Learn how to prepare perfectly peelable eggs for your salads with this simple and effective method.
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water.
Ensure the water level is about an inch above the eggs for even cooking.
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
Cover the saucepan with a lid to speed up the boiling process.
Once boiling, let the eggs cook for 12 minutes.
Set a timer to avoid overcooking the eggs.
Prepare a bowl with cold water and add the ice cubes.
The ice water stops the cooking process immediately, preventing overcooking.
Transfer the eggs to the ice water using a slotted spoon and let them sit for 2 minutes.
Gently place the eggs in the ice water to avoid cracking the shells.
Return the eggs to the boiling water for 30 seconds.
This step helps loosen the shell for easier peeling.
Place the eggs back in the ice water for another minute to cool.
Ensure the eggs are fully submerged in the ice water for even cooling.
Peel the eggs gently and use them as desired.
Roll the egg on a flat surface to crack the shell evenly before peeling.
