Ingredients
-
Eggs (any amount you want to boil)
-
Water
-
Ice (for ice bath)
-
Salt (optional — helps prevent cracking)
-
Let the eggs sit in the hot water:
-
Soft-boiled: 6 minutes
-
Medium-boiled: 9 minutes
-
Hard-boiled: 12 minutes
-
-
Transfer eggs immediately into an ice bath for 5 minutes.
-
Gently peel and enjoy!
Tips
-
Older eggs peel easier than very fresh ones.
-
Roll the egg gently on a counter to crack the shell before peeling.
-
For easier peeling, peel under running water.
-
Store boiled eggs (unpeeled) in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Instructions
-
Place your eggs gently in a pot.
-
Fill the pot with cold water, covering the eggs by about 1 inch.
-
Add a pinch of salt (optional).
-
Turn on the heat and bring the water to a full boil.
-
Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat.
