Check this out! You can make perfect hard boiled eggs in the oven! Who knew!?! No water required! All you need is your eggs, a muffin pan and a 325 degree oven.I just saw a Food Network video on how to make these. You simply place your eggs in the muffin pan, put the pan in a 325 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes. When the cooking is done, you remove them from the oven and put your eggs in a bowl of ice water. Shocking the eggs in the ice water will cool them and make them easier to peel.
Now, I love my peeps at the Food Network, but I wouldn’t be a responsible, respectable food blogger if I didn’t try this myself. I HAD to know that it actually worked. Plus, I love me a good science experiment!
I didn’t have an entire dozen eggs on hand (OK, I only had 4!), so I only cooked 2. I didn’t want my daughter to be in a bad mood if she couldn’t make her fried egg sandwich on her spring break morning!
So how did it work, you ask? Perfectly! As you can see from the picture below, the egg yolk is perfectly cooked, no green ring or undercooked center! Voila! Now you have eggs for eating, egg salad, or deviled eggs. Easy peasy!!!

It worked perfectly and would be great if you needed to cook several eggs to make deviled eggs or something.

To master that too.

I think I’m just wired wrong when it comes to being able to boil eggs lol I’ve tried many times, but I’d love to know the method that works best for you.

So for boiling eggs, this is the best process I have found…
– Place eggs in a sauce pan of cool tap water
– Bring uncovered pot to a rapid boil over high heat. Watch for the boil! If they boil too long the eggs will break.
– Turn temperature down to medium-low, so water is just below simmering and cover
– Cook for 20 minutes
– Cool eggs in iced water and let stand at least 2 minutes.
If you don’t cool your eggs enough, the egg white will stick to the shell and they won’t peel nicely.
Hope this works for you! Or you can use the baking method!

I’ve done this before and I find it easier than boiling it. Boiling is so finicky and half the time I undercook or overcook the eggs and have a hell of a time trying to peel them. The oven version is basically fool proof!

I like this idea and will have to try doing it. I really like hard boiled eggs, not just for deviled eggs but also for egg salad sandwiches!
I had bought one of those hard boiled egg cookers and I was all MEH using it. Making omelets in it too was weird.
Let’s see how this method works out for me! Thanks for posting.

Since posting this, I saw something on making hard boiled eggs in the Ninja Foodi. I haven’t tried this yet. Supposedly they peel really nicely.
