Hard Boiled Eggs

Best way to cook hard boiled eggs ever.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan that they just fit into. Vary the number of eggs and size of pan as needed.
  2. Fill pan with water to just cover eggs. Add salt and set pan on burner over medium high heat.
  3. When water starts to boil turn burner off and place lid tightly on pan. Leave pan on warm burner for 20 minutes.
  4. After 20 minutes run cold water in pan to help eggs cool. Once cool put in refrigerator.
  5. Note: recipe from "500 More Low Carb Recipes" by Dana Carpender.

The salt in the water really helps to peel the eggs later on!
thanks what a great suggestion... :)

Exactly the way I do mines, minus the salt, and I only leave it on the burner for 10 mins. They are always perfect (not rubbery)

this is the best way I only let mine set covered about 10 min. drain and bounce them eggs in the pan to crack them well cover with cold water.. let set just a few.. and drain again and fill with cold water.. and start peeling..the trick is to buy them eggs ahead and store in the back of the fridge the fresher they are the harder they are to peel..
