For those times when I'm hungry and need a healthy pick-me-up, I often reach for a hard boiled egg, which I try to keep stocked in the fridge at all times.If you're not the type who digs a straight hard boiled egg sprinkled with a little salt and pepper, having hard boiled eggs on hand is also super useful for making deviled eggs or egg salad (and egg salad sandwiches). I also love to add hard boiled eggs to my salads to make them a little heartier.Any eggs will work for this, but eggs that come from chickens raised on pasture are so much more flavorful than standard grocery store eggs. Lastly, you actually don't want to use the freshest eggs you can find because super fresh eggs don't peel easily. I try to "age" my eggs in the fridge for a week or so before I hard boil, which results in easy peeling eggs every time.

This technique was seen on cook's country. My husband loves a sunny side egg and now I have achieved perfect results every time with this method.

This method is so much easier than just frying the egg in butter. They come out so much better.

We've all been there. We've all seen it. Hard boiled eggs that end up with that ugly greyish-green ring around the yolk. This means the egg was over cooked, and it's easy to remedy. Follow this method and you will end up with perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs. Every. Single. Time.

Be sure to bring the eggs to room temperature. If the temperature of the eggs is too low, the eggs will crack. You can probably make up to 5 eggs at a time this way. Recipe by Okooko

I order the seasoned eggs separately at ramen noodle shops. It's 100 yen each, which is expensive! So I thought of making it at home.Be careful when peeling the eggs. They are very soft.You don't need tons of marinade when you use a ziploc bag and seal the air out. Recipe by Maki Kaoru

I've been making perfectly smooth and flawless boiled eggs like this for many years.By piercing the eggs with a pin, you are making a hole in the membrane of the egg. When an egg is boiled like this, hot water gets in between the membrane and the shell, and so the egg becomes easy to peel.If you put the eggs in cold water, the white may come running out of the hole, so put the eggs into boiling water. For as many as you like. Recipe by Ukiuki kitchen

I just let the eggs sit. Microwaving can make them explode, or cook too firmly. Different microwaves also produced different results and I always had to keep an eye on them. This recipe is great because you can make other dishes while the eggs are cooking.Don't cover with a lid once you've dropped the eggs in the water. If you cover the pot, the water temperature will not go down, and the eggs will be semi-cooked or cook through. Once you've put the eggs into the pot, don't touch it (the water also cools down if your stir)! It's okay to just leave them be. 1 to 3 eggs is the ideal amount for a normal sized pot.

I use the term perfect very loosely. I have made my eggs just like this for many years now. Very simple.

Homemade soft-set eggs are really best with this method. Put one on hot rice with a little soy sauce! Delicious!!A thick-sided pot is best for this dish! If you can let the eggs rest after taking them out of the pot for 4 minutes, they'll be perfect!My son and daughter both moved out recently, so it's just my husband and I...but you can make just 2 of these, and they'll come out fine. But recently I make 4 at a time and keep 2 in the refrigerator to use the next day. For 4 eggs. Recipe by Tankotankichi

My older sister taught me this recipe. With this method, my children's breakfast can be made easily And it saves money too!When it comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium! Absolutely do not remove the lid!! Those are probably the only tips I have. For as needed. Recipe by Reona mama
