Hard boiled eggs!<\/strong> Yes, there is a right way to boil them!!!<\/p>\n

1. Do NOT use fresh eggs!!!<\/strong> They are difficult to peel. It’s best to use eggs that are near their expiration date.<\/p>\n

2. To help center the yolks in the egg, be sure to store your eggs on their sides<\/strong> in the fridge for approximately 12 hours. Easy enough to do. Just seal your egg crate up with tape and turn it on its side.<\/p>\n

3. Take eggs out of the fridge (no longer on their side) and bring to room temperature<\/strong>. They must be room temperature and if you take them straight from the fridge, you can run warm water over them for a minute or two.<\/p>\n

4. Place eggs in a single layer<\/strong> in a pan with enough cold water to cover eggs. Bring water to boil, remove from heat, cover tightly with a lid, and leave eggs for 17 minutes.\u00a0 (Not 16, not 18!!!)<\/p>\n

5. Place eggs under running cold water to cool quickly<\/strong>. This is also known as ‘coddling.’ This will help prevent discoloration of the yolk and will also help to make the peeling process run more smoothly!<\/p>\n

6. If you don’t consume your hard boiled eggs within a few hours, <\/strong>do refrigerate. And note that hard boiled eggs in the shell<\/em> can be refrigerated up to one week only!<\/p>\n

Enjoy!!!<\/p>\n
