Hard-boiled eggs are a tasty and nutrient-rich food, perfect at any time of the day! Have you prepared several in advance and are wondering how to reheat them later? The most effective method is to pour boiling water over hard-boiled eggs and let them sit covered for 10 minutes. You can then eat them alone, but also use them to prepare deviled eggs or an egg salad.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Using Boiling Water
Step 1. Place the hard-boiled eggs in a large, heat-resistant bowl
Since you will be pouring boiling water over the eggs, it is imperative that the container can withstand the heat without cracking. The bowl should be large enough to allow you to completely cover the eggs with water.
This method is preferable for hard-boiled eggs that have not been shelled
Step 2. Boil the water
Boil the water using the microwave or stove. You need enough to completely cover the eggs in the bowl. Consider how many eggs you need to heat and the size of the bowl to determine how much water to boil.
Step 3. Pour the boiling water over the eggs and cover the bowl
Pour the boiling water over the eggs with extreme care. Make sure you cover them completely so they can heat up evenly. Cover the bowl with a plate or pot lid to prevent heat and steam from escaping.
Step 4. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes
Cover the bowl, heat the eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the plate or lid.
Step 5. Remove the eggs from the bowl and shell them
Remove the eggs from the bowl carefully, as the water will be boiling. Help yourself with a skimmer. Now, shell them and serve them.
Method 2 of 3: Try Other Methods
Step 1. Heat the steamed hard-boiled eggs
Fill a steamer basket with water (calculate about 3 cm deep) and heat it over high heat until it comes to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and place the eggs carefully in the basket. Cover it and let it heat up with the steam for 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat, carefully remove the eggs, shell them and serve them.
- The times may vary depending on the temperature the eggs have at the beginning of the procedure and the initial cooking degree.
- Experiment until you find an appropriate time interval for the doneness of the eggs and the temperature you prefer.
Step 2. Heat the eggs with hot water
Open the hot water tap and hold an egg under running water. If the water is particularly hot, wear clean rubber gloves during the procedure to avoid getting burned. Just hold the egg under the jet of hot water until it reaches the desired temperature.
Step 3. Cover the egg with water and heat it in the microwave
Place a hard-boiled egg (with the shell) in a microwave-safe dish and cover it with water. Only heat it up for one minute at a time to keep it from getting too hot or exploding. Continue heating it in one-minute intervals until it reaches the desired temperature.
Alternatively, the egg can be peeled and cut in half. At this point, place it in a dish suitable for microwaves and heat it in short intervals until it reaches the desired temperature. Calculate small intervals, like 10 seconds, at a time to keep it from exploding in the microwave
Method 3 of 3: Using Heated Eggs
Step 1. Conduct them
Shell the hard-boiled eggs and cut them in half. Sprinkle salt, celery salt, pepper, or your favorite seasoning mix on the surface of the eggs and serve them.
Step 2. Prepare the deviled eggs
Cut the eggs in half and move the yolks to a bowl with the help of a spoon. Crush the egg yolks, then add 60 ml of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of white vinegar, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of mustard, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
- Put everything in an airtight bag and cut it on one corner. Now, squeeze the mixture into the egg whites.
- Spread the eggs on a platter, sprinkle with smoked Spanish paprika and serve them.
Step 3. Make an egg salad
Place 6 shelled and chopped hard-boiled eggs in a large bowl. Add 60 ml of mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon (15 g) of chopped onion, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper and ½ cup (170 g) of finely chopped celery. Mix all the ingredients well and serve the salad on its own, or use it to fill a sandwich.
