Perfect Easy-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs

By commercecook

Fresh eggs are always harder to peel, so try to use eggs that are at least 2 weeks old. The amounts don't need to be exact.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs (or you may increase)
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1 pinch salt
• water to cover
• 3 cups ice cubes (or as much as desired)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan.
2. Cover the eggs with lukewarm water
3. Add in vinegar and pinch of salt.
4. Bring to full boil over medium heat: boil 2 minutes. (Start timing after the water reaches a full boil.)
5. Remove from heat and cover with a tight lid.
6. Allow the eggs to stand for 11 minutes.
7. Drain the eggs a couple times under very cold water.
8. Cover the eggs with cold water, then add some ice cubes.
9. Allow the eggs to sit in ice water for about 3 minutes.
10. Drain and peel.
