Are you tired of ending up with overcooked or undercooked eggs when trying to make hard-boiled eggs? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this foolproof guide, we will walk you through the steps to prepare perfect hard-boiled eggs every time.

What You’ll Need

Before we begin, gather the following ingredients and tools:

  • Fresh eggs
  • A pot
  • Water
  • A timer
  • A slotted spoon or tongs
  • A bowl of ice water

The Step-by-Step Process to Perfectly Cooked Eggs

Follow these simple steps for foolproof hard-boiled eggs:

  1. Place the eggs in a single layer in the pot. Add enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
  2. Place the pot on the stove and set it over medium heat.
  3. Once the water starts boiling, let it continue boiling for about 1 minute.
  4. Turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid.
  5. Set the timer for your desired level of doneness:
    • 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with a runny yolk
    • 8 minutes for slightly soft-boiled eggs with a custardy yolk
    • 10 minutes for fully set hard-boiled eggs
  6. While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
  7. Once the timer goes off, carefully transfer the eggs from the pot to the bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon or tongs.
  8. Let the eggs sit in the ice water for at least 5 minutes to cool and stop the cooking process.
  9. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the shell off.
  10. Your perfect hard-boiled eggs are now ready to be enjoyed!

Tips and Tricks for Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

Here are some additional tips to help you achieve egg-cellent results:

  • Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
