What is the besst way to hard boil eggs?

Here's the best way to hard boil eggs, ensuring perfectly cooked yolks and easy peeling:

Ingredients:

* Eggs

* Cold water

Instructions:

1. Start with Cold Water: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. The water should be about 1 inch above the eggs.

2. Bring to a Boil: Bring the pot to a rolling boil over high heat.

3. Reduce Heat and Simmer: Once boiling, immediately reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes for medium-boiled eggs. For harder yolks, simmer for 15 minutes.

4. Ice Bath: Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling much easier.

5. Peel and Enjoy: Once the eggs are cool, gently tap the ends and peel under cold running water.

Tips for Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs:

* Use Older Eggs: Older eggs peel more easily. The air pocket inside grows with age, helping the shell release.

* Add a Pinch of Salt: Adding a teaspoon of salt to the water helps prevent cracking during the boiling process.

* Don't Overcook: Overcooked eggs develop a greenish ring around the yolk, which is perfectly safe to eat but not very appealing.

Enjoy your perfectly hard-boiled eggs!
