Easy Secrets to Cooking Eggs: Hard Boiling

Chow Ciao

Hardboiled eggs are made easy in Fabio's simple cooking primer.

Tips:

  • Tricks to the hard boil: Use your older eggs for hard-cooking, as they release their shells easier.

  • Boil the water with the eggs. Don't place raw eggs into boiling water, or the whites, which quick faster than the yolks, will be overcooked and tough.

PERFECTLY BOILED EGGS

6 large eggs

Gently put the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by at least one inch. Bring the water to a boil. Once at a boil, turn off the heat and remove from the burner. Cover the saucepan and allow it to sit, undisturbed for six minutes for soft-boiled eggs and up to ten minutes for hard-boiled.

Remove the eggs from the saucepan and transfer into a bowl of very cold water.

Peel and eat or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

MANGIA!
