How to Make How to Boil Eggs Perfectly
To boil eggs hard-boiled, you will need fresh eggs and water. Follow these steps:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough water to fully cover them.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a boil.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and start the timer.
- Boil the eggs in the simmering water for approximately 9-12 minutes, depending on the desired level of yolk doneness. Here are some recommendations:
- 9 minutes: Soft yolk, semi-liquid center.
- 10-11 minutes: Medium-firm yolk, slightly creamy center.
- 12 minutes: Hard yolk, fully cooked center.
- When the boiling time is up, carefully transfer the eggs to a saucepan with cold water or run them under cold tap water to stop the cooking process and cool the eggs.
- Gently tap and peel the eggs, starting from the wider end, to make it easier to remove the shells.
Now you have hard-boiled eggs! You can serve them as a snack, add them to salads, or use them in various recipes.
