Making the perfect hard-boiled egg is a science. Follow these simple steps to have that perfect creamy yellow yolk.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Eggs
A saucepan
A stove
A timer

Step 1: Get eggs

Purchase eggs one week prior to cooking. Fresh eggs are harder to peel.

Tip: Don't use eggs that have visible cracks -- they could be spoiled.

Step 2: Remove eggs from refrigerator

Remove eggs from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Room temperature eggs are less likely to crack in hot water.

Step 3: Place eggs in saucepan

Place one layer of eggs in a saucepan. Laying eggs on top of each other will cook them unevenly.

Step 4: Add water

Add enough water to cover the eggs.

Step 5: Turn stove on high

Turn the heat on high. Place the lid on the pan and wait until the water is at a rapid boil.

Step 6: Remove from burner

Remove the pan from the burner and turn it off. Take the lid off the pan and return the pan to the burner.

Step 7: Simmer eggs

Simmer jumbo eggs in water for 18 minutes, large eggs for 15 minutes, and medium eggs for 12 minutes.

Step 8: Run cold water over eggs

Remove the pan from the stove top and place it in the sink. Run cold water over the eggs until they're cool to the touch.

@mob3xil3 If you've never been taught or shown how to boil eggs, and never eaten eggs in your life very much, this video is extremely useful. Hardly makes me an idiot that I wasn't taught how to boil an egg.

[RustingVagina]

I don't get the people in here calling others dumb for not knowing how to properly hard boil an egg, I mean why the fuck would you watch this if you already know how to? You must live a very fucking boring life...

[mob3xil3]
