The Easiest Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs (Technique)

Recipe #302972 | 21 min | 1 min prep | add private note

There are many ways that work well to boil eggs such as adding salt (who needs that extra salt?), using a needle to poke a hole in the eggs (way too tedious and unnecessary), adding ice or vinegar for easy peeling, etc., etc., etc. Unfortunately, those methods are all too time consuming for most people. I've been using this technique since I was a teenager (so long ago). This technique is perfect and the absolute simplest above all the others. Oh, and no utensils needed either, how cool is that!?!

6 eggs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place eggs in medium saucepan. Cover with water 1" above the eggs. Place on stovetop over high heat.
  2. 2
    Bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and cover. Let sit 20 minutes.
  3. 3
    Pour cold tap water into pot allowing the hot water out by holding the pot on a slant. Let eggs sit in cold water for 1-2 minutes, then peel easily.

I'm not sure why this didn't work out for me. I followed the instructions exactly but my eggs were so soft that they broke in half when I tried to peel them, and they didn't peel easily either.

    I tried this method and it worked perfectly. I have one of those special testers that you put in the water and that doesn't give as good of results! I will do this everytime from now on. thanks!
