How to Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
- Place eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover the pan tightly with a lid.
- Let the eggs sit, covered, for exactly 17 minutes for perfect hard-boiled results (adjust timing if desired; see notes).
- After 17 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them sit in the ice bath for 15 minutes, or until completely cool.
- Gently tap the eggs all over on a hard surface to create cracks in the shell. Peel under cold running water for easiest peeling.
- Store peeled eggs in a container of fresh water in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
