How long do you boil eggs for hard boiled eggs?

Answer 1

I've been doing it this way for years....it really is the only way

6 fresh eggs
Pinch of salt
4 c. COLD water

Place the eggs in a heavy saucepan. Cover with cold water and add the pinch of salt. Bring the water to boiling and lower heat immediately. (If eggs are hard-cooked in boiling water, they are likely to be tough and leathery.) Simmer for 1 or 2 minutes, and remove from heat. Leave covered for 20 minutes.
Carefully lift each egg and rap with a heavy spoon or meat tenderizer to crack the shell. Return to the hot water for 1 minute. Drain the hot water and cover the eggs with cold water. Let stand for 1 minute and repeat. Cool eggs completely before peeling. You'll find they peel easier and more cleanly than every before!

Answer 2

Place raw eggs in a pan with enough water to cover, cover pan. Bring to a boil. When water begins to boil, remove from heat (still covered) and let rest for 15 minutes.

Answer 3

I just put them in a pan with cold water, crank the heat up to high, and when it boils, I time it for 15 minutes on full boil.

Answer 4
