Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs (or as few as 3)
  • 200 ml water
  • A 1.5-liter pot with a lid

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Gently wash the eggs under cold water.

  2. Arrange in Pot: Place the eggs in the pot, making sure they are in a single layer.

  3. Add Water: Pour 200 ml of water into the pot, ensuring the eggs are fully submerged.

  4. Boil: Heat the pot over high heat until the water reaches a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue simmering for 3 minutes.

  5. Turn Off the Heat: After 3 minutes of simmering, turn off the heat. Do not remove the lid; let the eggs sit in the pot for an additional 9 minutes.

  6. Serve: After the 9 minutes have elapsed, carefully remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel and enjoy!

Note: During the boiling and resting time, keep the pot covered at all times to ensure perfect results. This method is time-efficient and gas-saving, providing perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs every time.
