How to Boil Eggs
Description
Begin by bringing water to a rolling boil in a medium pot. Gently lower eggs using a strainer ladle to avoid cracking. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook eggs for 15 minutes. After cooking, transfer the eggs into an ice bath for 5 minutes to halt cooking and facilitate peeling.
Once cooled, lightly tap the eggs on a countertop to crack the shell; this method allows the shells to come off neatly, leaving perfectly cooked eggs inside. This reliable technique produces firm whites and yolks appropriate for a variety of culinary uses.
Hard-boiled eggs can be stored peeled in an airtight container or a sealed bag in the refrigerator for up to one week, helping with meal prep and convenient snacking.
