After the eggs have cooled for about 5 minutes in ice water, gently crack the shells and peel them under a little running water. The water helps to lift the shell away from the egg.
Tips for Best Results:
Freshness: Use relatively fresh eggs, but not the freshest you can find, as slightly older eggs peel more easily.
Consistency: Use the same method and timing once you find what works best for your preferred level of doneness.
Storage: Boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep them in their shells until you’re ready to eat them to maintain freshness.
Boiling eggs correctly might take a little practice to perfect the timing, but once you master it, you’ll be able to enjoy perfectly cooked eggs anytime. This method is not just about simplicity but also about bringing out the best in a humble egg. Give it a try, and you might just find your eggs turning out amazing every single time!
