Notes
HOW TO EASILY PEEL BOILED EGGS
To ensure your boiled eggs peel as easily as possible, try this. Add salt to the water. When the eggs are finished boiling (around the 12 minute mark) run cold water over them until they’re cold. Next, crack each one on the counter a couple of times and put it back into the cold water for about 10 minutes. This typically makes the peeling process super easy!
