Tips For Making Perfect Hard-boiled eggs
For the last several years, I only use an egg cooker for making hard-boiled eggs. I get perfect eggs, every single time, that are a cinch to peel. I have two egg cookers so that I can make a large batch, all at once, for our meal prep for the week. I’ll share the one that I have below. This egg cooker is definitely one of my favorite kitchen gadgets!
Most egg cookers come with a measuring cup that contains a small needle on the bottom of the cup. Before cooking, pierce the large end of the egg with the needle. As soon as the eggs are done, submerge them in an ice bath until they have completely cooled. Drain, pat dry and store the hard-boiled eggs in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
If you want to cook eggs the old-fashioned way on the stovetop, here are my tips for making perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs.

What To Serve with Egg Salad
For a low-carb option, you can serve the egg salad over mixed greens or on top of butter lettuce or stuffed in a romaine lettuce boat. For a sandwich option, serve on your favorite toasted bread with sliced tomatoes and crisp lettuce or leafy greens. My favorite go-to’s loaves of bread are sourdough and sprouted grain. For a snack option, you can serve it with rice cakes or whole-grain crackers, chopped veggies and/or fresh fruit.
