Perfect Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

How to cook easy to peel hard boiled eggs

Every time I cook hard boiled eggs I always would seem to have the most difficult time peeling them after they had cooled off. That was until I found this recipe. By placing the eggs in boiling water to start does increase your chance of getting a few eggs that will crack but I would much prefer taking that chance then spending 30 minutes trying to peel a dozen eggs.

1) First bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil on high heat.

2) Next slowly place eggs in pot with a slotted spoon.

3) Boil eggs for about 10-15 minutes.

4) Using the slotted spoon, immediately transfer eggs to a bowl filled with ice water for about 20 min.

Voilà, easy to peel eggs. Sometimes when adding the eggs to the boiling water you will get some that will crack. I cooked a dozen eggs and only 2 cracked open. This eggs shown above was an egg that had cracked open, which is why it looks a little funny, but I wanted to see how the eggs turned out. They turned out great and peeled with ease.

First Week Home

When we got home we introduced the dogs to our daughter. They were skeptical of her and were a little afraid. They had never seen a baby before and it was funny because every time she moved they would jump. They eventually warmed up to her once they got to investigate her a little bit. The cats on the other hand didn't want anything to do with her. Later that evening we got a call from the hospital with the results of her bilirubin test she had gotten that morning. Her results were worse than they were the day before and she was now at the level where she needed phototherapy. Someone from the hospital drove to our house that night and dropped off a biliblanket. Biliblankets are used for phototherapy that helps break down high levels of bilirubin in the bloodstream. It exerts a blue/white light of varying intensity that permeates through a light fabric. The baby is then placed on the blanket during treatment. We were instructed to keep her on it as much ...

From The Beginning

Let me start by thanking you for listening to my story and letting me share my experiences with you. I will start my story letting you know a little bit on how my husband and I met. Our story began back in 2007 when we were both in high school. We met in history class our junior year in high school. He was a laid-back skateboarder and I was an angsty teen who was into photography and music. It was a project for my photography class that brought us together. We dated all through high school and in college we moved in together. During our time in college we adopted 2 cats (female- mixed breed, male- flame point siamese) and 2 dogs (female & male- husky and malamute mix). Shortly after graduating with our bachelor's degrees at Wichita State University we got engaged. My husband went back to college to get his master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and I worked my way up at a local credit union in town. Fast forward to now, we have been married for two years and needl...

Labor and Delivery

When I found out that I was going to be admitted to the hospital that night at 37 weeks because I had developed preeclampsia, I had so many emotions running through my head. I was happy, excited, relieved, nervous but mostly afraid. I had thought that I still had 3 weeks left but here I was about to have the baby as soon as the next day. I wasn't necessarily mentally prepared for what was about to come but in hind sight I'm kind of glad it happened the way it did. I tend to over analyze and obsess over little things so I know that if I were to have been coming up to my due date I would be a nervous wreck. After I called my husband to let him know what was going on he got his affairs in order at work and let them know he was going to start his 2 week vacation. He was also surprised but excited that all this was going to happen so fast. When I got home I finished packing up the little things that I needed to put in our hospital bag. I had luckily started packin...
