Hard boiled eggs

Tools/Utensils

Pot

Overmitts or pot mitts

Water source with tap (sink or amywhere with water and drainage)

Metal spoon

Dustbin/trash bag

Ingredients

Egg

Method

Place egg in pot

Fill pot with water until it covers the egg (about an inch above the egg)

Place pot (uncovered on stove)

Fire up the stove

Wait till water boils

Cover the pot

Switch off the fire

Set your timer for 10mins

When timer rings

Grab the mitts, carry the pot to the sink

Turn on the tap to let water run, pour water from pot into sink

(depending on your sink, but I try not to suddenly pour hot water into it without running water to cool everything down)

Halfway through pouring, fill pot with running water then pour the warm water away. Repeat once more.

Then, fill pot with water again and let eggs sit in the cool water for about 5 minutes (set timer)

After 5 minutes, scoop the egg out using the metal spoon

Crack it with the spoon and peel it over the trash bag/dustbin

Done!
