*** Hard-Boiled Eggs


  • Eggs!
Put cold eggs into a pan in one layer, cover them with water by about 1 inch, and put the pan over high heat. Watch it carefully to check for boiling.

When the water comes to a full boil (at least 209 F/98 C), remove it from the heat, and let sit for 15 minutes.

Remove the eggs to an ice bath (half ice, half water) until they're completely chilled, at least 10 minutes but preferably longer, giving the water a gentle stir every now and then to keep the cold circulating.

Undercooked: slightly orangy in the middle, safe to eat and yummy
Just right: perfectly yellow
Overcooked: greenish tinge to the yolks
