Boiled eggs are a versatile and nutritious food. Here's a basic guide on how to make them:
### Hard-Boiled Eggs
1. **Place Eggs in a Pot**: Arrange eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
2. **Boil the Water**: Heat the pot over high heat until the water reaches a rolling boil.
3. **Cook the Eggs**:
- **For Hard-Boiled Eggs**: Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 9-12 minutes, depending on the size of the eggs and your desired level of doneness.
4. **Cool the Eggs**: Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes.
5. **Peel and Enjoy**: Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel off the shell under running water for ease.
### Soft-Boiled Eggs
1. **Place Eggs in a Pot**: As with hard-boiled eggs, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
2. **Boil the Water**: Heat over high heat until the water boils.
3. **Cook the Eggs**:
- **For Soft-Boiled Eggs**: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 4-6 minutes.
4. **Cool the Eggs**: Transfer to ice water for a couple of minutes to stop cooking.
5. **Serve**: Gently crack the top and scoop out the egg with a spoon.
### Tips
- **Peeling**: For easier peeling, use slightly older eggs (about a week old) and peel under running water.
- **Storage**: Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
