Perfect Boiled Eggs

This may seem simple to most, but as an amateur chef I know I sometimes need help with basic cooking techniques! So here's a simple way to hard boil your eggs!

4 eggs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place eggs in stainless steel pot, do not stack.
  2. 2
    Cover with cold water to where eggs are just immersed.
  3. 3
    Cook to boiling, immediately remove and cover with lid; let stand 20 minutes.
  4. 4
    Voila, the perfect boiled egg.
  5. 5
    Note: You can do this with however many eggs you need; I only chose 4 because they required me to give a serving size!

I like to try different methods of doing things from time to time. I needed some hard boiled eggs so decided to give this recipe a try. I followed the recipe exactly as written and my eggs came out perfect!

    Perhaps I did something wrong here...but mine were not perfectly cooked. I've always lightly boiled my hardboiled eggs for 15 minutes but saw this recipe and it sounded so much simpler! Tried it and 1/4 of the eggs were under cooked. I made 8 total and did not overlap. I even left them a few minutes longer than the stated 20 minutes. All my eggs were hard to peel as well. Must be something I did since so many others had great results. May try again or may just stick with what's worked for me all along. Thanks for posting! EDIT: For anyone experiencing the underdone problem I experienced with this recipe, please try Kittencal's Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs Kittencal's Technique for Perfect Easy-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs. I just cooked and peeled my first PERFECT hardboiled egg using this method!

    This is the only fool-proof way to hard cook eggs. Be sure to plunge in cold water after the 20 minutes is up to stop the cooking process. If you start peeling at the small end, you can 'almost' peel them perfectly.

    Simple task, perfect results. I just boiled 4 jumbo eggs following these directions and they turned out perfect. Bright yellow yolks completely done and easy to peel.
