Directions

  1. Fill a stainless steel steamer pot with about 1 inch water and bring to a boil.

  2. Add eggs to the steamer tray, carefully lower into the pot, cover, and reduce heat. Cook for 10 minutes for medium yolks or 15 minutes for fully-cooked yolks.

  3. Remove the steamer tray and rattle eggs around to crack the shells. Transfer eggs to a cold water bath and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from water bath.

  4. Gently crack each egg, roll on a cutting board, then peel the shell off from the fat end towards the point.

Recipe Yield

Recipe Note

Hard-boiled is a misnomer, because the perfect hard-boiled egg is not boiled at all but rather steamed! This secret was leaked by a chef, and it is the best way I've found for easy peeling and no green yolks.
