Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

This is a pretty basic recipe, but it is a good one to have. Actually I guess technically it is not a recipe but a preparation. Whatever. If you love hard boiled eggs and want to know how to make them all on your very own, you've come to the right place!!

I like to make 4-6 at a time, cause that's how many fit in my preferred pot, but you could make more if you have a big ole pot. You'll need to put your eggs in the pot and fill it with cold water until there is about an inch of water over top of the eggs.

Put the uncovered pot on the stove to boil. Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from heat and cover it. Set the timer and leave the pot alone for 17 minutes.

Like dis!

Once 17 minutes is up, make up a bowl of ice water. Remove the eggs from the pot and submerge them in the ice water until they are cool to the touch. This process prevents the yolks from cooking more than they should. The icewater keeps the eggs nice and yellow, instead of greyish and gross looking.

That's it - enjoy!
