Hard-Cook Eggs in Your Oven. For Real!
Am I the only person that can't boil eggs properly? I always have some issue and end up cracking eggs or they kind of explode in the pot. So frustrating! I've been meaning to try out hard cooked eggs in the slow cooker too, that seemed more up my alley. Well, I just learned about another way to cook em too and that is in the oven! I wish that I'd heard of this years ago, I could have spared myself a lot of frustration... and more importantly self esteem 😉

Interesting I thought if you cook an egg in the oven it would blow up!
Thanks for the info - I'm thinking if you have the oven on for something else, you could so easily put the eggs in to hard 'bake' at the same time. Couple years ago I shifted to the cover eggs in cold water, bring them to a boil and then turn off the heat. It's a very forgiving method and you can let them sit for 10 minutes or 2 hours after you turn the heat off. I have consistently found they peel very easily if the eggs are still warm. If I let them cool, the whites stick to the shells more.
That is awesome! I'm going to have to try this! So much easier! Thanks!
I feel your pain, I totally have that problem too! These peel pretty darn well! I think you will like it! Try it and let me know how you make out! 😉
But how do they PEEL??? I'm driving myself mad over here because my whites keep sticking to the shell. >:( I will def have to try this! Thanks for sharing!
I need to try this stat! I have heard others doing this successfully, too. I hate boiling them, so this seems like a great way to do it!
I really like it! I was really BAD at boiling them, this is so much better for me. Love it! 😉
We just tried this. And all the eggs came out covered in brown spots, and 3 cracked! :/ Kinda bummed, I was hoping this would be easier, but I think I'll stick to just boiling them!
Hi Chelle,
Oh no, that is so terrible. I wonder why that happened.. mine came out really perfect and I made 3 batches so far. ;( Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Maybe has something to do with the pan used?
That surprises me, too. I hear this is the new way to cook eggs! Maybe you really need to watch the time??
Will have to tell my wife about this. She hates boiling eggs and they are difficult to peel.
I've been cooking forever it seems but I never heard os hard cooked eggs by this oven method! I intend to try, though!
great idea!! thanks 🙂
I had no idea you could do this in the oven! Trying it this year for sure! Thanks!
Hi Carrie, surprisingly they come out almost exactly like when boiled. Hope you like how yours come out! Let me know 😉
GREAT idea But wonder if the taste is any different or if they are dry? This is a definite must try idea. Thank you
Never heard of such a thing. Makes sense when I think about it. Great tip to pin!
I had never heard of baking the eggs - I may try it to see if it works for me
sounds great, can't wait to try it
what a good idea, can't wait to try it
I might try this with eggs on one rack and bacon on the other! Less mess on my stovetop that way.
I saw that on pinterest. Thanks for trying it and letting us know how it went!
My eggs are always exploding in the pot. Great tip! I'd love for you to link it up to my Tutorial Tuesday post. here --->

I usually boil my eggs , but this sounds worth a definite try!!
I’m going to try this soon...
This sounds so easy!
I'll believe this when I try it for myself! LOL...I am terrible at boiling eggs...always seem to mess it up somehow. Thanks for this tip...very interesting!
Seems like a long time, 30 minutes to cook hard boiled eggs. I'm meh about it.. I have discovered that if you use older eggs, more than a week old that they rarely crack and that they peel ever so much more eaisly than newer eggs.
I agree, it's a little long.. but I like to set and forget using my timer. So I don't mind.
Thanks for that tip, that is very interesting!
I never knew you could do them in the oven! This is great, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your tip. I had the same problem about eggs exploding in the pot, but what I actually do now is keep the raw eggs in a bowl of hot water for 5 mins and then cook them in the pot.
That is an interesting idea, thanks for sharing! I will have to try that some time!
DUDE! This is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing, I never imagined you could bake eggs. I am always under or overcooking my boiled eggs so I am definitely giving this a try!
LOL! Right? I had no clue either! Was stoked that it worked perfectly~!
Im going to give this a try, I can never get them quite right on the stovetop.
Great new option! Will have to try this, thanks
Awesome! That's so neat to try.
Thats awesome, I never ever would have thought of that. Thanks for the great tip/trick!!!
Best way to boil eggs is put them in the pot, put cold water over them, then turn stove on high. Let come to a rapid boil, turn stove off place a plate on the pot and wait for 12 minutes. Then run cold water over and peel. Easy, and not a pain in the butt to get the shell off. 🙂
I can not WAIT to try this!!! We do boiled eggs in tuna salad pretty often in my house and boiling eggs is definitely not a science I have perfected, lol. Thank you 🙂
I'm going to try this for Easter eggs and see if it works Thanks
