egg 12
water 10 cups
white distilled vinegar 1/2 cup

Directions

  1. Take the eggs out of the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
  2. Place the eggs in a large stock pot and cover with cold water and vinegar. At the same time fill a large bowl with water and ice cubes to create an ice bath.

  4. Once the water comes to a simmer cook for 6 minutes.
  5. Remove the cooked eggs and place in the ice bath for 10 minutes.
