Kitchen notes
If you want them to not be fully cooked in the centers and a bit soft you can do 13-14 minutes instead of 16 minutes. Make as many or as little as you would like. You can place an egg in a jar with a splash of water and lid. Shake and it will peel the cooked eggs very easily. Or you can buy this egg peeler that is handy to have. Store your eggs in the shell in the fridge until you are ready to eat. It will allow the eggs to store better. Use your eggs for egg salad, mixing in potato salad, making deviled eggs, and more. Or use the eggs as a snack. We love sprinkling hard boiled eggs with everything but the bagel seasoning.
