Foolproof Hard-Cooked Eggs
Although the term “hard-boiled” is more commonly known, “hard-cooked” is more accurate because the eggs should not be cooked at a boil.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
Directions
- Place eggs in a saucepan, and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring water to a simmer over high heat. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 12 minutes.
- Drain and rinse under cold running water. Unpeeled eggs can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
