Ingredients
- 12 pieces large eggs
- 0 as needed to fill pot water
- 20 pieces ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a large saucepan or pot.
Step 2
Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.
Step 3
Place the pot on medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Step 4
Once the water reaches a boil, cover the pot with a lid, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for exactly 13 minutes.
Step 5
While the eggs are sitting, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and adding the ice cubes.
Step 6
After 13 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs from the hot water directly into the ice bath.
Step 7
Allow the eggs to cool in the ice bath for at least 10 minutes to ensure they are cool to the touch.
Step 8
Gently tap each egg on a countertop to crack the shell, then peel under running water for the easiest removal.
Step 9
Pat the eggs dry with a clean towel or paper towel and store them in the refrigerator if not eaten immediately.
