Remove pot from the heat and cover with lid.
• Let sit, covered, for 11 minutes.
• Drain and cool eggs for 2 minutes in ice water.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGGS (MY FAVORITE METHOD)

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.

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.
