I learned a tip for peeling hard boiled eggs. Place 1″ of water in a jar, place egg in jar, cover with your hand and shake hard for 15 or so seconds (over the sink is best)
The shell comes off. It doesn’t stick to the egg. Easy!

I always boil my eggs exactly 15 min. not a hard boil but boil non the less for a full 15 min and submerge immediately into a cold bath just like Heidi says. And it works perfectly everytime. Thanks Heidi for sharing. It really does work, I’ve been doing it for 30 years.
Chelsea says
Do you put the eggs in the pot before the water is boiling or after? Might be a duh question but I don’t want to ruin them. Thanks!!
Heidi says
Hi Chelsea ~ I always place my eggs in the water first before bringing to a boil. Hope that helps! 😉
