The secret to a perfectly peelable egg? Start with boiling water!
Ingredients
1
dozen fresh eggs
Water
Instructions
Bring water to a boil. With a large spoon, slowly and carefully drop the eggs down into the water. Return water to boil.
Boil for 10 minutes exactly.
Immediately pour off the hot water, adding cold water to cover the eggs. Repeat this twice. (Or add ice cubes to really speed up the process.)
The egg will peel perfectly!
