Hard boiled eggs are a versatile and yummy addition to many of your favorite dishes.
Everyone likes their eggs cooked to perfection... my favorite is a 4-minute egg. The egg white is cooked firm, while the yolk remains soft and fluffy.
No undercooked eggs for me!
I love to cook, and share some of my favorite family recipes. I like to create step-by-step instructions for those who are new to the kitchen, and the wonderful world of cooking!
With that in mind, let's take a look at how simple it is to boil an egg, then explore some ways to use them.

Begin With Fresh Eggs
Place Cold Eggs in Cold Water
Prevents cracking!
Place the Pot on the Stove, Then Turn on the Burner
Bringing the water slowly to a boil prevents eggs from cracking
Getting Hotter...
A Full Rolling Boil... Once the Water is Boiling, Set Your Timer For 4 Minutes
...also known as a laughing boil, because once it starts you can't stir it down!
Drain the Hot Water and Cover With Cold Water
Crack the Egg On the Side of Your Pot to Begin Peeling
Dipping the Eggs in the Cold Water As You Peel Will Simplify the Process
Beautiful!
Cut the Egg Into a Crown...
Cut off a small portion of the bottoms so your crown will sit without rolling
Time to Enjoy!

- This is perfect! I've been looking for a good tutorial on the perfect egg! Lensrolling to my Deviled Egg Potato Salad lens (good thing the eggs didn't have to look great for that one - my boiling technique needed work :-) )
