[Recipe] Hard Boiled Eggs
Author: Burt Johnson
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
- Eggs -- as many as you want, but don't crowd -- room temperature
- Ice for water bath after steaming
- Rotate eggs 180 deg for half hour prior to cooking, to center the yolk
- Boil water in a vegetable steamer. I have one I used for crab that I bought at Costco that works perfectly.
- Insert eggs into steamer basket.
- Steam for 12 min at sea level, or 14 min here in the Cuenca Andes of Ecuador
- Drop into an ice bath for 15 min. Do not leave too much longer, or the eggs will get hard.
- Crush the shells all the way around, and peel under running water.
- 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!)
