- 12 large eggs
- 8 cups water
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
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.
