We Tried 7 Ways to Hard-Boil Eggs and Found a Clear Winner - Kitchn
Hard-boiled eggs are one of those kitchen staples I always have in the fridge. They’re great for out-of-hand snacking, they instantly add a protein boost to salads, they form the basis of a super-speedy breakfast, and — with just a little extra effort — they become deviled eggs, the perfect cocktail snack.
If you go online to find the best way to hard-boil eggs, you’ll find umpteen different methods, all purporting to be the best (many of which don’t even involve boiling). Some claim to produce tender whites and moist yolks. Others allege that they make the eggs easier to peel. To see which methods work and which ones don’t, I set about testing seven of the most well-known techniques from popular websites against each other — tasting and peeling them side by side.
