Description

Peeling hard boiled eggs can be excruciating. This works every time!

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 12  Eggs

Preparation

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil with the salt. When the water boils, use a slotted spoon to lower each egg into the water. When you place the last egg in the pot, cover and boil for 17 minutes—set your timer! When the timer goes off, immediately pour off the water and place eggs in a large bowl filled with ice and water. Chill thoroughly before peeling. If your eggs have any gray/green around the yolk, try cooking them 1 minute less.

If you are cooking only a few eggs (say 4-6), you will probably want to cook them only 15 minutes.

These peel without taking chunks of egg white out of your eggs!
