Instructions

  1. To boil eggs, place eggs in a single layer in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Do not add more eggs than a single layer or they will not produce the perfect hard boiled egg.
  2. Cover the eggs with fresh water, plus about 1 to 2 inches of water. Add baking soda. Place saucepan onto stovetop at medium-low heat and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Cover and remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to sit for 12 minutes.
  3. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop all cooking.
  4. To peel eggs, simply tap them on their sides onto a hard surface such as a counter top. Then, carefully peel the shell away. If the eggs seem hard to peel, I've found peeling them under a slight stream of running, cold water to be helpful. Eggs, once peeled, may stay in an airtight container for 5 to 7 days.

Notes

  • Hard-boiled eggs will last for up to a week in the refrigerator - peeled and unpeeled. I like to go ahead and peel them for easier use and store them in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • For travel, you can also store them in a zip-top container and remove as much air as possible from the bag as you seal it.
