Hard-boiled Eggs Recipe

	Xnipek / All my dishes 1 month ago Sounds funny, but some people can't boil an egg - there is a way to get flavorful, bright yellow yolks, and avoid the often greenish, sulphurous results of overcooked eggs. Prep:5m Cook:20m Servings:3	Xnipek

Ingredients

Eggs, (no more than a dozen.per batch)

Directions

Place a cooking trivet in a two-quart saucepan to keep the eggs from touching the pan bottom. Actually, the size saucepan will be determined by the number of eggs - keep to a single layer of eggs.

Use a sharp point to carefully tap a 1/8-inch hole in the air-chamber end of each egg. If unable to tell which end has the chamber, submerge the egg in a bowl of water, the air chamber end will raise up. Without the hole, the eggs will tend to split open.

Place the eggs in the saucepan and fill with cool water to cover by an inch. If the eggs fill the bottom, use a little more water.

Place a lid on saucepan, place the saucepan over high heat only until the water boils, then remove from the heat.

Let stand 15 minutes.

Drain, refill with cool water, then shell the eggs and use as desired.

Thanks! This is such a basic skill, yet I always pause, think and still feel uncertain every time I decide to boil them! And I raise chickens!
