How To Make perfect hard cooked eggs

Step 1

Put eggs in a suitable size sauce pan and cover with cold water, add the vinegar.

Step 2

Bring water to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Step 3

Drain water off, add cold water to stop cooking.
Step 4

Refrigerate until ready to eat or use for salads, deviled eggs, whatever you like. We like eating them just like they are, and I usually have some in the fridge ready to go.
