Best Perfect Hard Boiled Egg Recipes

KEN'S PERFECT HARD BOILED EGG (AND I MEAN PERFECT)

Steps:

• Combine the salt, vinegar, and water in a large pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the eggs one at a time, being careful not to crack them. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil, and cook for 14 minutes.
• Once the eggs have cooked, remove them from the hot water, and place into a container of ice water or cold, running water. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

A PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGG

Steps:

• Place eggs in a single layer in a heavy saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt (Salting the water helps minimize leaks if the eggs crack in the pan; the egg whites coagulate and seal off the crack more quickly). Turn the heat to high. As soon as the water comes to a gentle boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan.
• For creamy yolks, remove the lid after 10 minutes and run cold water over eggs for 1 minute. Set aside to cool at room temperature. For firmer yolks, leave the eggs to cool in the cooking water, uncovered, for up to 2 hours. To test if an egg has been cooked, spin it on a counter. A hard boiled egg spins faster than a raw egg.
• To peel, gently tap a boiled egg against the counter, turning and tapping to make a crackle pattern. Start peeling at the broad end, where there is an air pocket. Running the egg under cold water is not necessary, unless they are too hot to handle.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGG

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a pan of cold water.
• Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes (i.e., once it boils only cook 2 minutes).
• Turn the heat off. Cover the pan and let stand for 11 minutes.
• Transfer the eggs to cold water and let them soak until cooled. (I rinsed my eggs a couple times in cold water and made sure I waited until they were completely cooled before removing shells. Later I thought I should have put some ice cubes in the water to speed it up.).
• Peel off the shells and enjoy.

This helps prevent cracking.

THE PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGG

PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGG

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water. Water should just cover the eggs.
• Bring the water to a boil on medium-high heat.
• Turn the burner off and place a lid on the saucepan.
• Set the timer for 13 minutes.
• When the timer goes off, use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the hot water. Place them into a bowl of ice water. The ice water will stop the cooking process.
• Allow them to cool and remain in the ice water for approximately 15 minutes.
• Once the eggs are cool, start the peeling process by gently rolling the egg to break up the shell.
• Once the shell is slightly crushed, start peeling.
• When the entire egg is peeled, dip it in a small bowl of water or place it under running water to get rid of any excess shells.
• The perfectly boiled egg with a nice and yellow yolk is ready to be used.
