Ingredients:
- Fresh eggs (as many as desired)
Instructions:
- Begin by selecting fresh eggs for boiling. Ensure that the eggs are not cracked or damaged.
- Place the eggs in a single layer in the bottom of a large pot. Make sure the eggs are not overcrowded.
- Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the eggs by at least an inch.
- Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Once the water reaches a full boil, immediately remove the pot from the heat and cover it with a tight-fitting lid.
- Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water, covered, for precisely 10 minutes. Set a timer to ensure accuracy.
- After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon or tongs. The ice water bath will stop the cooking process and help the eggs cool quickly.
- Let the eggs sit in the ice water for at least 5 minutes to ensure they are fully cooled.
- After the eggs have cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell all over.
- Peel the shells away from the eggs, starting at the wider end where the air pocket is located. The shells should come off easily, leaving behind perfectly peeled hard-boiled eggs.
- Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any remaining shell fragments.
- Once peeled, the hard-boiled eggs can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later use.
