How to Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Author: 
 
Hard-boiling eggs is a basic kitchen skill. They seem easy, but they can be fussy... shells cracking, green rings forming around the yolk. Here is how we boil eggs so that they are cooked through without an annoying green ring around the yolk, and with shells intact.
You'll need...
  • Raw eggs
  • Pot
  • Water
  • Ice
Here's what to do...
  1. Place your eggs in a pan big enough for them all to fit in a single layer.
  2. Cover the eggs with water and then continue to add water until it is about an inch higher than the top of the eggs.
  3. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water to help the shells peel more easily. Don't worry about stirring the vinegar in.
  4. Put the pot on the stove with a lid on, and bring the water just to a boil.
  5. As soon as you see the water boiling, move the pot off the burner and keep the lid on.
  6. Set your timer to 12 minutes.
  7. When the timer goes off, drain the hot water, leaving the eggs in the pot.
  8. Add ice, then cover the eggs with water again.
  9. Let the eggs sit in the cold water until they are chilled. They should be ready in 10 minutes or so.
  10. Remove from the water and refrigerate, or peel and use! Eat your hard boiled eggs within a week
