Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt (optional)

Directions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a pot. Cover with cold water by about an inch. Lid on.

  2. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

  3. Remove from heat and let stand 6-14 minutes (adjust slightly for egg size).

  4. Drain and run cold water over eggs until cooled to prevent green rings on the yolks.

Notes

  • Peeling: Older eggs peel easier. Crack the shell all over, roll between your hands, and peel from the large end under running water.
  • Storage: Keep shell-on in a sealed container for up to 1 week in the fridge.
  • Raw or cooked? Spin it — hard boiled eggs spin smoothly, raw eggs wobble.
