How do I hardboil an egg?
gpt
It's very easy! Put the desired number of eggs in a small pot and add enough water so that they are covered. Add a little vinegar to the water to help make taking the shells off easier later. Put a lid on the pot. Then put the pot on a burner and set that burner to medium-high heat. When the water starts to boil, turn the burner off but leave the pot on the burner for ten minutes. Rinse the eggs in cool water to bring the temperature down gently. When they've cooled, you can peel the shells off.

That is easy! I thought it would be more complicated than that. Can I leave the eggs out of the fridge after I've cooked them?

For food safety, it is safer to store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Be sure to eat them within one week.
