Confused about just how long to cook them? Wonder no more! I am sharing my 5 easy steps to the perfect hard boiled eggs.\n\n![5 steps to the perfect hard boiled eggs](https:\/\/confessionsofamotherrunner-offload.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/17174233\/DesignCookies.jpg)\n\nTable of Contents\n\n- [5 Steps To The Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs](https:\/\/confessionsofamotherrunner.com\/make-perfect-hard-boiled-egg\/#5_Steps_To_The_Perfect_Hard_Boiled_Eggs)\n  - - [Cover your eggs with water & add 1-2 teaspoons of baking soda](https:\/\/confessionsofamotherrunner.com\/make-perfect-hard-boiled-egg\/#Cover_your_eggs_with_water_add_1-2_teaspoons_of_baking_soda)\n    - [Bring to a boil](https:\/\/confessionsofamotherrunner.com\/make-perfect-hard-boiled-egg\/#Bring_to_a_boil)\n    - [Cover and remove from heat for 13 minutes](https:\/\/confessionsofamotherrunner.com\/make-perfect-hard-boiled-egg\/#Cover_and_remove_from_heat_for_13_minutes)\n    - [Add ice to cover and chill](https:\/\/confessionsofamotherrunner.com\/make-perfect-hard-boiled-egg\/#Add_ice_to_cover_and_chill)\n    - [Peel and eat](https:\/\/confessionsofamotherrunner.com\/make-perfect-hard-boiled-egg\/#Peel_and_eat)\n- [What’s your favorite way to enjoy hard boiled eggs?

The *baking soda* has a chemical reaction which helps the shell come off easily and smoothly. Who knew right?\n\n#### Bring to a boil\n#### Cover and remove from heat for 13 minutes\nWith my thoroughly unscientific testing, I have found 13 minutes to be the perfect amount of time for extra large or jumbo eggs.\n\n#### Add ice to cover and chill\nIt is important to allow the eggs to cool so that they are easier to peel. They should feel cold so you may need to add ice twice if it all melts.\n\n#### Peel and eat\nTap eggs on counter to crack shell. Eggs will be easy to peel and smooth of shells. I like to peel them under running water.\n\nFollow the above steps and you will have the perfect hard boiled eggs! Eggs are one of my favorite protein sources and afternoon snacks. I frequently fill them with all kinds of flavored hummus.
