Ingredients
- Extra-large eggs
Directions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover.
Bring the water to a boil and immediately turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit in the pan for 15 minutes.
Remove the eggs to a bowl and allow to rest for at least 2 minutes. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, crack the eggs on each side and then roll them back and forth with your hand, breaking up the shell. Remove and discard the shell.

This recipe yields perfect hard-boiled eggs. As always, Ina delivers. I'm not sure why other people are having mixed results.

I'm going to blame it on my reading comprehension. MAYBE! I did this the exact way, she describes it. It didn't turn out right, I couldn't even peel my eggs. I'm going back to boiling them the old fashioned way for 15 minutes. However, it doesn't say if you're supposed to be putting the lid on before or after?

Perfect hard boiled eggs, every time. However, you must cover the pan. Great tip.
