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.

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.

Steps:
- Manufacturing Notes:
- Pricking: There is a bubble of air in the large end of the egg, which expands when the egg is heated and can crack the shell. To let that air escape, always prick the large end with an egg pricker or a pin, going in a good 1/4 inch.
- How much water? That depends on how many eggs you have. The water should cover the eggs by 1 inch, so use a tall pan, and I would hesitate, under home conditions, to do more than 2 dozen eggs at once.
- For 1 to 4 eggs...2 quarts of water For 12 eggs.......3 1/2 quarts of water For 24 eggs.......6 quarts of water
- Special Equipment Suggested: An egg pricker or drafting pin; a high rather than wide saucepan with cover; a bowl of sufficient size with ice cubes and water to cover eggs.
- The cooking: Lay the eggs in the pan and add the amount of cold water specified. Set over high heat and bring just to the boil; remove from heat, cover the pan, and let sit exactly 17 minutes.
- The 2-minute chill: When the time is up, transfer the eggs to the bowl of ice cubes and water. Chill for 2 minutes while bringing the cooking water to the boil again. The 2-minute chilling shrinks the body of the egg from the shell.
- The 10-second boil: Transfer the eggs (6 at a time only) to the boiling water, bring to the boil again, and boil for 10 seconds--which in turn expands the shell from the egg. Return the eggs to the ice water, cracking the shells gently in several places.
- Preventing that dark line around the yolk: Chilling the eggs promptly prevents that dark line from forming, and if you have time, leave the egg in the ice water (adding more ice if needed) for 15 to 20 minutes before peeling. Chilled eggs are easier to peel, too. Or peel them, as described in the next paragraph, and ice them at once.
- Peeling: Crack an egg all over by gently tapping it against the sink. Then, starting at the large end, and holding the egg either under a thin stream of cold water or in the bowl of ice water, start peeling. As soon as you have peeled it, return the egg to the ice water so that it will continue to chill.
- Storing the HB eggs: They will keep perfectly in the refrigerator, submerged in water in an uncovered container, for 2 to 3 days.

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.

Tips:
- Fresh eggs are best: Older eggs are more difficult to peel. For the easiest peeling experience, use eggs that are less than two weeks old.
- Use older eggs for longer cooking times: If you're planning to hard-boil eggs for more than 10 minutes, use older eggs. This will help prevent the yolks from becoming overcooked and dry.
- Add salt to the water: Adding salt to the water helps the eggs to peel more easily. Use about 1 teaspoon of salt for every quart of water.
- Start with cold water: Bringing the eggs to a boil in cold water helps to prevent the shells from cracking.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low: This will help to prevent the eggs from bouncing around in the pot and cracking.
- Cook the eggs for the right amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the eggs and how hard you want them to be. For medium-boiled eggs, cook for 6-7 minutes; for hard-boiled eggs, cook for 9-10 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice bath immediately after cooking: This will stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you'll be able to peel hard-boiled eggs like a pro. Just remember to use fresh eggs, start with cold water, bring the water to a boil then reduce heat to low, cook the eggs for the right amount of time, and transfer them to an ice bath immediately after cooking. With these tips, you'll be able to enjoy perfectly peeled hard-boiled eggs every time.
