What kind of pot should I use to make hard cooked eggs?
Dr. Gourmet Says...
Any kind of pan is fine. I am careful about the size of the pot, however. Generally speaking I try not to crowd the pot so that there is much more than a single layer of eggs. For instance, if I am cooking two or three eggs I will use a small sauce pan and they are on the same layer.
However, when cooking a dozen eggs I will use a larger pot so that most of the eggs fit on a single layer and maybe there are 3 or four that are stacked on top. This allows for more even heating and that the eggs will cook consistently.
Thanks for writing.
