The Most Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs No Needles Involved Recipes

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:

• 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 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 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.

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 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:

• Fill a large pot halfway with water, making sure the pot is large enough to contain eggs in a single layer. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Place eggs in boiling water individually using a large spoon, making sure not to break them. Continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 25 minutes.
• Place eggs under cold water until eggs have cooled.

Steps:

• Fill a pot with enough water to cover all eggs. Bring to a boil. Lower eggs gently into the boiling water using a slotted spoon.
• Return to a gentle boil and cook for 13 to 15 minutes, depending on how firm you want the yolks. Remove from heat and drain water, keeping eggs in the pot. Fill the pot quickly with cold water to cool eggs. Add ice to speed the process.
• When eggs are cool enough to handle, remove each one and gently crack the shell on all sides, without removing any shell. Place eggs back in the cold water and let stand for 15 minutes. Peel and remove egg shells to serve.
