Steps:
- Very carefully place eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan or pot. Fill pan with cold water to about two inches above the eggs.
- Place pot over medium heat and bring to a boil, uncovered. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- As soon as the water comes to a full boil (with large bubbles), set the timer for two minutes. Let boil uncovered.
- Once the timer goes off, remove the eggs from heat and cover at once. Let sit for exactly 10 minutes (12 minutes if you're using extra-large eggs).
- Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice. When the 10 minutes is up, use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the hot water and add to the bowl of ice water. Up until now, you've been very gentle, but now's the time to get a little aggression out and let the eggs drop from a couple of inches up, or shake the bowl a bit to give them a small crack or two. This helps to make them easier to peel.
- Allow eggs to sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes until completely cool. Peel immediately or refrigerate. I find that peeling the eggs under lukewarm water helps release the shell a bit easer.
THE PERFECT BOILED EGGS
Steps:
- Put the eggs in a large pot with a lid. Pour cool water over the eggs until fully submerged and add the baking soda to the water. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with the lid. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for the following times according to the desired doneness: 3 minutes for SOFT boiled; 6 minutes for MEDIUM boiled; 12 minutes for HARD boiled.
- Prepare a bowl of ice water. Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice water to cool completely before peeling.

Steps:
- Add the eggs to a saucepan and cover 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. The more eggs that are crowding the pan the more water you should have over the eggs. 6 eggs should be covered by at least an inch, 7 to 12 eggs, 2 inches.
- Bring to a rolling boil: Leave the pan uncovered. Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit: Depending on how cooked you like your hard boiled eggs, the eggs should be done perfectly after sitting for 10-12 minutes. That said, depending on your altitude, the shape of the pan, the size of the eggs, and the ratio of water to eggs, it can take a few minutes more. Or if you like your eggs not fully hard cooked, it can take a few minutes less. When you find a time that works for you, given your preferences, the types of eggs you buy, your pots, stove, and cooking environment, stick with it. I also find that it is very hard to overcook eggs using this method. I can let the eggs sit, covered, for up to 15-18 minutes without the eggs getting overcooked.
- Strain and run under cold water: Strain the hot water from the pan, careful not to dump out the eggs, and run cold water over them until they are cool to the touch. This will stop the eggs from cooking further and make them easier to peel. Or, if you are cooking a large batch of eggs, remove them with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice water. Let them sit for a few minutes, or until cooled.
- Peel or store for later: I find it easiest to peel the eggs under a bit of running water. The best way to store hard boiled eggs is unpeeled in a covered container in the refrigerator. Eggs can release odors in the fridge which is why it helps to keep them covered. They should be eaten within 5 days. Peeled eggs should be eaten within a day or two. Did you love this recipe? Give us some stars below! The good thing about this method is that even if you forget and the eggs sit in the water a few minutes longer than you had planned, they'll still be fine. Some people like their eggs less or more hard cooked than others. If you want your eggs still a little translucent in the center, let them seep in the hot water for only 6 minutes or so.
