I was just watching the Rachael Ray show and she said that this was the best way to perfectly hard boil an egg every time. I right away tried it and she was right. The eggs were perfect.

Ingredients
  • Eggs
  • Pot with a cover and big enough to cover eggs with water

Directions
  1. Put the eggs in the pot and cover them with cold water.
  2. Cover the pot.
  3. Turn on heat to high and bring the water to a boil.
  4. After a rolling boil, turn off the heat and leave the pot covered for 10 minutes.
  5. After the 11 minutes, remove the cover and run cold water over the eggs until the eggs are cold.
  6. Eggs should be very easy to peel and shouldn’t have a green ring.
  7. Enjoy

Martha Stewart's method is very similar and you are right, it's perfect every time.


Maybe my daughter can do this! She has a hard time in the kitchen but she'll be ok


Good hint, great post also. You have my 5


Great Post! I can never boil an egg right, as sad as that sounds! Thanks! Kelly


Awesome, I couldn't agree more! The yolks come out so buttery and creamy and mmmm...delish as Rachel would say. ;D Great post, thanks for sharing and thanks for joining my group! Cheers! ~Laura ;D


Good info. The easy way to peel them is:
Pour most of the water out of the pan
Bounce eggs in pan until shell is cracked all over.
Start peeling on the end where the air bubble is
When you are peeling make sure to peel the membrane between the egg and the shell with the shell
It will peel right off with out tearing egg white


I do mine this way but I put table salt in the water. They peel better. Fantastic post!


Donman.. Good morning. I make egg salad once a week (it's what my husband eats for first break at work) he loves it. I always tell him that I will fix him breakfast but he does not like to eat at 4:30 A.M. This is what he takes to work plus a glass of O.J. Anyway back to the hard eggs. I can never peel the little suckers. They fall apart, then I say what the heck they just go into my salad shooter anyway, But then there are times when I want to make deviled eggs and that is what I call Not Pretty. So thanks for the tip. I will have to print this one out to always have it on hand. You got my five for this one.


This is the way I do mine; I saw the recipe in our local paper. This really does work well! Great post! - Natalie
