  • Place the eggs in a pot. Cover them by 1 to 2 inches with cold water.

  • Cover the pot and let the egg sit for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Then have a bowl of cold water with a little ice in it ready to go. Transfer the eggs into the icy cold water with a skimmer spoon. Allow to cool.
  • Then the eggs are ready to be peeled and enjoyed!

Notes

PEELING: There are several different methods to use. I use the tap and roll method mostly. Lightly tap the hard boiled egg on the corner of a pan or cutting board. Then lightly roll egg on a cutting board or hard surface. The peel should come off easily this way. There are so many ways to peel an egg, this is just one that I like to use often.
