Maybe it’s just me, but I have struggled over the years making hard boiled eggs. Too cooked, under cooked, can’t peel them without removing at least half the white off the egg. Can I say, quite frustrating.

I will not take credit for this but it really really worked. I went looking at America’s Test Kitchen https://www.americastestkitchen.com and found the method below. I’ve used their recipes before so why not try this one. It worked the first time out. Thank you.

Healthy snacks that are good and leave you satiated are few and far between. Here is one I found.

Did that sound easy enough? It is and it works. The trick is to only take your eggs out of the fridge when you are about to put them in the steam. Putting cold eggs in the steam prevents the proteins in the egg white to fuse with the surrounding membrane making it possible to peel nicely.

Doing it this way causes the eggs to form a solid gel that shrinks and pulls away from the membrane. I’ve even doubled the recipe and it worked. Just make sure that your eggs are covered when you put them in the ice water. You don’t even need to peel them right away.

Trust me, making hard boiled eggs, going forward, will be easy. Think of all the things you can do to them at Easter time. You can really have fun and make them your own.
