Perfect Easy to Peel Hard Boiled Eggs


Hard boiled eggs, that are easy to peel, are made with eggs that should be bought at least a week ago. Your eggs should be purchased 5-7 days in advance of boiling. 

Directions:
Remove 6 eggs from the refrigerator as you bring a pot of water to almost a boil. Make sure you have enough water in the pot so as when you place the eggs in they will all be covered with the water.

Gently lower one egg at a time into the water...I place each one on a large spoon to lower them into the water. Set timer for 13 minutes. When the water starts to boil again, turn the heat down to medium.  When the timer rings, it is time to cool the eggs. Drain off the hot water and fill pot with cold water. After 5 minutes, drain and fill pot once again with cold water, and let sit for another 5 minutes. Once cooled, drain the water from the eggs. Store the eggs in a covered container (eggs can release unpleasant odors) in the refrigerator.  They should be eaten, or used in a recipe within a week.

***It is very hard to overcook eggs using this technique.

Enjoy! Élvez! Piacere! Gustirati! Radosť!
