How To Make tip: perfect hard-boiled eggs
-
Step 11. Place the eggs (as many as you want) in a single layer in the bottom of a lidded sauce pan.
-
Step 22. Fill with water to a point 1 inch above the eggs
-
Step 33. Place over high heat and bring just to a good boil.
-
Step 44. Immediately remove from heat, cover, and allow to sit for precisely 16 minutes.
-
Step 55. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking.
-
Step 66. Peel and use.
-
Step 7Note: Eggs that are a week or more old are easier to peel than fresh eggs and eggs that have spent the night in the refrigerator are easier to peel. You can also add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the cooking water to make them easier to peel.
