Here's what you need:

Use a ziplock and star tip for fancier eggs or scoop with a spoon.  Didn't get pictures of this for some reason, sorry about that!

The Best Way to Hard Boil Eggs


Keep it simple.

  1. Start with a large saucepan.
  2.  Fill with cold water, enough so there's at least an inch above the eggs.
  3. Add eggs, not too many, make sure there's room so they don't bump into each other too much.
  4. Bring just to a boil, not a rolling boil, just a few bubbles is all.
  5. Turn off the burner, place a lid on the pan.
  6. Set a timer for 20 minutes.
  7. After 20 minutes is up, add the eggs a bowl filled with cold water (this stops the cooking process and I believe makes them easier to peel).
If you don't peel right away, put in the fridge, before peeling, run the egg under cold water, I think the cold water helps you peel the egg easier once again.
