Hard-Boiled Eggs

I didn’t think eggs could get an easier than scrambled, but these hard-boiled eggs come pretty close! I’ve never had an egg crack or come out under- or over-cooked using this method. I find that peeling them under cool running water while still hot makes the shells come off just a little more easily, but it’s important to use fresher eggs. Now, most of us don’t get eggs straight from the chicken (though I highly recommend doing so if you can–keeping chickens can be incredibly rewarding). Instead, most of us get them from cartons at the grocery store and their sell-by date may be months after they were laid. So, how can you tell if an egg is fresh? Submerge it in water. If it floats or stands up on its narrower end, it’s old enough you should discard it. Eggs that sink and lie flat are fine.
