Hard Boiled Eggs That Come Out Perfect
Ingredients
  • Eggs -- as many as you want, but don't crowd -- room temperature
  • Ice for water bath after steaming
Instructions
  1. Rotate eggs 180 deg for half hour prior to cooking, to center the yolk
  2. Boil water in a vegetable steamer. I have one I used for crab that I bought at Costco that works perfectly.
  3. Insert eggs into steamer basket.
  4. Steam for 12 min at sea level, or 14 min here in the Cuenca Andes of Ecuador
  5. Drop into an ice bath for 15 min. Do not leave too much longer, or the eggs will get hard.
  6. Crush the shells all the way around, and peel under running water.
  7. The results will be perfect eggs that look like they came from a cookbook (instead of the Chain Saw Massacre horror flick mine used to resemble!)
