The best way to hard-boil eggs

Moments ago, I was sitting in my office eating an especially delicious hard-boiled egg when it occurred to me that many of you may not be aware of the best way to hard-boil eggs! I can’t remember where I learned this method, but dollars to doughnuts it was either Mark Bittman or the Food Lab.

Step 1: Bring small pot of water to boil.

Step 2: Put eggs into water.

Step 3: Immediately turn off the heat and cover the pot.

Step 4: Let eggs sit for twelve minutes.

After twelve minutes I plunge them into an ice bath because I think (perhaps incorrectly) that it makes them easier to peel afterwards.

FACT: Eggs are my favorite food.
