How to Make the Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Introduction:
I’ve never been a fan of hard boiled eggs. I don’t like egg salad, and I won’t eat deviled eggs. So when I met my husband and realized he LOVES hard boiled eggs, egg salad, and deviled eggs… I knew I had to perfect the boiled egg. And here’s the result!

Equipment:
- 1 Stainless Steel Pot (size depends on the number of eggs)
Ingredients:
- Eggs, as many as you please (any size, any color, any brand; I use large organic brown eggs)
Instructions:
- Arrange your eggs in the bottom of a pot. Make sure they have enough room to sit without being crowded.
- Fill your pot with cold water until it reaches about 1 inch above the eggs.
- Set the pot over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Immediately after a rolling boil begins, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from the heat.
- Set a timer for 10 minutes.
- Prepare an ice bath prior to your timer going off (this step is crucial).
- Once 10 minutes have passed, transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to the ice bath and let them rest for 20 minutes.
- Peel and enjoy… or pack in Hubby’s lunch like I do!
- If you’re planning on storing, place them in a sealed container and store in the fridge for up to a week!
Cooking Tips:
- Remove from heat and cover as soon as it hits a rolling boil. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- For Soft boiled eggs – 6 minutes.
- For Medium boiled eggs – 8 minutes.
