HARD BOILED EGGS (EASY TO PEEL)
I have had a few problems with trying to hard boil organic fresh chicken eggs. They were usually hard to peel and it would take about half of the egg white with the shell. I ran across this recipe from my sister, of all people...yes, I was skeptical at first...lol! :P Anyway, after you use this simple recipe your eggs will no longer be hard to peel. It works even on store bought/farm eggs. I just prefer fresh eggs because they taste so much better. I wish I could have chickens in the city! I never knew what I was missing till my daughters great grandmother got 8 chickens. They eat poms, strawberries, melons, tomatoes, bugs, worms... spoiled little hens. lol! They have the best eggs though.

EASY-PEEL HARD-"BOILED" EGGS
Hard-boiled is a misnomer, because the perfect hard-boiled egg is not boiled at all but rather steamed! This secret was leaked by a chef, and it is the best way I've found for easy peeling and no green yolks.

PERFECT EASY PEEL HARD BOILED EGGS
If you are frustrated by hard boiled eggs which are difficult to peel, try steaming them instead of boiling. No vinegar, no timing issues. Just steam for your normal boiling time, they come out perfect, even very fresh eggs which are the worst to peel. I found this recipe on Backyard Chickens and figured if anybody knew how to boil eggs they would.

Steps:
- Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water.
- Place your steamer in the saucepan.
- Poke a small hole in the large end of each egg. A pushpin or small screw works well but you can twist the end of a small knife into the shell carefully to make the hole. I've even forgotten about the hole, it still works.
- Put the saucepan on a medium-high heat, when the water comes to a boil, turn down to just above a simmer.
- Start timing from when you turn on the heat. I like 18 minutes.
- Cool in pan or under running water.

Steps:
- Add baking soda to a pot of cold water. Make sure the eggs are covered by 2 inches of water. When the water reaches a rolling boil, let them slow boil 12 minutes; remove from heat. Stop the cooking process by adding ice to to the water. Slightly shortening the recommended length of boiling time leaves the eggs done, but without drying the yolks. As soon as the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them.
- Tap the end of the egg, remove shell. Tap the other end of the egg and remove shell large enough for the egg to exit. Then you can literally blow the egg out of its shell into your hand. For sanitary reasons, I recommend just removing the shell with your fingers.
- It has been said that the key to peeling them easily is not to let the egg cool all the way, but this video says it's because of the PH level of the water from the baking soda.
Tips for Easy-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs:
- Start with cold eggs: Placing eggs directly from the refrigerator into boiling water helps prevent the shells from cracking.
- Use older eggs: As eggs age, the air pocket inside the egg expands, making them easier to peel.
- Add salt to the water: Salt helps the egg white to set more quickly and makes the shells easier to peel.
- Boil the eggs for the right amount of time: Overcooked eggs will be more difficult to peel.
- Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath: This will stop the cooking process and make the shells easier to peel.
- Peel the eggs under cold running water: This will help loosen the shells and make them easier to remove.
Conclusion:
With these tips, you can easily peel hard-boiled eggs every time. Perfect hard-boiled eggs are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes and recipes. They can be added to salads, sandwiches, and deviled eggs. They can also be used as a garnish or as a protein source in a meal.
