Hard Boiling Eggs

Hard boiling eggs can be a difficult task. How long do I cook them for? How will I know when they are done? Well I tried 2 experiments today. I boiled the first batch of eggs for 6 minutes, starting the timer after it boils for the first time. I boiled the second batch of eggs for 12 minutes, again starting after the water boils for the first time.  The first batch of eggs were way underdone. The second batch was just right!

Eggs cooked for 6 minutes.

Eggs cooked for 12 minutes.

After you boil them can come even the more difficult task. My sister pinned this idea on Pinterest, adding 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the pot of boiled eggs. After the eggs were done, I poured out the hot water, added cold water, and then added 1 teaspoon of baking soda. I let them cool for a few minutes and then I peeled them. They came out pretty good!!
