How do you get boiled eggs to peel easily?

Here are the instructions

First I place the eggs in a saucepan or pot of cold water and place it on the stove. This cold start is part of the magic. Bring the water to a boil.  I also use an Eggtimer – just to make sure my eggs are done.

After the eggs are boiling, add 1 TBSP of salt and turn the burner off and set a timer for 10 minutes. Let the eggs sit until the timer goes off. 

Remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and ice.  I use a slotted spoon to transfer them. Keep the eggs in the ice water bath until they are completely cool.

When moving the eggs from the large bowl of ice water, you can use the spoon again if you don’t want to touch the cold water, but they are cool to the touch so you don’t have to worry about burning yourself. You could also put a steamer basket in the bottom to help with easy removal.

See – they peel so easy!  It’s great! This is my secret for perfect hard-boiled eggs. Store you eggs in the fridge.

Now that you have your eggs, let’s talk about hard-boiled eggs recipe ideas:

• Deviled eggs: Halve the eggs, remove the yolks, and mix them with mayonnaise, mustard, and other desired ingredients. Spoon the mixture back into the egg whites for a tasty appetizer or snack.
• Egg salad: Chop the hard-boiled eggs and mix them with mayonnaise, mustard, diced celery, onions, and any other preferred seasonings. Serve the egg salad on bread, crackers, or lettuce leaves.
• Cobb salad: Slice or chop the hard-boiled eggs and use them as a topping for a classic Cobb salad. Combine them with ingredients like lettuce, avocado, bacon, tomatoes, chicken, and blue cheese.
• Tuna or chicken salad: Add chopped hard-boiled eggs to tuna or chicken salad for extra protein and flavor. Mix the eggs with canned tuna or shredded chicken, mayonnaise, chopped vegetables, and seasonings.
• Niçoise salad: Arrange halved hard-boiled eggs on a bed of lettuce or mixed greens along with other traditional Niçoise salad ingredients like cooked green beans, tomatoes, olives, and canned tuna.
• Scotch eggs: Wrap hard-boiled eggs in seasoned sausage meat, coat them in breadcrumbs, and then deep-fry or bake until golden brown. This is a popular snack or appetizer.
• Ramen or noodle bowls: Slice hard-boiled eggs and add them to ramen or other noodle dishes. The creamy yolk adds richness to the broth and complements the flavors of the dish.
• Pickled eggs: Store hard-boiled eggs in a jar filled with a mixture of vinegar, water, and spices like cloves, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Allow them to pickle for a few days in the refrigerator before enjoying.
• Egg curry: Add hard-boiled eggs to a flavorful curry sauce made with spices, tomatoes, onions, and coconut milk. Simmer the eggs in the sauce to infuse them with the flavors.
• Egg sandwiches or wraps: Slice the hard-boiled eggs and use them as a filling for sandwiches or wraps. Combine them with lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and other desired ingredients.

What can be made of boiled eggs?

• You can eat the boiled egg just as is. Store them in the refrigerator for a quick snack.
• Mash it and put it on a salad
• Make egg salad out of it and serve it on bread or on a lettuce wrap
• Mix it with avocado and spread it on toast
• Make deviled eggs
• Add them to potato salad

There are rumors of using older eggs vs. fresh eggs. I have not found a difference in my own experience. I have also heard you can use baking soda instead of salt, but I have not tried that. You can bake your eggs to hard boil them, and you can use pressure cooker as well. Cracks sometimes happen, and I just make the best of them.
