Ingredients of Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

Eggs (obviously!)

(Super fresh eggs crack easily, so try to use “older” but not bad eggs. Read the notes below.)

How to Boil Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

Bring a pot of water to a full boil. Use an appropriate sized pot that will fit your eggs. I use a 2.5 quart pot for six eggs.

If using, use a thumbtack to make a tiny hole at the top of the big end of the eggs. (See note.)

Gently lower the eggs into boiling water. A fine mesh strainer or spider-skimmer work well for this.

Boil for 30 seconds, then turn the burner to the lowest setting for a very gentle (not rolling) simmer. 

Cover the pan with a lid and wait 13 minutes.

Put the eggs in an ice bath. You can do this by filling a separate bowl with water and ice, and transfer the eggs, or, gently pour the water out of the pan without cracking the eggs, then fill the pan with cold water and ice. The first way, with the bowl, is easiest to prevent accidentally cracking your eggs while they are hot.

Leave the eggs in the ice bath for 15 minutes.

Peel, or store in the refrigerator unpeeled for up to three days.

To peel, gently tap the egg at the big end first, then the small end, then tap all around to gently crack the shell. Be amazed at how easy they peel.
