Boiled Eggs

Timing

Instructions

1. Add 1 tray of ice cubes to a large bowl and fill with cold water.

2. Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Carefully lower eggs into pot and continue to boil for 30 seconds. Cover tightly, reduce heat to low (water should maintain a bare simmer), and continue cooking to your desired doneness according to the timing table above.

3. Immediately place eggs in bowl of ice water and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before peeling under cool running water.

Notes

• See note on high-altitude cooking.

Testing Notes

• Verify timing chart
• Lower eggs in a small strainer to prevent cracking - keeps the eggs from bouncing on the bottom of the pot.
