How to Make Hard-Boiled Eggs
For easy-to-peel eggs, our Test Kitchen recommends steaming them.
Place 1 inch of water in a 4-quart Dutch oven or deep skillet.
Add a steamer basket.
Bring water to boiling over high heat.
Cover; do not reduce heat.
Steam for 16 minutes.
Don’t let your pan boil dry while the eggs are steaming.
If you run out of water, add more boiling water to the pan.
How to Make Soft-Boiled Eggs
Bring water to boiling.
Using a slotted spoon, gently lower eggs into water.
Reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil.
Boil 6 minutes for soft boiled or 8 minutes for a jammy but not set yolk.
Drain; place in ice water until cool enough to handle.
If using soft-boiled eggs, use a gentle hand when enclosing them in the meat mixture.
