Main Dish
Easy to peel hard-boiled eggs
- 1 Liter of Water (need to cover the eggs)
- 4-8 eggs
- 1/4 cup of ice cubes
- Boil water in a covered pot until it’s boiling
- Uncover and use a ladle to drop the eggs in the boiling water
- Cook for 1 minute, uncovered
- Add the ice cube and simmer to maintain water at 170 -180 F and cook for 10 minutes. Science: Water temperature higher than 180 F for a longer period of time causes the proteins in egg white and egg yolks to bind more tightly, so egg white is rubbery and the yolk is drier and chalkier. Hydrogen sulfide also forms and produce a rotten-egg smell.
- Drain and peel under running water.
