Yes, home cooks, you read that right - slow cooker hard-boiled eggs are a thing! Using your cooktop isn't the only way to hard boil eggs!

Even I have to admit that this seems "extra". I love making everything and anything in my slow cooker. However, hard boiling eggs the traditional way is super easy and only takes about 15 minutes of cooking time. So, why would anyone want to drag out the process?

🥚WHY USE YOUR SLOW COOKER TO HARD BOIL EGGS

Hear me out on this one. There really are several great reasons to make crock pot hard boiled eggs.

🍳COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Place eggs in your slow cooker. I usually make a dozen eggs. Cover with enough cool water to ensure that all eggs are fully submerged. Place lid on top and cook on high for 2.5 - 3 hours. I know that sounds like a long time. But you don't have to monitor it the entire time like you would a boiling pot of water.

After cooking time, carefully drain hot water and fill slow cooker with cool water to stop the cooking process. To stop it faster, add ice cubes to a bowl of cold water to make an ice water bath. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from your slow cooker and place them in the bowl of ice water.

STORING EGGS

Once cooled, store hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can be stored with or without the shell. If you remove the shell, the eggs should be kept in an airtight container with a little water. This water should be changed every day or so.

Hard-boiled egg whites do not freeze well, but you can freeze the egg yolks if you choose.
