How To Make the Perfect Hard Boiled Egg + Pics
I love coloring eggs! But for some reason my boiling technique is not the best and my eggs always crack causing that white stuff to float to the top. It just doesn’t look festive. This year I googled How to make the perfect hard boiled egg and I followed the directions step by step. Honestly, I can’t believe it takes 8 steps, but what do you think? I want you to judge…
How to Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Things You’ll Need:
- Clean filtered water
- Eggs
- Medium sauce pan
- Cooking timer
- Eggs
- Water
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.
Finally, to the BEST crazy readers and followers in bloggy land – wishing you a Happy Easter!
