How to Boil Eggs So They're Easy to Peel: The Best Techniques to Adopt
13.04.2024 02:10
Many people do not like to peel boiled eggs, because this process takes a lot of time and effort.
Why not cook eggs in such a way that they are easy to peel later?
There are a few tricks that you can safely use.
Ideal cooking time
The first step to perfect hard-boiled eggs is proper cooking time.
Too short a time can result in raw eggs, and you should not overcook them either. The optimal cooking time for hard-boiled eggs is about 10-12 minutes after the water boils.
Adding salt to water
Adding a small amount of salt to the water for cooking is a universal method that is worth using. Thanks to the salt, the eggs will not burst during cooking. Also, because of the salt, the water will boil faster, so you can speed up the cooking of the eggs a little.
Cooling in ice water
After hard-boiling eggs, you should cool them in ice water. This helps stop the cooking process and prevents the yolk from overcooking. Cooling in ice water also helps separate the egg shell from the egg, making it easier to peel.
Cleaning under running water
To easily peel eggs, it makes sense to turn on cold water and start the process. Under a stream of cold water, it is easier to get rid of the shell, and the eggs will not be hot, which provides additional comfort.
Of course, using such tips for faster cleaning only makes sense if there are a lot of eggs.
If you need to peel 1-2 eggs, after boiling, it is enough to place them in cool water and peel them immediately. Even using various tricks, it is always worth being rational.
