How To Boil An Egg

For many people, boiling eggs can be difficult to get right. Either they boil too long or not long enough. Here is a basic step-by-step process that will deliver a Perfectly boiled egg EVERY TIME! It's easier than you think!

How To Boil An Egg or Multiple Eggs

Whether you are boiling 1 egg or 12, the steps are Exactly the same!


What You will Need:

1. A Large Pot
2. A Lid that fits the Large Pot
3. Water
4. Eggs (as many that will comfortably fit into the pot)

Let's Get Boiling!

• Fill a nice big pot (if you are using more than 2 or 3 eggs, otherwise, you can use a smaller pot. I always use a large sauce pot) with water
• Gently Place each egg into the pot of water (Yes, Before you even turn the stove burner on)
• Place the pot on a burner and set the burner to High (Do Not Leave the Stove While the Pot is Heating)
• Allow the water to get to a nice Rolling Boil (when the water is in FULL boiling action, the bubbles will literally look like their rolling in the water)
• As soon as the water gets to that Rolling Boil, Remove the pot from the hot burner and place it on a pot holder on the counter or on a cold burner that isn't being used—Turn Off the Burner You Were Using
• Immediately cover the pot with a lid
• Set a timer for 16 minutes and leave  
• After 16 minutes, carefully strain the water from the pot
• When the pot is empty of all of the hot water (leaving the eggs in the pot), fill the pot with Cold water
• Let the eggs sit in the cold water for a few minutes
• They are now ready to be eaten or placed in a bowl and put in the refrigerator!
