Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs (Technique)

No fail! Never undercook or overcook your eggs again. I came across this method in my search to avoid the ugly green cast that yolks take on when overcooked. Add on a couple minutes to soak time if you use Jumbo eggs.

• Ready In: 2 mins
• Yields: 12 eggs

Ingredients

• 12  large eggs
• 1  pinch salt

Directions

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