Martha Stewart's Hard Boiled Eggs 101

Recipe #173837 | 17 min | 1 min prep | 12 eggs (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: dojemi

I've been cooking hard boiled eggs like this for years. It really works. A TV chef recently suggested draining the water and shaking the boiled eggs in the pot in order to crack the shells, then submerge them in cold water to cool........makes for easier peeling.

    The inside is the perfect color all the way thru when cooked this way. Very even, only way to boil eggs and use less electricity than leaving it on boiling w/out a lid.

    We have been making eggs this way for at least 15 years, and also would make them no other way. I got this same recipe from Julia Child's "The Way to Cook" (1989) page 62. Martha must like Julia also!

    I won't make hard boiled eggs any other way. They come out perfect every time. You don't have to stand by the stove an watch so the eggs don;t boil over. Fantastic! I keep mine in the water for only 10 minutes.
