🛒 Ingredients
Eggs (as many as you want)
Water
Ice (for an ice bath)
Optional: 1 tsp baking soda or vinegar (helps with peeling)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a single layer in a pot.
Cover with cold water, about 1–2 inches above the eggs.
Optional: Add 1 tsp baking soda or vinegar. This helps make peeling easier by loosening the egg whites.
Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover the pot and remove from heat. Let sit:
9–10 minutes for large eggs (hard-boiled)
12 minutes for extra-large eggs
2️⃣ Ice Bath
Prepare a bowl with ice and cold water.
Immediately transfer eggs to the ice bath.
Let them sit for 5–10 minutes. This stops cooking and firms the egg whites.
3️⃣ The Chef’s Hack for Perfect Peeling
Gently tap the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell.
Roll it lightly to loosen the shell all over.
Start peeling from the wider end, where there’s usually an air pocket.
Peel under running cold water — it slides right off without sticking.
4️⃣ Use or Store
Serve immediately, or store in the fridge up to a week for snacks, salads, or breakfast prep.
🔥 Cooking Method
This recipe uses a boil-and-shock method:
Boiling cooks the eggs evenly.
Ice bath stops the cooking and makes peeling easy.
Baking soda/vinegar softens the shell membrane for smooth peeling.
