Hard Boiled Eggs
What You Need:
12 eggs (several days old recommended)
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
Large saucepan, at least twice as tall as eggs
Instructions:
- Gently place eggs in the bottom of a saucepan in a single layer.
- fill the pan with cold water to completely cover the eggs by about 1 inch of water.
- place pot, uncovered, on a burner and turn it on high. Let the water come to a boil.
- once the water comes to a full boil, remove from heat, cover, and let’s stand for 9 to 12 minutes. The longer you let the eggs stand, the harder the yolks will be cooked.
- after the time is up, straighten the hot water out of the pan and fill it back up with cold water. Add ice cubes to the water and wait until the eggs have cold enough to handle. Or transfer the eggs to a bowl of premade ice water bath.
- Next, remove eggs from ice water bath, place in a bowl and Peele. Eggs may be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days.
