Lovin' to Cook: Eggstra Easy to Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs

I’m sure we've all experienced the frustration of peeling a hard-boiled egg when most of the egg ends up going with the shell.  It seems like a huge waste to me so I did a little research before I made my latest batch of hard-boiled eggs.  I found that there are about a hundred methods to making the perfect eggs including baking them.  I wasn't feel that adventurous last night so I stuck with a boiling method that worked out really well.

R ecipe	Hard-Boiled Eggs
Ingredients:
6 eggs		1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a roaring boil. Once the water is boiling, add a teaspoon of baking soda. Cook the eggs for 10 minutes in the boiling water. Once the 10 minutes is up, remove the eggs from the pot using a slotted spoon.  Carefully drop them in a bowl of cold water. Once all eggs are removed from the pot and have been dropped in the bowl of cold water, carefully poor the cold water out of the bowl and rinse the eggs in fresh cold water.  After the water is no longer cold, fill the bowl back up with cold water and let the eggs sit for just a few minutes. Then let the cracking and peeling begin!  Tap the egg on the edge of the counter or sink and then squish the shell until it is cracked all over.  You should be able to peel the shell of easily without taking the egg with it.  Rinse each egg in cold water.

I like to make a batch of eggs and peel all of them at the same time.  After you rinse the eggs, if you store them in an airtight container, they’ll be fine for a couple of days.  These make for a quick and healthy grab and go snack.  I like them for breakfast on the go and simply put one in a Ziploc bag to eat once I get settled at work (before everybody else gets there of course).
