As if hard boiling an egg didn’t have enough of a learning curve, farm fresh eggs can make it even more difficult to get the job done right.
To get started, grab a large pot, some eggs and a bit of baking soda.
-
Place clean eggs in pan & cover with just enough cold water to completely cover the eggs.
-
Add 1 tbsp of baking soda to the water.
-
Cover with lid & bring to a boil.
-
Remove from heat immediately after water reaches boil. Let eggs sit in covered pot for approximately 7-8 minutes after removing from heat.
-
Transfer eggs to cold water.
-
Peel & eat when ready!
The baking soda helps to pull the shell away from the flesh of the egg.
And it’s worth noting that letting your eggs sit for a couple weeks will make the task of hard boiling much, much easier. But if you’re in a rush or just don’t want to wait, give my method a try and you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
