Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

water, as needed
12 eggs, at room temperature
12 cubes ice cubes

Steps:

  • Fill a pot with enough water to cover all eggs. Bring to a boil. Lower eggs gently into the boiling water using a slotted spoon.
  • Return to a gentle boil and cook for 13 to 15 minutes, depending on how firm you want the yolks. Remove from heat and drain water, keeping eggs in the pot. Fill the pot quickly with cold water to cool eggs. Add ice to speed the process.
  • When eggs are cool enough to handle, remove each one and gently crack the shell on all sides, without removing any shell. Place eggs back in the cold water and let stand for 15 minutes. Peel and remove egg shells to serve.

These eggs were a little overcooked for my taste, but they were still good. I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I've tried so many hard-boiled egg recipes and this is the only one that has consistently worked for me. The eggs are always cooked perfectly and they're easy to peel.

These eggs were so easy to make and they came out great! I love that I don't have to worry about them cracking in the pot.

I followed the recipe exactly and my hard-boiled eggs turned out perfect! They were easy to peel and had a creamy yolk. I will definitely be making these again.
