Equipment

  • 1 Stockpot

Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar

Instructions

  • Remove the eggs from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Add the water and vinegar to a stockpot and bring it to a gentle boil.
  • Use a pasta server to gently lower the eggs one at a time into the hot water.
  • Simmer/gently boil the eggs for 14 minutes. If you'd like a softer yolk, cook them for less time.
  • Rinse the cooked eggs in the same pot under cold water until they are cool. Add some ice to water to keep them cool as you peel them.
  • Peel the eggs immediately. Be sure and crack each end first, then gently crack the sides before removing the peel.
  • Store the peeled hard cooked eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
