Hard Boiled Eggs
Description
This Hard Boiled Eggs recipe begins by placing uncracked large eggs in a pan covered with about an inch of cold water, ensuring all eggs are submerged. Heating the pan over medium brings the water to a boil. Once boiling, the heat is turned off and the pan is covered, letting residual heat steam the eggs for 20 minutes. This method avoids overcooking and reduces greenish yolks. Cooling the eggs rapidly under cold water after steaming makes peeling easier and stops further cooking.
The result is eggs with firm whites and fully cooked yolks, consistent in texture and color. Starting with cold water and using a timed, covered rest allows gentle cooking compared to boiling eggs for extended periods.
Ingredients
- 4 egg large, with no cracks
- water enough to cover eggs
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a medium pan, and cover with about an inch of cold water.
- Turn heat on to medium and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, shut the flame off and cover for 20 minutes, the steam will cook them. Run under cold water to let the eggs cool, then peel.
