Ingredients
-
6 large eggs (older = easier to peel!)
-
Cold tap water (enough to cover eggs by 1″)
-
Ice + water for shocking
Instructions
-
Arrange & Cover: Place eggs in a saucepan in a single layer. Add cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch.
-
Boil & Steep: Bring to a rolling boil. As soon as it boils, turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and start your timer:
-
10 mins: jammy centers
-
12 mins: classic firm yolks
-
14 mins: extra firm
-
-
Ice Bath: Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Chill for 10–15 mins.
-
Peel Like a Pro: Tap, roll, and peel under cool running water. Start at the wide end where the air pocket is.
Notes
-
Use older eggs for easier peeling
-
Chill completely before peeling
-
Skip vinegar/soda hacks—good timing is all you need
