Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place (2 weeks or older) eggs in a saucepan and then cover them with cold water by 1inch. Stir in vinegar.

  2. 2

    Bring water to a boil over high heat. As soon as it comes to a full rolling boil, remove pan from heat and cover with a lid.

  3. 3

    Let stand off the heat for 3-4 minutes (soft-boiled eggs), 5-7 minutes (medium-boiled eggs), or for 10-12minutes (hard-boiled eggs). If you are a stickler for avoiding overcooking, then cook eggs for the minimum time stated within those ranges.

  4. 4

    Drain and transfer eggs to a large bowl with iced cold water and let them sit for up to 1 minute. Roll eggs on the counter (or shake them very well in a closed jar) to crack and then peel under running water.
