Introduction

Sometimes it’s frustrating when the boiled eggs crack while they’re boiling. There is a way to prevent this. Here are a few steps to take to boil eggs without cracking them.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need

eggs

water

large saucepan

Steps

1

Step One

Fill a medium to large saucepan with cold tap water.

2

Step Two

Place the eggs carefully from the refrigerator to the saucepan of water and make sure there is enough water to cover the eggs. Do not stack the eggs on top of each other.

3

Step Three

Put the lid on the saucepan and let the eggs sit in the cold water in the saucepan on the counter for about 30 minutes. This allows the eggs and the water to adjust to room temperature at the same time, in preparation for the heat of the burner.

4

Step Four

Place the saucepan on the burner with the lid still on, and boil for ten minutes.

5

Step Five

Remove from heat and put the saucepan in the sink and then turn the cold tap on so that it pours into the saucepan and floods over the edges.

6

Step Six

Gently stir the water around the eggs around with your hands so that the warm water gets cold from the tap water.

7

Step Seven

Carefully place your one hand over all the eggs to stop them from moving and pour out the warm water. Add more cold tap water and mix with your hands. Do this a couple times.

8

Step Eight

Carefully remove the chilled boiled eggs from the saucepan one at a time and place them back into the egg carton for safe keeping, and then put back in the fridge until you are ready to use them.

Tips & Warnings

Keeping the lid on the saucepan while the eggs are boiling prevents the eggs from bouncing around.

This is the way to boil perfect eggs, great for decorating at Easter or just for storing in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them.

Don't use the microwave to boil the eggs. They don't boil, they explode.
