Foolproof Hard-Boiled Eggs

Funny thing is that I called them hard-boiled but I don't actually boil the eggs to cook them.  If you want pretty little yellow yolks with no green edges on the yolks this is the way to do it.  

Foolproof Hard-Boiled Eggs

1 Dozen eggs (the fresher the eggs, the harder they are to peel)

Place eggs in a deep saucepan and cover with cold water by 1-1/2 inches.
 Bring to a boil that is really bubbling. Shut off heat. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
 Drain.
 Add ice and water to cool eggs. 
 Perfect!

    1. It's a no brainer, mostly. I have walked off waiting for it to and it boils a little longer than I wanted it to before I shut it off. LOL

  5. That's pretty much how I cook my hard boiled eggs as well. I haven't tried the ice trick, but I'll remember it when I need the eggs in a hurry. Thanks for linking up to Tapas Tuesday Social Happy Hour. I'm sure this post will be useful to many people :)

  6. That's how I do it, too! But I don't bother with ice water. I just fill the pan with cool water, drain and repeat a few times. My boys like the eggs a little warm still.

  7. Depends on what I am making. Egg salad or on salad needs chilled but if I put it in the egg gravy they can be warmer. So easy!
