Servings: 12
Equipment
- 1 Pot medium to large
- 1 Large Bowl
Ingredients
- Eggs Raw
- Water
- Ice
Instructions
- Fill a pot with cold water. Gently place eggs into the water. Place the pot on the stove, and turn heat onto High.
- With a watchful eye, bring water to a boil.
- Once boiling, set a 6 Minute Timer, and reduce heat to Medium allowing for a gentle boil.
- Once the timer concludes, turn off the heat. The eggs shall remain in the pot for 3 minutes. Set a timer for accuracy.
- Once the timer expires, with a slotted spoon, carefully remove the eggs from the pot and place into a bowl of ice filled water. This ice bath will stop the cooking process. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- To peel the eggs: gently tap the broader end of the egg on the counter or a hard service, and gently roll the egg forward and backward to loosen the membrane that attaches the shell to the white of the egg. Peel from the broad end to expose the air pocket first. This will allow for easier peeling.
