Notes

My Top Tip: Have the ice bath ready. Fill the bowl while the eggs cook so you can transfer them as soon as the timer goes off.
Storage: Store hard boiled eggs in the fridge for up to one week. For unpeeled hard boiled eggs, store them in an airtight container, sealed or unsealed. For peeled hard boiled eggs, store them in a bowl of cold water, covered, and change the water daily.
Freezing: You can freeze the cooked egg yolks, but not the egg whites. Remove the cooked yolks and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They'll last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
