Notes
How To Hard Boil Eggs (+ Options)
Option #1: Buy Them Pre-Boiled
No shame in taking a shortcut! Buying them already hard-boiled will cut out any cooking time.Option #2: Use This RAPID EGG COOKER
We have one of these electric egg cookers and I highly recommend it if you hard boil eggs frequently. It makes hard-boiling eggs quick and easy!Option #3: The Old Fashioned Way
Here is a step-by-step guide to hard-boiling your eggs the old-fashioned way:- Choose Fresh Eggs - begin with fresh eggs, because they are easier to peel. Older eggs tend to have a higher pH level, making the whites likely to stick to the shell during peeling.
- Bring Eggs to Room Temperature - this helps prevent cracking when they are submerged in hot water.
- Arrange Eggs in a Single Layer - Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a saucepan. Avoid overcrowding to promote even cooking and reduce the risk of cracking.
- Add Cold Water - Cover the eggs with cold water, ensuring they are submerged by at least an inch. This helps them cook evenly and prevents the whites from becoming rubbery.
- Bring to a Gentle Boil - place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, depending on your desired yolk consistency.
- Cool Quickly - after boiling, promptly transfer the eggs to an ice bath or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. This helps in easier peeling and ensures the perfect texture.
- Peel with Care - once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and roll them to crack the shell. Begin peeling from the wider end where the air pocket is located. Peeling under running water can aid in removing any stubborn shell bits.
- Store - store the hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator if not consumed immediately. They can be refrigerated for up to a week. You can pre-boil them a few days before preparing the deviled eggs.
