KITTENCAL'S TECHNIQUE FOR PERFECT EASY-PEEL HARD-BOILED EGGS



Kittencal's Technique for Perfect Easy-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs image

The one and only method I use for perfect hard-boiled eggs and the only one you will use also, this is a no-fail method your eggs will come out perfectly cooked!--- don't omit the vinegar it makes peeling the eggs easier and your eggs will be bright yellow and the whites a pure white! -- it doesn't matter what amount of water or eggs that you use just make certain that you add in about 2 teaspoons of vinegar, I don't even measure I just pour the vinegar into the water from the bottle the exact 2 teaspoons does not really matter, of course use as many eggs as you wish and the exact amount of ice is not necessary you can use more, also try to use eggs that are at least 2 weeks old fresh eggs are somewhat harder to peel.

PERFECT EASY PEEL HARD BOILED EGGS



Perfect Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 eggs (or more)
water

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.

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
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.
