HOW TO EASILY PEEL HARD-BOILED EGGS THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS

Steps:

• A hot start will give your eggs an easier peel, and the eggs will still cook beautifully and evenly.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, and then gently lower the eggs in the water. Use a wire basket or something to keep eggs from breaking.
• Once the eggs are in, lower the heat so that the water is at a gentle simmer. You don't want a full rolling boil, but just a gentle amount of bubbles.
• Cook for 13 minutes.
• When the eggs are finished cooking, drop the eggs into an ice bath for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, the eggs will be cool to the touch.
• Give them several taps against the countertop all over.
• Then peel any egg shells. After peeling, store eggs in the fridge for up to 5 days.
