As I am boiling eggs for my daughter to color today, it comes to mind that everyone seems to have a different sure fire way to get the perfect hard boiled egg.
CarriesCooking Hard Boiled Egg
- Place eggs in pan.
- Cover eggs with water.
- Heat eggs over high heat until water comes to a rapid boil.
- Turn off heat on stove, leaving pan on hot burner. (I use electric stoves. I am not sure if this would work on a gas stove.)
- Set timer for 10 minutes.
- Pull eggs from water and put into cool bath.
What is your never fail way of making the perfect hard boiled egg?

Boil water w/ salt. Add eggs, set timer for 15 minutes. Pour off hot water, run cold water over eggs until cool.
HARD COOKED EGGS: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan then add enough water to come at least 1" above the eggs. Cover and bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat leaving them covered for approximately 15 minutes for large eggs. Adjust timer by about 3 minutes up or down for larger or smaller eggs. After the timer goes off place eggs in a bowl of ice water until completely cooled. I find 17 minutes for extra large eggs is just right.
Thank you for posting your hard boiled egg methods. If someone else has a different method please post it.
