- How to hard boil an egg
- Cover the eggs in a saucepan with water: Fill a saucepan about a quarter of the way with cold water. Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of the saucepan. Add more water so that the eggs are covered by at least an inch or two of water.
- Heat the pot on high heat and bring the water to a full rolling boil. (Adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the water may help keep egg whites from running out if an egg does crack while cooking. Also some people find adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water helps prevent cracking as well as making the eggs easier to peel.)
- Turn off the heat, keep the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. (If you have the type of stove burner that doesn't retain heat when turned off, you might want to lower the temp to low, simmer for a minute, and then turn it off.)
- Strain the water from the pan and run cold water over the eggs to cool them quickly and stop them from cooking further. Or, if you are cooking a large batch of eggs, remove them with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice water.
Notes
Cooking time does not include time to cook or cool the eggs. Hard Boiling eggs can vary greatly depending on your elevation.
