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.

The salt in the water really helps to peel the eggs later on!

Exactly the way I do mines, minus the salt, and I only leave it on the burner for 10 mins. They are always perfect (not rubbery)

this is the best way I only let mine set covered about 10 min. drain and bounce them eggs in the pan to crack them well cover with cold water.. let set just a few.. and drain again and fill with cold water.. and start peeling..the trick is to buy them eggs ahead and store in the back of the fridge the fresher they are the harder they are to peel..

If you put just a dash of vinegar (any kind) in the water any eggs that crack will not leak.

Martha Stewart says the correct name is Hard Cooked Eggs. Boiling is the cooking process. Also, she recommended making a small hole [nail size] in the top of each egg before setting the eggs into the cold water. After eggs are in pot, bring water to boil without covering pot. After water comes to a boil, cover pot with a lid and let set 10-12 minutes . Quickly remove pot from burner and decant hot water. Fill pot with cold water, decant. repeat a few times. Put eggs in a ice bath bowl to cool down eggs (about 5 minutes). Eggs are ready to peel or put unpeeled into refrigerator to store.

I raise chickens so I've always got fresh eggs. When I boil them I put a small crack in each one by gently tapping on the counter. I always put 3 tablespoons of sea salt in mine and bring to a boil for 10 minutes then drain and then run cold water on them. They come out perfect (for me anyway) each time.
