How Do You Get The Perfect Peel On A Hard Boiled Egg?
To get a perfect peel on a hard boiled egg, start by gently placing the eggs in a pot of cold water and bring it to a rolling boil. Let them boil for about 10-12 minutes, then immediately remove them from the hot water and transfer them to an ice bath. Let the eggs cool in the ice bath for at least 5-10 minutes before attempting to peel them. The rapid change in temperature will cause the egg whites to contract slightly, making it easier to separate the shell from the egg. Gently tap the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then roll it between your hands to loosen the shell from the egg. Finally, peel the shell under cold running water to help remove any leftover bits.
