Do you want to learn how to make the perfect boiled eggs? It’s super easy and fun! Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll have delicious eggs in no time.
First, take your eggs and place them in a saucepan. Make sure they are in a single layer, not stacked on top of each other. Then, fill the saucepan with cold water. The water should cover the eggs by about an inch. This helps them cook evenly.
Put the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to high. Wait until the water starts to boil. You’ll see bubbles coming up, and that’s when you know it’s boiling. Once it boils, cover the saucepan with a lid and turn off the heat. Now, let the eggs sit in the hot water.
Decide how you like your eggs:
The longer they sit, the firmer they will be!
After the eggs have cooked, it’s time to cool them down quickly. Carefully take the eggs out of the hot water and put them in a bowl of ice water. This stops them from cooking more and makes them easier to peel later.
Here are some extra tips to make your boiled eggs even better:
