Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs, straight from the fridge
  • Water (enough to cover eggs by at least 1 inch)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Set aside.
  2. Place eggs in a single layer in the saucepan. Add cold water until the eggs are covered by at least 1 inch. Stir in vinegar and salt.
  3. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover the pot tightly with a lid.
  5. Let the eggs sit, covered, for 12 minutes for firm yolks (adjust time based on egg size and desired doneness).
  6. After the set time, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon.
  7. Let the eggs cool completely in the ice bath (at least 15 minutes). This helps prevent the yolks from turning green.
  8. Gently tap the egg all over to crack the shell. Start peeling under cold running water, working your way around the egg. Enjoy your easy peel hard boiled eggs!
