Slow Cooker Monday: Hard Boiled Eggs
Monday, 4 April 2011
My giveaway ends tomorrow! Go enter now if you haven’t had a chance yet!
This is one of those ridiculously simple Crock Pot recipes. It seems a little unnecessary, cause you can hard boil eggs on your stove top in no time, but it serves a few purposes. When it’s really hot and you want to avoid your stove at all costs, the little slow cooker on your counter doesn’t emit much heat at all. Also, if you don’t want to worry about watching the pot or if you consistently have problems with cracked eggs, you can put them in your slow cooker and just totally forget about them. No need for a bowl of ice or waiting for water to boil. It seems foolproof and just really easy.
Recipe:
Slow Cooker Hard Boiled Eggs
- Eggs (up to as many fit in your slow cooker in a single layer)
- Water
Place eggs in slow cooker. Fill with enough water to cover eggs and cook on low for 3 1/2 hours.

Interesting. I might just try this in the summer when it’s really hot. What’s even better, is I put my crockpot outside when it’s too hot. I have a plug in my back porch and I plug it in out there so it doesn’t heat my house at all. Perfect for cooking in the summer

You make me think I should replace my old broken slow cooker. Also, can you just leave them in all day on low? Or do they get overcooked?

Danica – I’m not sure about leaving them in there all day. I’ll have to try it and get back to you!

That is a really interesting idea! 3 1/2 hours seems like a really long time, but I’ll have to try this sometime.

This is awesome! I recently moved into a new home and there is no stove. My kitchen is rather odd shape so I have to special order a range. I’ve been using a crock pot for everything! Who knew you could boil eggs! Thank you for posting!
