Hard Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

2-6 Large Eggs

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vinegar

Instructions

Place Eggs in pan with with cold water that covers them plus an extra inch of water. Add 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp vinegar.

Bring water to a rapid boil. Turn off heat and let eggs sit in hot water, on the burner, for about 14-16 minutes. [See notes about timing.]

Pour out hot water and fill with cold water to stop eggs from cooking further.

Notes

If you are making more eggs, make sure that there is enough room for them and enough water covering them so they will cook evenly.

Timing: These instructions should result in eggs with a lightly cooked yellow center when large eggs are boiled in a heavy bottomed pan at sea-level on a stove whose burner does not cool immediately after turning it off. There are many factors that affect the cooking of eggs, so you have to fine-tune to your own tastes and for your own situation.
