Kittencal's Technique for Perfect Easy-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs
By: KITTENCAL
Oct 16, 2007
The one and only method I use for perfect hard-boiled eggs and the only one you will use also, this is a no-fail method! --- don't omit the vinegar it makes peeling the eggs easier and your eggs will be bright yellow! — it doesn't matter what amount of water or eggs that you use just make certain that you add in about 2 teaspoons of vinegar, I don't even measure I just pour the vinegar into the water from the bottle the exact 2 teaspoons does not really matter, of course use as many eggs as you wish and the exact amount of ice is not necessary you can use more, also try to use eggs that are at least 2 weeks old fresh eggs are somewhat harder to peel.

This is by far the easiest way to boil eggs! My DH is doing the cooking right now, and wasn't sure he could do the "boiled egg thing" Kitt, he was so proud of himself! The directions are spot on perfect and EASY to follow with amazing results! Thanks KITT!

Kitten...as usual I don't know why I look elsewhere when I want a perfect recipe! I threw out 2 batches of hard-boiled eggs using others' methods because they weren't cooked and wouldn't peel. Funny thing is...I never cared how ugly my eggs looked after peeling because I don't make deviled eggs and just assumed I wasn't detailed enough to peel it the way others can. WRONG!!!! It was my cooking methods!! I peeled my first PERFECT egg and my yolk was perfectly cooked and super creamy! Not clumpy the way I always made them (and never realized could be improved upon!). My kids are into hardboiled eggs right now and these are my ONLY recipe from now on. No reason to look any further. I'll be adding a link to this recipe in my two other egg reviews on the other recipes in the event anyone using those recipes experiences the seriously undercooked problem that I did. You're awesome!! Thank you!

I've been boiling eggs in this fashion for a long time with perfect results. Thanks for the vinegar tip - that I didn't know. It will be a pleasure to eliminate those peeling problems. You are an awesome Zaar contributor. Thanks.
