Easy Peel Boiled Eggs
If your eggs are super fresh, adding bicarb soda will change the pH and assist with peeling. Older eggs don't need this.
Ingredients
- as many eggs as you need
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda (optional)
Instructions
-
Place eggs in a small saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer.
-
When the eggs start simmering, set your timer for 8 minutes.
-
As soon as your timer rings, drain the eggs and transfer to a bowl. Run cold water over the eggs for a minute and then let the eggs sit in the water until cool.
-
Bash the eggs on the side of your sink to crack the shells all over.
-
Roll the egg between your hands to help loosen the membrane. Gently peel the membrane and shell from the eggs.
