Perfectly Peeled Hard-Boiled Eggs Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Eggs

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs.  
  2. Bring to a Boil: Bring the pot to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes.
  4. Ice Bath: Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely.  
  5. Peel: Gently tap the shells of the cooled eggs and peel them under running water.  

Tips for Perfect Peeling:

  • Use Older Eggs: Older eggs peel more easily than fresh ones.  
  • Add a Pinch of Baking Soda: Adding a pinch of baking soda to the water can help the shells peel more smoothly.  
  • Start Peeling from the Wide End: Begin peeling from the wider end of the egg to loosen the shell.  

Enjoy your perfectly peeled hard-boiled eggs!
