How do you get the eggs to peel perfect?
To get eggs to peel perfectly, follow these steps:
1. Start with fresh eggs. Fresh eggs are easier to peel than older eggs.
2. Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
3. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water with a spoon. Do not crowd the eggs in the pot.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook the eggs for 10-12 minutes. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired doneness.
5. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.
6. Let the eggs cool in the ice water for at least 5 minutes.
7. Peel the eggs under running water. Start by cracking the shell all over. Then, gently peel the shell away from the egg.
Here are some additional tips for peeling eggs perfectly:
- Use a slotted spoon to lower the eggs into and remove them from the boiling water. This will help to prevent the eggs from cracking.
- Do not overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs are more difficult to peel.
- If you don't have an ice water bath ready, you can also run the eggs under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- You can also peel eggs before boiling them. To do this, simply crack the shell all over and then carefully peel the shell away from the egg. This method is more difficult, but it can be helpful if you are planning to use the eggs in a salad or other dish where you don't want the shell to be visible.
