Hello and welcome to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your host Matt Taylor. Today, we are making Hard Boiled Eggs. These hard-boiled eggs are really really simple to make, it couldn’t be easier. Easter is just in a few days, so this is a perfect time to make hard boiled eggs. Let’s get started. For our tools and ingredients we have a pot, and we will add some water to this, we also will be adding ice to the end. We have a dozen eggs, and we have some salt. All right what we will do is we will take our eggs, and we will just put them in here, like so. And then we will fill this up with water until it is about an inch higher then the eggs. And then we will put it on the stovetop and turn it to medium high to high. Ok as you can see I have water added, like I said, about an inch above the eggs. Now I am going to add about a tsp of salt to the water, it doesn’t have to be exact. Then we will bring it to a boil. All right Now that our water is boiling, let’s go ahead and let it boil for about 2 minutes. All right once our two minutes is up, let’s go ahead and remove it from the heat, after we remove the eggs from the heat, lets let them sit in the hot water for 12 to 13 minutes. Ok now what we do is we take our eggs, and we go ahead and pour out the water here, about half way, what we want to do is we want to stop the cooking process. I am going to go ahead and take this water and turn it on, cold water, and then I am going to just get rid of some of this water, like that. Ok then I am going to go ahead and take my ice and go ahead and dump it in. And what this is going to do is it is going to really chill the water, and it is going to stop the cooking process on the eggs. And we will let it set here for about 10 to 15 minutes. Ok and then we will just take the eggs and put them back in the carton. And then what I normally do, I will just go ahead and close it up and I will write H B on there, with a sharpie. Ok we have our egg, and we will go ahead and tap it like that, so it cracks a little bit, roll it a little bit, not very hard. All right then we just come in here, and peel it off. The peel comes right off, really easy. And there we go, it looks really good. All right the hard boiled eggs are done, incredibly simple and easy to do, if I can do it, you can do it.

I have tried so many hard boiled egg recipees but all the ones I tried were very difficult to peel. After trying your recipee the shell came right off! I will follow your directions from now on!! Thanks for posting this Matt:)

The trick with the saltwater worked brilliantly!
I was boiling 6 eggs, one of them exploded, and the egg white solidified instantly. Thanks so much!

cute idea Matt to make a video about this!

[ginadavis]

Matt, why did you add salt in the water? thanks

[leec]

This is a great idea but whenever I make hard boiled eggs then peal them I always remove most of the egg as well as the shell. I've tried different ways but always fail.
