Martha Stewart's Hard Boiled Eggs 101

"I've been cooking hard boiled eggs like this for years. It really works. A TV chef recently suggested draining the water and shaking the boiled eggs in the pot in order to crack the shells, then submerge them in cold water to cool........makes for easier peeling."

  1. I won't make hard boiled eggs any other way. They come out perfect every time. You don't have to stand by the stove an watch so the eggs don;t boil over. Fantastic! I keep mine in the water for only 10 minutes.
     
  2. same as my recipe. BUT you have to SEE Kittencal's Technique for Perfect Easy-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs<br/>I LIKE HERS IT IS BETTER THAN MY, There are some great chefs here on Zaar, and she's one of the best!
     
  3. Since I switched to this method, I have had ZERO problems, all my eggs come out perfect.
     
  4. This was really good I cooked six eggs and had one crack on me during the cooking but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they peeled overall. A winner - turned them into recipe #226303 (Egg Salad). Thank you dojemi, made for I Recommend and recommended by nemokitty.
     
  5. This works perfectly every time!! I always used to overcook the buggers but this makes them delicious! Like Audrey M, I also only need to do mine for 10 minutes.
