How do you cook eggs to make them hard boiled?
The boiling time for hard-boiled eggs is at least 5 minutes, on medium heat, with most people boiling a bit longer, for about 6 to 7 minutes. Once boiled, cool the eggs in cold water and peel immediately to avoid shells sticking. Serve or use the egg in the cooking recipe without any further delays.
Place raw eggs in saucepan. Add cool water so that water level is about 1 inch above the eggs. Place saucepan on stove over medium high heat. As soon as the water is boiling, remove pan from heat and put a lid on it. Let stand for 10 minutes. Immediately cool the eggs in ice water after cooking.
