Introduction
Peeling hard-boiled eggs can be a frustrating task, especially when bits of shell stick to the egg white, leaving it pockmarked. But worry no more! The Japanese technique for peeling eggs offers a game-changing solution that is both quick and efficient. This guide will walk you through how to achieve perfectly peeled eggs in seconds, ensuring a smooth and beautiful finish every time.
Ingredients
6 large eggs
Water (enough to submerge the eggs in a pot)
Ice cubes (for an ice bath)
Directions
Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water, ensuring the water is at least 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 9-12 minutes, depending on your preferred yolk consistency.
Prepare the Ice Bath
While the eggs are boiling, fill a large bowl with cold water and ice.
Cool the Eggs
Once the eggs are done, transfer them immediately into the ice bath. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes. This step stops the cooking process and helps separate the membrane from the shell.
