Sometimes making hard boiled eggs isn't as easy as one would think. I can't even tell you how many times it hasn't worked out for me. Embarrassing, I know!
Every time I made them I had to call my mom. For some reason I couldn't remember how! Maybe it's because I'm sleep deprived...we'll go with that. One time I wrote the instructions down and put them somewhere safe, so safe, the next time I needed them I couldn't find them anywhere.
Looking online proved useless because there are about 7,200 different ways to make them apparently. I have never had a successful hard boiled egg when I cooked them for 10 minutes...that's not long enough. I always use large eggs...so that could be the reason. Anyway...
I am posting the directions today, even if it's for my benefit more then anything but I hope you can benefit too.
The Perfect Hard Boiled Egg
Directions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water
- Cover saucepan with a lid
- Place pan on stove top, and turn on high
- Bring the water to a boil
- Turn off heat, keep the pan on the heat
- Let sit for 20 minutes
- Drain water
- Fill saucepan with cold water to cool the eggs
- Eat right away, or refrigerate
Easy right?
So why can't I remember!
How cute is this?
I've got to try it!
This is exactly how I make my hard-boiled eggs too! I've had to ask my mom like 1.3 billion times before I actually remembered it too!
ReplyDelete@SarahinSC That makes me feel better! I'm glad I'm not the only one.!. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried them this way,they look great,thanks again for joining us :)
ReplyDeleteI'll try this the next time I make deviled eggs. That's about the only time I boil eggs.
ReplyDeleteI usually dump them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Results can be unpredictable, but it's quick. I will try this method next time I cook a large batch. Undercooked eggs en masse are no fun.
ReplyDeleteI've had issues getting perfect hard boiled eggs will try this method. And I'll try to get that heart shape eggs for valentines day breakfast...Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for sharing so close to Easter! I let mine boil for a minute and then sit for 17 minutes. Absolutely perfect every time! Placing in ice water afterwards allows the shell to come off with little effort for egg dishes:)
