Best way to cook hard boiled eggs ever.
Ingredients
Directions
- Place eggs in a saucepan that they just fit into. Vary the number of eggs and size of pan as needed.
- Fill pan with water to just cover eggs. Add salt and set pan on burner over medium high heat.
- When water starts to boil turn burner off and place lid tightly on pan. Leave pan on warm burner for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes run cold water in pan to help eggs cool. Once cool put in refrigerator.
- Note: recipe from "500 More Low Carb Recipes" by Dana Carpender.

That is the way I do it. The cold water is important because it keeps the eggs from over-cooking.

I place my eggs into a pan filled w/COLD tap water, bring to a roiling boil, turn off the burner, cover pan and let sit for 15 min., I then run them under cold tap water briefly, then refrigerate. Works every time!

One thing I find so I don't have to put a hole in the eggs is this: If I let the eggs come to room temp before placing them in the water, they don't crack.

The shells were super easy to peel. I poked a tiny hole at one end of each egg prior to cooking. Love this recipe!

It's how I boil eggs too, but I only leave them in the hot water for 18 minutes and I remove the pan from the hot surface...no darkening of the yolks and they are fully cooked.
