What You Will Need to Make Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs
See our recipe card below for the full ingredient amounts and instructions.
A very large cooking pot
Water (enough to cover the eggs)
A dozen eggs
The Easy Peel Egg Method:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, gently place the eggs in the water (I use a large slotted spoon to lower them in the pot). Make sure the eggs are in a single layer in the pot… they shouldn’t be stacked. And the boiling water should come up over the egg.
For soft boiled eggs, cook 6-7 minutes, for hard boiled eggs cook for exactly 11 minutes. See chart on this page for cooking times.
Once the time is up, bring the pot over to the sink, drain some of the hot water out, and run cold tap water over the eggs. Let the eggs sit in the water for a few minutes until they start to cool all the way through.
You can either peel them now under the cold water, or put them directly in the fridge and peel later. Either way, you eggs with come out perfectly. Every. Single. Time.

Hi! In the video, I see an ice bath, but I do t see that mentioned in the recipe as part of the process. Can you pls explain where/when the ice bath comes in? I tried Pioneer Woman’s egg peeling method and it did not work, so I’m hoping yours will since deviled eggs are my husband’s favorite. Thanks\!

Hi Carole, the ice bath is optional – but you can use it right after you take the eggs out of the boiling water when they are done cooking. Let me know how yours turn out\!

Thank you! Last question, hopefully! Does it matter if the eggs are cold when I put them in the boiling water or if they are room temperature? I have both, but I’m not sure which starting temp will make them easier to peel, or if ot even matters? My previous peeling experience was so bad, I’m trying h to set myself up for big success this time 🙂 thanks for the help\!

Do you leave the water boiling the full cook time or do you lower it at any point?

Hi Keith, I leave the water boiling (if you use a big enough pot it should be a problem) but if your pot of overflowing a bit, you could turn the heat down to medium-high.
Let me know how it turns out\!

## **What You Will Need to Make Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs**
See our recipe card below for the full ingredient amounts and instructions.
- A very large cooking pot
- Water (enough to cover the eggs)
- A dozen eggs
## **The Easy Peel Egg Method:**
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, gently place the eggs in the water (I use a large slotted spoon to lower them in the pot). Make sure the eggs are in a single layer in the pot… they shouldn’t be stacked. And the boiling water should come up over the egg.
- For soft boiled eggs, cook 6-7 minutes, for hard boiled eggs cook for exactly 11 minutes. See chart on this page for cooking times.
- Once the time is up, bring the pot over to the sink, drain some of the hot water out, and run cold tap water over the eggs. Let the eggs sit in the water for a few minutes until they start to cool all the way through.
- You can either peel them now under the cold water, or put them directly in the fridge and peel later. Either way, you eggs with come out perfectly. Every. Single. Time.
- These are especially great turned into my Family Recipe Deviled Eggs\!
