1
Prepare the Pot
Fill a medium-sized pot with enough water to fully submerge the eggs. The water level should be about 1 inch above the eggs.
2
Boil the Water
Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
3
Add the Eggs
Once the water is boiling, gently lower the eggs into the pot using a slotted spoon to prevent them from cracking.
4
Boil the Eggs
Allow the eggs to boil for about 9-12 minutes depending on your desired doneness. For hard-boiled eggs, 12 minutes is recommended.
5
Cool the Eggs
After boiling, remove the eggs from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water for 5-10 minutes to stop the cooking process.
6
Peel the Eggs
Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell and peel them under running water for easier removal.
