So, you're going to need a pot, I actually have a pot that I use only for boiling my eggs in.
The pot above was my mother's, when they moved four years ago to a smaller home she got rid of her set but I took the biggest! I remember my mom soaking the beans for bean soup in this pot, making popcorn, pasta and kielbasa stew; so there's a lot of fun memories.
Hard Boil Eggs (2 options)
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- Stock Pot
Instructions
Option 1
- Let eggs sit on counter while you bring water in stockpot to rolling boil
- Gently add eggs to water
- Boil for 13 minutes
- Carefully remove eggs to bowl of ice water and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from ice water, dry and place in refrigerator.
Option 2
- Let eggs sit on counter while you bring water in stockpot to rolling boil
- Gently add eggs to water
- Boil 6 minutes
- After 6 minutes turn off burner, cover pot and continue to let it cook for 7 minutes
- Then carefully remove eggs to bowl of ice water and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from ice water, dry and place in refrigerator.
☆ TIP: I've learned over the years the older the egg the easier they peel.
Happy Cooking!
Enjoy your day! ♡ Tina

I'm going to try your methods. I never seem to make them easy to peel. :(
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean and I hope this works for you. Don't forget older eggs usually work better. But nothing is perfect, even with these methods I do have two eggs may be out of a batch that are just stubborn!
