Put your clean eggs into a pot and cover with water.
Bring to a full rolling boil and cover with lid and remove from heat.
Let sit for 15-20 minutes and then drain hot water from the pot. Rinse the eggs with cold tap water and then put in egg cartons to chill in the fridge to prepare later. Make sure you mark your egg containers if you also have raw eggs in the fridge or you might end up with a surprise when you try to crack an egg open to eat.
Now that you know how to make hard boiled eggs, you can make devilled eggs, egg salad sandwiches, or even color Easter Eggs.
If you are using FRESH eggs from your own chickens, you can add baking soda or vinegar to the water as it is said that it keeps the shell from sticking to the egg white when you peel them. I haven't tested it yet. But when I get enough eggs for another batch to try it, I'll report back. :-)
