The Secret to Peeling a Hard Boiled Egg



There are so many "try this" recipes when it comes to the perfect hard boiled egg, but there really is only one true method that works for me.  Raising chickens, we eat hard boiled eggs frequently and I am always asked to bring deviled eggs to carry-in's and funeral dinners.

The first thing you want to do is place the eggs in a saucepan filled with cold water.  It's best to use cold water because it tends to keep the eggs from overcooking.  Make sure there is enough water to cover the eggs by about 2 inches.

Next, bring the water to a full boil.  Let the eggs cook for about 10-15 minutes and remove the eggs from the stove.  Let the eggs stand for another 5-7 minutes.

Once the saucepan of eggs has cooled down a bit, run cold water over the eggs until they are ENTIRELY cooled.  The cooling process is the SECRET to peeling the perfect hard boiled egg.  I usually run cold water over the eggs for 5 minutes and let them cool in a drainer for about 45 minutes and then I put them in the fridge until the next day.  The next day they peel perfectly!  If you don't have time to do this and the eggs seem a little hard to peel after they've cooled, roll them in between your hands to crack the entire shell and then peel.

So there you have it!  You now know the secret...the cool down process!

  1. I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
    I'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do?
