If you can never seem to make the perfect hard-boiled egg, you’re not alone! It seems like it should be as easy as, well, boiling water but in truth we’ve ruined more than a dozen eggs trying to figure it out. Thankfully, we turned to our culinary guru, Chef Pamela Salzman, to show us this fail-safe method for cooking the perfect hard-boiled egg, every time. Not only is her take on the perfect boiled egg super-easy, but also it really works—trust us we’ve tried it and give Pamela’s hard-boiled egg how-to a solid A+! Take your eggs and add them in a pot with enough water to cover them. Let the water come to a boil, then turn the water off and let them sit for exactly 10 minutes. Once ten minutes has elapsed, put the eggs under cold water, peel, and enjoy! Just remember to bookmark this video for the next time you ever want a quick, protein-rich snack or are in the mood for some deviled eggs or egg salad.
