Christopher Kimball from Milk Street shared his method of hard boiling eggs which guarantee easy to peel eggs! It works perfectly!
The length of cooking time makes the orange yolk which is also creamy. This is the French style he learned in Paris
Check your eggs closely for cracks before you cook them! Don’t over crowd the eggs. Knocking eggs together while they boil may crack them
Ingredients
- 6-12 large eggs
- 1 large pot of boiling water
- 1 large bowl of ice water with lots of ice
Instructions
- Choose eggs which don’t have cracks
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil
- Gently place the eggs in the water. Use a slotted spoon to set them in the water
- Bring to a full boil. Boil for 8 minutes 40 seconds! No longer!
- With a strainer or slotted spoon remove the eggs from the boiling water and place them in ice water. Leave the eggs in the ice water 3 minutes
- Remove eggs from ice water and set them aside for Easter egg coloring or peeling to eat. They will peel easily and perfectly!
Voila!
