I am on a low carb diet and eat a lot of hard boiled eggs. I used to hate making hard boiled eggs because they would never peel without bits of egg clinging to the shell. I stumbled on this method by experimenting and it works EVERY TIME. The eggs peel quickly with no waste. FYI . Hope this is helpful
Place eggs in a pan of cold water.
Bring to a boil, then turn off heat, cover and wait 15 minutes.
Fill another pan with cold water.
Drop each cooked egg in the pan of cold water, DO THIS ONE EGG AT A TIME.
Wait 5 seconds then crack and peel. A quart jar will hold a dozen eggs and they are ready for a quick snack.
Do not put unpeeled eggs in the frig. They will dry out and peel poorly.
Works every time with all eggs. I guess the temperature shock loosens the egg from the shell.
