Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

You know how some people admit that they can't cook, not even boil a pot of water. Well, if they can boil water, do you think they would know how to cook boiled eggs? It seems pretty simple. And it is.

For breakfast, my husband eats boiled eggs every day. He would let the eggs cooked in the boiling water forever... well, ten minutes top. Then he just let the eggs sit in the boiling water after he turned off the heat. He still does it this way.

So the white eggs tasted weird, rubbery. The yolks have that gray coloring around the edge. Not only they looked odd but they tasted like paste. It was no wonder my kids and I didn't like boiled eggs.

I've been reading and watching videos on the internet about tips and tricks on cooking just about anything. Several websites suggested different method of cooking the perfectly boiled eggs. One suggested putting the eggs in a muffin pan and bake for 30 minutes in 350F degree oven. Really... no kidding. I never tried this method just because it isn't cost effective to me.

So I tested out different method and fell in luv with this one. Let the water comes to a full boil, turn off the heat, then let the eggs sit in the boiling water for awhile until they are cooked. Fool-proof every time. Now the question is... what are you going to do with the perfect hard-boiled eggs?
