How do you hardboil eggs?!


Question: How do you hardboil eggs!?
Pretty straightforward!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
It is strait-forward but not as obvious as some of the answers below!. To get them right every time (no grey on the yolk) simply do the following:

-place eggs in large pot as not to overcrowd
-fill with COLD water so that it covers the eggs by 1" (by 1/2 an index finger)
-bring pot to a boil (uncovered)
-as soon as it starts to rolling boil, remove from heat and cover for 15 minutes
-if you want them to peel off in as large of a shell piece as possible, run eggs under cold water before peeling

Bring some water to a boil (enough to fit all eggs without overflowing the pot and make sure the water covers all the eggs)

Put the eggs in, and boil them for 12 minutes watching the pot!.

After 12 minutes of boiling take the eggs out and put them into a ready bowl of ice water!.

I would immediately peel the eggshells off of the eggs after dunking them in the ice water!.

The shells are kind of a pain to get off if you wait too long!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Perfect unbroken eggs every time:
Put a metal collapse steamer into a sauce pan with a lid!. Add one inch of water and bring it to a boil!.
Put eggs into the steamer and turn the heat down to medium and let that water boil for 13 minutes!.
Remove eggs and drop them into ice water for 10-20 minutes!.
The end!. Perfect steamed eggs, creamy and wonderful every time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put them in a pan of cold water, with water covering the eggs by an inch or so!. Make sure eggs are only one layer in the pan!. Add a little salt to the water!.
Turn the burner on medium!. Keep watching them!.
Wait until the water boils!. You may have to turn the heat down a bit!. You want the water to stay boiling!.
Boil them for a full five minutes!.

Rinse in cold water, peel and you're done!.

I've put a link to Wiki with entirely different instructions!. I've been using my method for over 25 years and it works for me and is simple!.

If you plan on storing the eggs and using later, it's best to leave them in the shell!. They stay fresher longer that way!. You have to put them in the fridge, of course!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Be sure to put the eggs into the pot before you put water in it!. (or they will break)
Fill the pot up with water and boil the eggs for about 8-10 minutes!. Drain water and then put the eggs in the fridge for about 15 minutes or until they are cooled off!. Then peel the shell and your done!Www@FoodAQ@Com

put them in a pan of cold water on a high heat burner!. Make sure they are completely covered with water!. Bring the water to a boil then reduce the heat to medium and boil them for ten minutes!. Any longer they will be difficult to peal!. Any less than ten minutes and they will not be done in the center!. hope you like themWww@FoodAQ@Com

you get a pan,
fill it up with water(not all full, just like 75% full)
get however many eggs you want
put them in the pan
wait about 15-20 min untill the eggs start getting bubbly
let them cool down and remove the water from the pan
after you just peel he egg skin off Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've done it the way my mom taught me: cover eggs with water in a pan, bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover!. Let it set for 15 minutes!. Rinse in cold water and chill!.

They are not likely to crack this way, compared to putting them directly in boiling water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I just put how many I want in a pot, than fill it almost to the top, than boil them for about 15-30mins!., putting a pinch of salt or two in the water after the first 5!. My aunt and mom says thats too long to boil an egg, but it comes out perfect!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

SEEMS straight forward but there actually is a trick to the perfect hardboiled egg:

2) bring to boil
3) boil 10 min
4) drain and enjoyWww@FoodAQ@Com

bring water to a boil!. then put the eggs in unless you put them in the water already, and wait 10 minutes before turning the stove off!. wait till they cool down before you try to grab them!.
