Steps:
- Place eggs in a single layer in a heavy saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt (Salting the water helps minimize leaks if the eggs crack in the pan; the egg whites coagulate and seal off the crack more quickly). Turn the heat to high. As soon as the water comes to a gentle boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan.
- For creamy yolks, remove the lid after 10 minutes and run cold water over eggs for 1 minute. Set aside to cool at room temperature. For firmer yolks, leave the eggs to cool in the cooking water, uncovered, for up to 2 hours. To test if an egg has been cooked, spin it on a counter. A hard boiled egg spins faster than a raw egg.
- To peel, gently tap a boiled egg against the counter, turning and tapping to make a crackle pattern. Start peeling at the broad end, where there is an air pocket. Running the egg under cold water is not necessary, unless they are too hot to handle.
Tips:
- Choose fresh eggs. Older eggs are more likely to crack during cooking.
- Preheat the oven to the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the eggs will overcook and become rubbery. If the oven is too cool, the eggs will not cook properly.
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a baking dish. Do not overcrowd the dish, or the eggs will not cook evenly.
- Add water to the baking dish. This will help to create a humid environment that will prevent the eggs from drying out.
- Bake the eggs for the recommended amount of time. Do not overcook the eggs, or they will become tough.
- Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath after cooking. This will stop the cooking process and prevent the eggs from becoming overcooked.
- Peel the eggs under cold running water. This will make it easier to remove the shells.
Conclusion:
Hard-boiled eggs are a versatile and nutritious food that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of protein, healthy fats, and vitamins. By following these tips, you can cook perfect hard-boiled eggs every time.
