Hard Boiled Eggs

Believe it or not... I have actually done this wrong and burned the eggs. So I actually had to search online to figure out how to boil eggs correctly.

1. Place eggs in a saucepan with enough COLD tap water to cover completely by 1 inch. Bring to a ROLLING boil over HIGH heat. Once the water is brought to a rolling boil, PROMPTLY reduce heat to a lower medium boil and cook an additional 10 minutes for a “hard boiled” egg. For a “soft boiled” egg reduce the time by a few minutes.

2. Remove from heat and IMMEDIATELY place eggs under ice cold water. Chill for a few minutes in the cold water until the egg is completely cooled.

3. To peel...crack on all sides, roll egg between hands to loosen shell,and remove shell.

Refrigeration is necessary for hard boiled eggs if the eggs are not to be consumed within a few hours.

Refrigerated boiled eggs, kept in the shell, can be kept for up to 1 week.
