how to hard boil an egg
There are about as many techniques for hard-boiling eggs as there are eggs out there, but I use the method my mother showed me: submerge a large egg in enough cold water to cover it and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it begins to boil, set the timer for 10 minutes. Plunge the egg into cold water to get it to stop cooking; plus, cold eggs are much easier to peel.
Great site post.
my homie a blog owner too.
Yay! I googled hard boiled eggs and smittenkitchen. I knew you could tell me how long for hard boiled eggs!
Does the required time change depending on the number of eggs you are hard boiling?? I did it yesterday with 4 and they came out perfect (….thank you!). Now I am doing 10 or more, but wasn’t sure. Thanks!
It should not. But, of course, you’ll want a big pot with lots of water.
Do you turn the heat off once the water boils?
