How to Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Boiling eggs the right way is easy with these simple instructions for how to make perfect hard-boiled eggs at home.
Ingredients
- large eggs (50 g each w/o shell)
Instructions
- Put water in a saucepan, and gently add large eggs (50 g each w/o shell) in a single layer. Make sure the eggs are completely covered by the water. Bring the water to a boil on medium heat. Gently rotate the eggs with chopsticks once in a while for the first 3 minutes so the egg yolks will be in the center.
- Once the water boils, lower the heat a bit. Keep the water gently boiling but don’t let the eggs jump around for the next 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes, pour out the hot water and run the eggs under cold water.
- When boiled eggs are almost cool, they are ready to peel.
