Perfect Boiled Eggs

Submitted by Kree

"This may seem simple to most, but as an amateur chef I know I sometimes need help with basic cooking techniques! So here's a simple way to hard boil your eggs!"

 

• Ready In: 28mins
• Ingredients: 2
• Yields: 4 eggs

ingredients

• 4 eggs
• water

directions

1. Place eggs in stainless steel pot, do not stack.
2. Cover with cold water to where eggs are just immersed.
3. Cook to boiling, immediately remove and cover with lid; let stand 20 minutes.
4. Voila, the perfect boiled egg.
5. Note: You can do this with however many eggs you need; I only chose 4 because they required me to give a serving size!

PERFECT eggs every time! I only stand for 16 minutes though & will never make them another way again :-)

Absolutely perfect! I could never remember how long to cook and inevitably overcooked my eggs. This has worked every time. Thanks!

These turned out very well. I cooked 8 eggs, following you'r recipe exactly, and they were all easy to peel and cooked perfectly. Thanks Kree for posting

UPDATE: Shared this recipe with my boss where simplicity is the key. She LOVED the ease of this recipe to make perfect boiled eggs!<br/><br/>I shared this recipe with my husband whom complained he could never make perfectly boiled eggs. We have done this twice in the last week and a half and true results both times much to his delight. Light fluffy yolks with just set whites - just how he wanted them. <br/><br/>Thank you for sharing!

I cooked 14 eggs using this method. Fantastic...Egg yolks just perfect for devilled eggs. After cooking I plunged the eggs into water with lots of ice cubes and shook the pot to crack the shells. Let set for a few minutes and voila!!! Easy to peel hard boiled eggs! Thanks so much for posting your way of doing it....
