Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs.
Step 1
Begin by filling a large pot with enough water to fully submerge your eggs, then bring it to a vigorous boil.
Step 2
With a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the bubbling water, allowing the temperature to stabilize back to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Let the eggs cook for 13 to 15 minutes, adjusting the time based on your desired yolk firmness.
Step 4
Once they’re perfectly cooked, remove the pot from the heat and drain the hot water while keeping the eggs inside.
Step 5
Immediately fill the pot with cold water to halt the cooking process, adding ice cubes for an extra chill.
Step 6
When the eggs are cool enough to handle, gently tap the shells on a hard surface to crack them all around, but don’t peel just yet.
Step 7
Return the eggs to the cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes.
Step 8
For easy peeling, do this under running water or in a bowl of water, which helps the shells slide off effortlessly.
Step 9
Enjoy your perfectly boiled eggs, whether for a salad, a snack, or a delightful breakfast!.
