I made a whole bunch of things on Easter last weekend. One of those things was half a dozen hard boiled eggs. And they turned out so close to perfect that I wanted to record how I did it for next time. (The one thing that was less than 100% was the shape. I didn't pay attention to how they were sitting and so they aren't the same.)
- I filled my smallest soup pot 2/3 of the way full of cold water, added a teaspoon or so of salt and a quick glug of white vinegar--I didn't measure.
- Then I placed my eggs in the water, put it on the stove and heated until it came to a good rolling boil.
- I covered the pot and turned it down to low for 1 minute, then turned it off and let it sit for 12 minutes.
- I removed the eggs with a slotted spoon and carefully put them in a bowl filled with ice water
- I left them in there for a while, then removed, dried, and refrigerated the eggs.
- They peeled really nicely, and were well-cooked but without any green ring around it.
I ate the first one (pictured above) with carrot sticks and cucumber slices!
