Cooking Instructions

  • Pull the eggs out of the refrigerator first to let them warm up slightly on the counter.
  • Fill the pot with water half way up and bring it to boil.
  • Once water is boiling, use a slotted spoon to add the eggs carefully to the bottom of the pot.
  • Lower the heat to slightly below medium and cover the pot with a lid.
  • Let the eggs cook for 10-12 minutes, adjusting for desired yolk consistency.
  • When time is up, pour off the hot water and run cold water over the eggs to shock them and cool them down.
  • Once cooled, start peeling the egg by cracking it on a board and rolling it to create finer cracks.
  • Grab the shell with the clear white membrane underneath and gently pull it off.

Notes

Egg size affects cooking time slightly. Warm eggs are easier to peel than cold ones.
