What? I just realized I’ve been doing it all wrong. When I make hard boiled eggs I boil the egg in water for 10 minutes then let it sit in ice water before peeling. But, I usually have a hard time peeling my eggs. I thought this was just the way it is. Thankfully, I learned how to cook a perfect hard boiled egg. Take a look!
How to cook a perfect hard boiled egg
I just saw this video from Eggland’s Best, How to Perfectly Hard Cook an EB Egg. She shows you how to cook a perfect hard boiled egg. I didn’t realize fresh eggs were harder to boil. Interesting…
I just learned that older eggs are actually easier to peel than fresh eggs!
What do you think? Have you tried this method for easier egg peeling? Do you have another great way to make the perfect hard boiled egg?
It’s true that older eggs are easy to peel. I never ever use new eggs. Not even week old eggs. I let them sit in fridge at least 2 weeks before boiling. I’ve always done the bring cold water up to a rolling boil, then turn eye off, move saucepan. Let sit for 10 min then drain and fill pan up in sink with ice. Then fill w water. Once they are cool, I refridgerate them overnight. I roll them on the countertop with my palm, cracking them & peel under slowly grinning water in order to get teensy shells off. I usually boil a dozen at a time. I used to try with new eggs. I usually got maybe 5 eggs out of a dozen, maybe? They wouldn’t detach from the film inside egg. I would have only a yolk left. I don’t eat the yolks, only the whites. (Allergic)
