Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs Technique Recipes

Steps:

• Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 12 minutes.
• Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking. Eggs can be peeled and served immediately.

Steps:

• Place eggs into a saucepan and pour in cold water to cover; place over high heat. When the water just starts to simmer, turn off heat, cover pan with a lid, and let stand for 17 minutes. Don't peek.
• Pour out the hot water and pour cold water over eggs. Drain and refill with cold water; let stand until eggs are cool, about 20 minutes. Peel eggs under running water.

Steps:

• Place eggs in medium saucepan. Cover with water 1" above the eggs. Place on stovetop over high heat.
• Bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and cover. Let sit 18-20 minutes.
• Pour cold tap water into pot allowing the hot water out by holding the pot on a slant. Let eggs sit in cold water for 1-2 minutes, then peel easily.
• NOTE: (no garbage disposal/shells for gardening method) I peel the eggs under running cold water with a colander underneath to catch the shells. I placed the eggs onto paper towels to rid excess moisture for egg salad, OR place peeled eggs into a bowl of cold water, cover and refrigerate where they keep for about 4-5 days.

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a large pot with a lid. Pour cool water over the eggs until fully submerged and add the baking soda to the water. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with the lid. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for the following times according to the desired doneness: 3 minutes for SOFT boiled; 6 minutes for MEDIUM boiled; 12 minutes for HARD boiled.
• Prepare a bowl of ice water. Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice water to cool completely before peeling.

Steps:

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

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a saucepan.
• Cover the eggs with lukewarm water.
• Add in vinegar and pinch salt.
• Bring to a full boil over medium heat; boil for 2 minutes (start timing after the water reaches a full boil).
• Remove from heat cover with a tight lid.
• Allow the eggs to stand for 11 minutes.
• Drain the eggs a couple times under very cold water.
• Cover the eggs with cold water then add in some ice.
• Allow the eggs to sit in ice water for about 3 minutes.
• Drain and peel.

Steps:

• Put room temp eggs into a pot with water, 1 inch over eggs for water.
• Boil eggs at medium high till you see the bubbles.
• Once you see bubbles set a timer for 5 minutes.
• Take off burner, put top on pot and leave for 10 minutes.
• Run cold water over eggs.
• DONE.

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.

Steps:

• About 30 minutes before you wish to eat your eggs, place the eggs in the warm water bath. Leave them in there for about 30 minutes or so, or until the eggs are room temperature or a bit warmer. (This step is critical so that the eggs don't crack when you submerge them in the boiling water).
• Now, fill a medium bowl with cold water and add a handful of ice cubes (alternatively, you can place cold water in a bowl and put it in the fridge or even freezer - it'll only be in there for 10 minutes, anyway.).
• Bring a medium pan of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Lower the eggs into the water -- I use my handy wire egg sieve for this maneuver -- and simmer for exactly 8 minutes (7 and a half for golden yellow yolkeyness, and 9 if you don't want a soft center in your yolk).
• When the timer goes off, lift the eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon (again, I use my wire egg sieve) and put them in the bowl of ice water; this will halt the cooking.
• When the eggs are cold -- this will take just a couple of minutes -- tap them gently on the counter to crack their shell all around, and return to the bowl a few more minutes: the water will infiltrate the eggs beneath the shell and make them easier to peel. (Also, when peeling the eggs, notice that there is a thin skin between the white and the shell; once found and ruptured, that skin provides good leverage to peel off the shell.).
• Keep the eggs in the fridge and eat within a day or two.

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a pan.
• Bring to a boil over med-high heat.
• Cover and remove from heat for 17 minutes.
• Place eggs into an ice bath for 15 minutes or until cool.
• At this point you can peel the eggs, place the eggs into a container of water in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Do not place the eggs in the refrigerator with the shell on, it wil be impossible to peel later.
