Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

Equipment

  • Sauce Pan
  • Bowl

Ingredients

Hard Boiled Eggs

  • 3 Eggs Older eggs (not expired) are easier to peel than fresh eggs.
  • dash salt

Instructions

  • Cover the eggs in a saucepan with water. Add more water so that the eggs are covered by at least an inch or two of water.
  • Heat the pot on high heat (8-10) and bring the water to a full rolling boil
  • Turn off the heat, keep the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes
  • Depending on how cooked you like your hard boiled eggs, the eggs should be done perfectly in 10-12 minutes
  • Carefully drain out hot water, and replace with cold water. You want to cool the eggs quickly to stop them from cooking inside. You may want to use an ice bath
  • Let eggs chill in ice water for about 10-15 minutes.

Peel your eggs

  • Crackle the egg all over by tapping it on your counter.
  • Roll the egg gently between your hands to loosen the shell
  • Peel the egg starting at the large end. If you hold the egg under cold running water or dip it in a bowl of water this will help remove the shell.

Egg Storage

  • The best way to store hard boiled eggs is in a covered container in the refrigerator. Eggs can release odors in the fridge which is why it helps to keep them covered.
  • They should be eaten within 5 days.
