🥚 Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
Ingredients
- Eggs
- Water
Stovetop Method (Most Popular)
- Place eggs in a saucepan in a single layer.
- Add cold water to cover eggs by about 1 inch.
- Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, turn off heat, cover the pan, and let sit:
- 10–12 minutes for fully hard-boiled
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking.
- Tap, roll, and peel.
Easy-Peel Tips
- Use older eggs (very fresh eggs are harder to peel)
- Crack the bottom (wide end) first
- Peel under running water
- Add a little baking soda or vinegar to boiling water (optional)
Storage
- Keep unpeeled eggs in the fridge up to 7 days
- Peeled eggs should be eaten within 3–4 days
Optional Methods

- Air fryer: 270°F for 15 minutes (then ice bath)
