Hard Cooked Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Place your eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat and set aside 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, then add your eggs and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, then add your eggs and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a deep saucepan; cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 14 minutes. Transfer to an iced water bath; let cool completely.

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a pot and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to just below a boil. Add eggs to steamer insert and steam for 15 minutes.
• Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water until cool enough to handle. Make a small crack on the large end of each egg and place eggs back into the ice water for about 20 minutes. Peel.

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan, place the eggs in a single layer. Add enough cold water until it is at least 1 inch above the eggs. Heat uncovered to boiling over high heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover with lid; let stand 15 minutes.
• Immediately pour off the hot water from the eggs, then run cool water over them in the saucepan until completely cool.
• Tap each egg lightly on the kitchen counter to crackle the shell. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell, then peel starting at the large end. If the shell is hard to peel, hold egg under cold water while peeling.

Steps:

• Position the oven racks in the center of the oven.
• Place the eggs on the racks.
• Place a baking sheet pan in the bottom of the oven (just in case an egg breaks).
• Set the oven to 325F, and bake for 30 minutes.
• When the eggs are done, fill a large bowl with ice water and move the eggs into the bowl.
• Peel the eggs as soon as they're cool enough to handle, then return them to the ice water to thoroughly chill.

Steps:

• Place eggs in pan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch.
• Cover and quickly bring to a boil; remove from heat.
• Let stand for 15 min for large eggs (18 min for ex-large and 12 min for medium eggs).
• Rinse in cold water and place in ice water until completely cooled.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a single layer in a heavy saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt (Salting the water helps minimize leaks if the eggs crack in the pan; the egg whites coagulate and seal off the crack more quickly). Turn the heat to high. As soon as the water comes to a gentle boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan.
• For creamy yolks, remove the lid after 10 minutes and run cold water over eggs for 1 minute. Set aside to cool at room temperature. For firmer yolks, leave the eggs to cool in the cooking water, uncovered, for up to 2 hours. To test if an egg has been cooked, spin it on a counter. A hard boiled egg spins faster than a raw egg.
• To peel, gently tap a boiled egg against the counter, turning and tapping to make a crackle pattern. Start peeling at the broad end, where there is an air pocket. Running the egg under cold water is not necessary, unless they are too hot to handle.

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover.
• Bring the water to a boil and immediately turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit in the pan for 15 minutes.
• Remove the eggs to a bowl and allow to rest for at least 2 minutes. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, crack the eggs on each side and then roll them back and forth with your hand, breaking up the shell. Remove and discard the shell.
