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 Perfect Easy-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs:
- Use older eggs: As eggs age, their pH level rises, which makes the shells easier to peel. Try to use eggs that are at least a week old.
- Start with cold eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then carefully place the eggs in the boiling water. This helps to prevent the shells from cracking.
- Cook for the right amount of time: For medium-boiled eggs, cook for 9-10 minutes. For hard-boiled eggs, cook for 12-13 minutes.
- 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 water: This will help to loosen the shells and make them easier to remove.
- Use a spoon to gently loosen the shell: If you have trouble peeling the eggs, use a spoon to gently loosen the shell from the egg white.
Conclusion:
With these tips, you can easily boil eggs that are perfectly cooked and easy to peel. Hard-boiled eggs are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from salads to sandwiches to deviled eggs. So next time you need to boil eggs, be sure to follow these tips for perfect results!
