Making hard-boiled eggs is an essential cooking skill, and while it seems easy, a quick meal to cook results often come up just short of perfect. Step 1: Use the right eggs It is best to use eggs that are just past peak freshness, though not expired or bad.

The outer membrane in a fresh egg tends to cling to the shell more than in an older egg, making the peeling process more difficult. Here’s the easiest way to tell if your eggs have gone bad. Step 2: Place the eggs in a pot Place the eggs in a pot, cover completely with cold water, and put the pot on the stove. Add in a small splash of white vinegar, if desired. It’s rumored to help with peeling.

Step 3: Bring the cold water to a boil over high heat After your eggs, water and a tiny splash if vinegar are in your pot, bring the cold water to a boil over high heat, leaving the pot uncovered. Once the water arrives at a rolling, bubbling boil, turn the heat off, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. 9 minutes for medium-sized eggs and 12 minutes for large eggs. Step 4: Give the eggs an ice bath When the timer goes off, remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in a large bowl of ice-cold water to halt the cooking process and lower the temperature of the eggs. When the eggs reach room temperature, it’s time to peel them — any colder and they’ll be tougher to peel. Step 5: Peel the eggs Roll the egg under your palm on the counter so that the shell is broken and cracked all over, and then submerge the egg in your bowl of room-temperature water.

This will help to loosen the membrane that connects the white to the shell. While the egg is still submerged, begin to peel it. You can also opt to peel the eggs under the running water of the faucet so the added pressure of the water can work to remove the shells, too. Your delicious eggs are now ready for any preparation.
