Ways to cook EGGS
Each method has its advantages: Eggs boiled in a pot tend to peel easier; cooking in a pressure cooker frees up stove burners; and with no water needed, oven baking requires the least prep. Store cooked eggs in the shell for up to 5 days in the fridge. Try any of these techniques to make a flawless egg.
STEP 1: Bring water to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Using a slotted spoon or ladle, gently place eggs, in a single layer, into boiling water.
STEP 2: Boil for 11 to 12 minutes. Remove eggs with the slotted spoon or ladle; transfer to a bowl of ice water. Cool completely.
