Notes

How to make the perfect eggs
  • Fill a saucepot with enough cold water to cover eggs by at least an inch or two. Gently place the eggs in a single layer.
  • Over high heat, bring water to a full rolling boil.
  • Turn off the heat, cover the saucepot, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10 to 12 minutes for the perfect hardboiled eggs.
  • Drain the water and run cold water over the eggs to stop cooking further.
  • Tap the eggs gently on the counter and carefully peel the skin under running water.
