  • Eggs

Instructions
 

  • Place desired amount of eggs in a pot and fill with COLD water. Fill with enough water to cover the eggs by about 1/2 inch. Make sure there is a little “room” for the eggs to breath – in other words…don’t stuff the pot FULL with eggs…make sure they can “move” around a little. I find that a medium size pot will hold about 8 eggs.
  • Place the pot on the stove and turn the burner on HIGH and wait for the eggs to boil.
  • Once the eggs start to boil, let them boil for about 30 seconds.
  • Place on a tight fitting lid and remove the eggs from the heat.
  • Let them sit for 14 minutes exactly.
  • Remove the lid and run the eggs under COLD water for about a minute.
  • When you’re ready to peel them – find the “bottom” of the egg and gently tap the end, peeling away the shell while running the egg under a cold stream of water. The cold running water will help “lift” the shell from the egg.
  • Use as desired.
