Try this never-fail method of cooking hard-boiled eggs for a dozen eggs that are perfect for snacking, using in salads, or making deviled eggs.
I've made a lot of hard-boiled eggs, using a variety of different methods until I found some faves. I thought I'd try this one since it was "never-fail". While this recipe wasn't a fail, I had some doubts on the cook time begin too long. I erred on the side of caution and did the minimum stated time of 13 mins. They came out a little overdone for my hard-boiled tastes, where the yolk starts getting crumbly. Next time I'd probably take them out at 10-11 mins. These were still tasty, but I prefer to either just use my Instant Pot using the 5-5-5 method, or bringing them to a boil in a pot, covering and then turning the heat off to let them "cook" in the hot water for 11-12 minutes. TIP: for easier peeling, when draining the hot water, lightly shake the eggs around in the pot to lightly crack them. Then fill pot with cold water and let sit.
