hard boiled eggs?

Question

I forget somewhat how to cook hard boiled eggs...i want to make them for my 1 yr old son. a saucepan of boiling water, put warm tap water on the egg then add the egg in the saucepan of water then turn down heat to low and cook for 10 minutes then mash it with butter...is this correct?

Answer 1

I put mine in a pot of cool water, bring them to a boil, remove from heat with cover on. Let stand 10 minutes, remove from heat, immerse egg in cold water, let sit a few more minutes, then drain off water, remove shell, mash if you like with butter, miracle whip is good with a dash of salt and pepper for a sandwich

Answer 2

Everyone else has it going. Just remember to fill it with cool tap water. If the water is too warm when you put the eggs in, they have a good chance of cracking (and that is ALWAYS annoying!).

Answer 3

Here's How:
Place eggs in single layer in saucepan.
Cover with at least one inch of water over tops of shells.
Cover pot with lid and bring to a boil.
As soon as it begins to boil, remove from heat and let stand.
Large soft-cooked eggs: let stand in hot water 1 to 4 minutes, depending on your tastes.
Large hard-cooked eggs: let stand in hot water 15 to 17 minutes.
When cooked to desired level, drain off hot water.
Immediately cover with cold water and add a few ice cubes.
Soft-cooked eggs: let stand in cold water until cool enough to handle. Serve.
Hard-cooked eggs: let stand in cold water until completely cooled. Use as needed.
Tips:
Never boil eggs. It makes them rubbery.
Use older eggs. Fresh ones won't peel properly.
To keep eggs from cracking while cooking, pierce large end with a needle, which will also make them easier to peel.
