Hard-boiled Eggs

Ingredients

• Eggs
• Water

Directions

• Place eggs in saucepan; add enough cold water to come at least 1 inch above eggs (e.g. to first knuckle of finger).
• In open saucepan, heat rapidly to boiling; remove from heat.
• Cover and let stand 22 to 24 minutes.
• Immediately cool eggs in cold water to prevent further cooking.
• Tap egg to crackle shell. Roll egg between hands to loosen shell, then peel. Hold egg under running cold water to help ease off shell.
