Boiling eggs may sound like a simple task, but getting them just right with no cracks and easy peeling can be a bit tricky. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with these easy-to-follow steps for flawless boiled eggs every time.
1. Choose the Right Eggs
When it comes to boiling eggs, older is better! Eggs that have been sitting in your fridge for about 7-10 days are perfect for boiling. Fresher eggs tend to stick to the shell, making them a hassle to peel.
. Prevent Eggs from Cracking
To avoid those pesky cracks on your boiled eggs, make sure to bring them to room temperature before boiling. Let them sit out for 10-15 minutes. You can also add a pinch of salt or a splash of vinegar to the water to help seal any small cracks in the shell.
3. Step-by-Step Boiling Process
Start by arranging your eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a pot to prevent any bumping and cracking.
Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
Slowly bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat. This gradual heating reduces the risk of cracks.
Once the water starts boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Vigorous boiling can cause the eggs to crack.
