LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 In a 2-quart saucepan, place the eggs in a single layer. Add enough cold water until it is at least 1 inch above the eggs. Heat uncovered to boiling over high heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover with lid; let stand 18 minutes.
  • 2 Immediately pour off the hot water from the eggs, then run cool water over them in the saucepan until completely cool.
  • 3 Tap each egg lightly on the kitchen counter to crackle the shell. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell, then peel starting at the large end. If the shell is hard to peel, hold egg under cold water while peeling.

Brought eggs to a rolling boil and let them boil for about 20 seconds, put the lid on and turned off the burner. Set the timer for 18 minutes, poured off the water and filled the pan with cold water and some ice cubes. Absolutely perfect eggs.

Followed this to the letter and just dumped out a dozen eggs that were a goopy mess. Can you specify "boil", is it a hard boil, rolling boil???????? Gonna try again but do longer on the boiling.

I always tend to overcook or undercook my hardboiled eggs and these came out absolutely PERFECT!The yolks were nice and firm and didn't have the green ring around them. The shells did not crack while boiling and they peeled beautifully!
