In this post I’m sharing how to make Perfect Easy Peel Boiled Eggs.

Place your eggs into a pot and fill with water covering eggs 1″. Add 1/2 tsp salt to the water. Place the pot on your stove top burner and turn on high.

Once the eggs come to a full boil turn the heat down to medium high and set your timer for 10 minutes.

When the timer rings remove the eggs from the burner and cover with a lid and set the timer for 10 more minutes.

When the time ends pour out the hot water and run cold water into the pot and let run for about 3-4 minutes until eggs have cooled down.

Peel the eggs immediately for easy peeling. Eggs peel perfect every time using this method.

Why do you want your boiled eggs to peel easily? The most important reason is to avoid wasting food.

If you’re using boiled eggs that will be chopped into a salad then it is not such a big deal.

If you’re using your boiled eggs to make deviled eggs then you want the best looking eggs possible.
