What could be simpler than boiling eggs in a pot of water? Perhaps this is the simplest dish in cooking.
But it turns out that you can do it even easier, without water and even without a saucepan. True, you will need an oven. In this case, nothing will crack and the protein will not leak.
How to Bake Hard Boiled Eggs in the Oven
1. First, you need to take the eggs out of the refrigerator so that they warm up to room temperature, otherwise the shell will certainly crack.
2. Next, you need to preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius. This temperature is considered ideal.
3. The eggs are simply placed on the oven rack, without any treatment. If you are worried about the shell cracking, you can place each egg separately in muffin tins.
How long to bake
At the specified temperature, the white will solidify in 20-24 minutes, and the yolk will remain in a medium state - not liquid, but not yet baked.
In 25-27 minutes the yolk will also become dense. It will remain dark golden in color, i.e. not crumbly yet.
In 28-30 minutes you will have a completely baked hard-boiled egg that can be crumbled into a salad or other dishes.
To make peeling easier, eggs are placed in ice water after baking.
This method, which does not claim to be practical, can help out in the event that the space on the gas stove is occupied, but you need to boil eggs and time is of the essence.
