The best way (apparently) is to add salt to the water. Once the water hits its boiling point, turn the heat to low and just let it sit there for about 15min.
Flash in bowl of ice water till cooled down (add salt as well) this should give you an easy peel.
"Cool slightly and peel".....Well not quite...The Missus says that after boiling the eggs "moderately for ten minutes" she runs them under cold water for a few minutes.The Missus just finished trying out a new method that someone at work told her about for boiling hard-boiled eggs that peel easily .
She said that it works like a charm .
Here's the method ....I ain't reading 43 pages to see if it has already been posted ...
To every quart of water add one tablespoon of vinegar ...boil eggs moderately for ten minutes .....that's it .
Cool slightly and peel .
Modified recipe fills a 1.5 liter jar:
Simmered together for 10 minutes:
1 1/2 cup pickling vinegar
1/2 cup wine vinegar
1 cup water
1 tbsp cyan pepper
1/2 cup Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp Montreal steak spice
2 tbsp salt
1 large bay leaf
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 tsp black pepper
Added to the jar with the brine
15 sprigs fresh dill, chopped, stems removed
1/2 onion (cut into rings)
10 cloves garlic (cut in half)
13 boiled eggs (at least a week old, brought to a boil then allowed to cool for 15 minutes, then covered with cold water for another 5-10 minutes before peeling)
You boil them when needed. The thing is the OLDER the egg, the easier it will be to peel once boiled. This is just to make things easier on your end.
Now go cook a batch and posts some pics for me![]()
