Hard Boiled Eggs Easy To Peel Recipes

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.

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:

• 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.

Steps:

• A hot start will give your eggs an easier peel, and the eggs will still cook beautifully and evenly.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, and then gently lower the eggs in the water. Use a wire basket or something to keep eggs from breaking.
• Once the eggs are in, lower the heat so that the water is at a gentle simmer. You don't want a full rolling boil, but just a gentle amount of bubbles.
• Cook for 13 minutes.
• When the eggs are finished cooking, drop the eggs into an ice bath for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, the eggs will be cool to the touch.
• Give them several taps against the countertop all over.
• Then peel any egg shells. After peeling, store eggs in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a saucepan.
• Cover the eggs with lukewarm water.
• Add in vinegar and pinch salt.
• Bring to a full boil over medium heat; boil for 2 minutes (start timing after the water reaches a full boil).
• Remove from heat cover with a tight lid.
• Allow the eggs to stand for 11 minutes.
• Drain the eggs a couple times under very cold water.
• Cover the eggs with cold water then add in some ice.
• Allow the eggs to sit in ice water for about 3 minutes.
• Drain and peel.

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.
