How To Make the Perfect Hard Boiled Egg + Pics

Place the eggs gently onto the bottom of a medium saucepan.

Fill the pan so the eggs are covered by at least one inch of water, though you can add more water if you wish.

Set the pan onto an appropriately-sized burner and turn the heat onto medium-high.

Start a kitchen timer for 12 minutes.

Let the water begin boiling, approximately two minutes; turn the heat down to medium and simmer the eggs for the rest of the time.

Once the timer has gone off, immediately pour out most of the hot water without letting any of the eggs drop out of the pan.

Run cold water over the eggs to shock them. This stops the cooking process and prevents the yolks from forming a grey-green ring around the outside of the yolk.

Put the eggs into the refrigerator to chill once the eggs have cooled to the point that they can be handled safely.
