Ingredients




eggs

Preparation

1 Room temperature eggs are the most ideal for boiling. 2 Do not add salt to water.  The salt raises the boiling point of the water which leads to rubbery eggs. 3 The eggs must not be stacked but be in one layer only. 4 Gently place the eggs in a single layer in a pan or pot with enough cold water to cover eggs completely by about an inch. 5 As soon as the water reaches a rapid boil, remove pan from heat and cover egg pan tightly with a lid.
