Boiled duck eggs

Step 1

To begin, choose a pot that will fit all your eggs in a single layer at the bottom of the pot without much empty room. Just cover your eggs with cool tap water.

Step 2

Turn heat to high and bring eggs to a rolling boil, uncovered, for 30 seconds to 1 full minute.(30 seconds will leave some larger eggs soft boiled in the center, 1 minute fully cooks all yolks)

Step 3

After boiling for 30-60 seconds, turn heat off and cover the pot. Set a timer for 10 minutes and allow eggs to 'steam' in the pot. * Note: i use the same method for chicken eggs but steam for just 8 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully drain the hot water off your eggs. You may choose to place the eggs in a bowl of ice water, or just rinse with cold tap water. The temp of the cooler water may make your eggs be easier to peel.

Step 5

Peel and eat! See peeling tips below.

Step 6

How to store: Keep your eggs in the fridge for several days. USDA recommends eating them within just a few days, but i have kept them in the fridge for over a week with no ill effect.
