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!

    Glad to know this works! I want to hardboil Easter Eggs with my class (http://www.mommyknows.com/silk-tie-dye-easter-eggs-tutorial/) but since we don’t have a stove I wasn’t sure what the best course of action would be. Glad I came across your blog!

    I found this blog on Google. I put five dozen eggs into a large kettle and tried cooking them on a glass top range. I could not get the water to boil. This of course is a new stove for us and we have a party of sixty that we are getting ready for. When I realized I was in trouble I started searching for answers. I used your recommended 3.5 hours and the eggs turned out better then perfect! I never knew that eggs could be slow cooked, with or without the crock pot. Thanks for the tip.

    This is such a simple idea. Sure glad that I came across your blog as I never could get hardboiled eggs right.

    Is cooking “hard-boiled” eggs in the oven a good method?…

    It definitely works, but it’s not my preferred method. It subjects the outside layers of the egg to very high temperatures, browning it and changing the flavor. Often, there’s a little brown spot where the egg contacts the metal surface it’s resting…

    I am writing the find out what size eggs you are using? And, if you have the time table for larger eggs? Thank you for your time..

    @Gary – I used large eggs. I don’t know if you’d need much more time for x-large – my guess is no but I haven’t tried it.

    Do you use cold, warm or hot water to cover the eggs?
