Momma’s tricks and tips on how to hard boil perfect eggs

TIP #1

COVER EGGS WITH COLD WATER and bring up to a boil. This way the eggs will come up to temperature with the water instead of being shocked when dropped into boiling water.

TIP #2

ADD SALT TO YOUR WATER ( just a pinch) to prevent from cracking and easy peeling later

Tip #3

DO NOT CROWD YOUR EGGS …LOL . That means cook them in one layer. That one I don’t really understand but I always listen to my Momma . MAMMA KNOWS BEST ❤️ Tip #4

COOK YOUR EGGS AT MEDIUM HEAT uncovered for 5 min

Tip #5

LET THEM STAND in the water for 5 min before you transfer them into ICED WATER TO COOL OFF …. Shock the eggs! ?

You can read more about her method HERE Did you know you can cook your eggs in your Instant Pot and make them perfect too? So if you know me for some time you know that I love to experiment! I have made so many recipes in this pot but never eggs. Have you tried Instant Pot yet ? You can cook sooo many things in this cool gadget in half a time ! You can even bake in it ! There are so many types of Instant Pot on the market. I found 8 Quart Instant Pot for my family of 4 work the best size. It is the second one in the picture below. If you don’t have one you should really consider ..life is much easier.
