Literally EVERYONE knows this simple hack for perfectly peeled hard-boiled eggs.

Ingredients

  • Large eggs
  • Water
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs:
    Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Turn off the heat:
    Once boiling, remove the pot from heat and cover it with a lid. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Prepare an ice bath:
    While the eggs are resting, fill a large bowl with ice and water.
  4. Shock the eggs:
    Transfer the eggs into the ice bath immediately after the resting period. Let them cool for at least 5-10 minutes.
  5. Crack & peel with ease:
    Gently tap the eggs all over and roll them on the counter to loosen the shell. The peel should slide right off!

💡 Hack tip: Add a teaspoon of baking soda or vinegar to the water before boiling to help separate the shell even easier!
