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.

12 eggs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • 1 quart water (more if necessary to cover the eggs completely)

Directions

  1. 1
    Place eggs in pot and cover with water.

When it comes to something as easy as making hard boiled eggs, I have been challenged at best. Now I ask myself why? Your recipe has solved this little mystery for me. Now my wife asks me to make the eggs for her ahead of time for her recipes.

    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.

    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.

    Great way to cook eggs. I followed the recipe as written other then I cooked 18 eggs at a time. They came out perfect. I did add salt to the water as my mommy always told me the eggs peel easier that way.
