How to Boil Eggs that Peel EasyNote: The vinegar in the water begins to break down the eggs shell during the boiling process, making the eggs easier to peel. The salt helps by loosening the shell through permeation, and shocking the eggs with an ice bath causes them to immediately stop cooking, which also makes them easier to peel.Method1. Fill a large pot with enough water for the desired number of eggs to be fully submerged by at least an inch.2. Add 1/4 cup of vinegar to the pot, and then place on med-high heat. 3. Bring the vinegar-water to a rolling boil. 4. At this time add 1 tablespoon of salt to the pot and stir until dissolved. 5.Then, slowly and carefully lower the desired amount of eggs into the boiling water. 6. You may have an egg or two crack due to the rapid change in temperature, but it is worth it for the easy-peel of the shells. 7. Reduce the heat to low, boiling the eggs on a simmer for 12-15 minutes, depending on how well done you like your eggs. 
8. Once cooked to the desired wellness remove the eggs from the stove and quickly place them into an ice bath, ensuring that they are fully submerged. 9. Once the eggs are cold the shells will slide right off! |
