Easy Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs
Follow these steps to make peeling hard boiled eggs easier!
- Bring a pan of water to boil. Make sure there is enough water to cover the eggs once they are placed in the pan.
- Once the water is boiling, add in your eggs.
- Boil for 11 minutes.
- Once 11 minutes are up, drain the water. Fill the pan with cold water and dump out 3 times.
- Next, fill the pan of eggs with water the 4th time and dump in 12 regular sized ice cubes into the water.
- Once all the ice cubes are melted and the eggs have cooled, begin peeling the eggs.
Tips for Easy Peeling
- If you are using farm fresh eggs, I have found that trying to boil them the same day is rather difficult. I like to use at least day old eggs.
- Roll the hard boiled egg around on a plate to crack it a few times before trying to peel it.
