Tips For the Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
- Start with old eggs: Fresh eggs are harder to peel. If you can, use eggs that have been in your fridge for a week or two.
- Use a pot large enough: Give your eggs plenty of space to avoid cracking. A single layer at the bottom of the pot is ideal.
- Cool in ice water: After cooking, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Cooling stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
- Peel under running water: Peeling the eggs under a gentle stream of water can help remove the shell more smoothly.
