So, this is a perfect method. However, one should note that 12minutes at high altitude will leave you with partially uncooked whites. When hard boiling eggs using this method at high altitude, I found adjusting to 15-18 minutes will yield the desired results.

Wish I could send pics – followed to a T, and had to toss.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes. I had this hard boiled egg recipe before, but forgot the exact times. I-m looking forward to making the other recipes from today’s newsletter.

In reply to Maria. Hi Maria, I'm glad you were happy with the yolks! I find that peeling the eggs under running water can help with slipping off the shells.

In reply to Adam. I was having the same problem. Then my wife told me that "boil" means "ROLLING boil". I thought a simmer was a kind of boil, and therefore "as soon as the water boils" means as soon as it simmers. Turns out you have to heat the water until it is really boiling hard.

I use xl mostly and I find that upon a rolling boil, turning off the burner, leaving the covered pot on the burner for 9 minutes gives a great yolk with fully cooked whites.

Yolk turned out perfect but not quite a smooth peel, still pieces of the egg white would come off with peeling. Still looking for that perfect boiled egg recipe.

In reply to JD.

This was my experience as well. I should have listened to my instinct to remove from the burner sooner than I did because it’s a ceramic top that stays really hot.
I miss my Instapot that recently died! It made the most perfect hard boiled eggs in the easiest, most consistent way.
I love Love & Lemons though, some of then best, most well written, recipes.
