Ingredients
Scale
Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
Others:
- cold water
- ice
Instructions
- Prepare Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water until the water is about 1 inch above the eggs.
- Boil Eggs: Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.
- Ice Bath: Prepare a large bowl of ice water. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs immediately into the ice bath and let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Peel Eggs: Gently crack the eggs all over and peel under running water for best results. The shells should slide off easily.
Notes
- Using slightly older eggs (about a week old) helps make peeling easier.
- Chilling the eggs quickly is key to loosening the membrane for a clean peel.
