• Allow the eggs to sit in ice water for about 3 minutes.
• Drain and peel.

HOW TO BOIL EGGS PERFECTLY (EASY PEEL!)

Steps:

• Place eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a large saucepan or pot. Add enough water to cover the eggs with at least 1 in (2.5 cm) of water over them.
• Add a tablespoon (15 mL) of vinegar and a tablespoon (14 g) of sea salt to the pot. Stir gently.
• Place the pan onto the stove over high heat. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
• Once the water is boiling, set a timer to the following number of minutes based on how you want your eggs.1 minute - Very runny soft boiled eggs2 minutes - Runny soft boiled eggs3 minutes - Very gooey medium boiled eggs4 minutes - Gooey medium boiled eggs5 minutes - Just set medium boiled eggs6 minutes - Medium-hard boiled eggs7 minutes - Very creamy hard boiled eggs8 minutes - Creamy hard boiled eggs9 minutes - Firm hard boiled eggs10 minutes - Very firm hard boiled eggs
• Right before the timer is about to go off, turn on the faucet to the coldest that it goes and let it run until the water is ice cold. Once the timer goes off, drain the hot water and place the pan under the cold running water, letting the ice cold water fill the pan. The water will turn lukewarm from the heat of the eggs and pan. Keep running the water (it will overflow from the pot), until the water in the pan is ice cold. Leave the eggs in the pot for about 10 minutes, until they reach room temperature.
• Once the eggs are at room temperature (but not colder), you can peel them.
• To peel an egg, roll it on the counter with the palm of your hand, pressing gently to make cracks all over the shell. The peel will come right off!
• If not using right away, see notes in the post above about how to store hard boiled eggs and when to peel them.

A PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGG

Steps:

• Place eggs in a single layer in a heavy saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt (Salting the water helps minimize leaks if the eggs crack in the pan; the egg whites coagulate and seal off the crack more quickly). Turn the heat to high. As soon as the water comes to a gentle boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan.
• For creamy yolks, remove the lid after 10 minutes and run cold water over eggs for 1 minute. Set aside to cool at room temperature. For firmer yolks, leave the eggs to cool in the cooking water, uncovered, for up to 2 hours. To test if an egg has been cooked, spin it on a counter. A hard boiled egg spins faster than a raw egg.
• To peel, gently tap a boiled egg against the counter, turning and tapping to make a crackle pattern. Start peeling at the broad end, where there is an air pocket. Running the egg under cold water is not necessary, unless they are too hot to handle.

HARD BOILED EGGS (EASY TO PEEL)

Steps:

• Put the eggs in pot.
• Fill the pot with water just enough to cover the eggs.
• Add salt (optional).
• On high temperature, bring to a rapid boil.
• Cover pot.
• Turn off burner.
• Let sit for 20 minutes on the warm burner.
• Drain water, put eggs back in carton or bowl and put in refrigerator.
• Eat them once they cool.

PERFECT EASY PEEL HARD BOILED EGGS

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.

TO HARD-BOIL AND PEEL EGGS

Steps:

• Manufacturing Notes:
• Pricking: There is a bubble of air in the large end of the egg, which expands when the egg is heated and can crack the shell. To let that air escape, always prick the large end with an egg pricker or a pin, going in a good 1/4 inch.
• How much water? That depends on how many eggs you have. The water should cover the eggs by 1 inch, so use a tall pan, and I would hesitate, under home conditions, to do more than 2 dozen eggs at once.
• For 1 to 4 eggs...2 quarts of water For 12 eggs.......3 1/2 quarts of water For 24 eggs.......6 quarts of water
• Special Equipment Suggested: An egg pricker or drafting pin; a high rather than wide saucepan with cover; a bowl of sufficient size with ice cubes and water to cover eggs.
• The cooking: Lay the eggs in the pan and add the amount of cold water specified. Set over high heat and bring just to the boil; remove from heat, cover the pan, and let sit exactly 17 minutes.
• The 2-minute chill: When the time is up, transfer the eggs to the bowl of ice cubes and water. Chill for 2 minutes while bringing the cooking water to the boil again. The 2-minute chilling shrinks the body of the egg from the shell.
• The 10-second boil: Transfer the eggs (6 at a time only) to the boiling water, bring to the boil again, and boil for 10 seconds--which in turn expands the shell from the egg. Return the eggs to the ice water, cracking the shells gently in several places.
• Preventing that dark line around the yolk: Chilling the eggs promptly prevents that dark line from forming, and if you have time, leave the egg in the ice water (adding more ice if needed) for 15 to 20 minutes before peeling. Chilled eggs are easier to peel, too. Or peel them, as described in the next paragraph, and ice them at once.
• Peeling: Crack an egg all over by gently tapping it against the sink. Then, starting at the large end, and holding the egg either under a thin stream of cold water or in the bowl of ice water, start peeling. As soon as you have peeled it, return the egg to the ice water so that it will continue to chill.
• Storing the HB eggs: They will keep perfectly in the refrigerator, submerged in water in an uncovered container, for 2 to 3 days.

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.

EASY PEEL NO FAIL HARD COOKED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring the water to a rolling boil - not a simmer.
• Using a push pin (what you would use on a bulletin board, or something similar) gently poke a hole in the fat end of the egg. It's easy to do. This will prevent the egg from breaking when you put it in the water, however, if you skip this, only the occasional egg will pop.
• Using a slotted spoon gently lower each egg into the boiling water, get them all in quickly.
• BOIL - not simmer - the eggs for 6 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let eggs sit for 6 minutes, this will give you a very slightly moist yolk, add 30 seconds or so to boil time if you like them a little drier -to your preference.
• Remove eggs using the slotted spoon and set on a towel or (as I do) in a dish rack, allow to cool to room temp or until you can handle, don't put in cold water.
• Crack and peel shells, they will slip right off, the whites are tender so be gentle!
• Chill and use as desired.
• To cook more eggs increase the volume of boiling water, it should remain boiling when the eggs are added.
• HINT: To season the eggs nicely for lunches, snacks or deviled, put the peeled eggs in a ziploc bag and sprinkle with salt to taste and refrigerate overnight, makes a big difference in the flavor.

EASY-PEEL HARD-"BOILED" EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a stainless steel steamer pot with about 1 inch water and bring to a boil.
• Add eggs to the steamer tray, carefully lower into the pot, cover, and reduce heat. Cook for 10 minutes for medium yolks or 15 minutes for fully-cooked yolks.
• Remove the steamer tray and rattle eggs around to crack the shells. Transfer eggs to a cold water bath and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from water bath.
• Gently crack each egg, roll on a cutting board, then peel the shell off from the fat end towards the point.
