How To Peel Hard Boiled Eggs
Learning how to peel hard-boiled eggs is easy with these quick tips to prepare your eggs for your favorite recipes.
Servings: 1 egg
Ingredients
- 1 Hard boiled eggs
Instructions
- Once the hard boiled eggs finish cooking, transfer them immediately to a bowl of ice water and allow them to sit for 5 minutes to fully cool. This also makes the eggs easier to peel.
- Tap one egg gently on a hard surface to loosen the shell. If needed, you can also gently roll the egg between your palm and the countertop.
- Hold the egg in one hand and gently peel away the shell from the cracked area all around the egg.
- Continue peeling until all the shell is removed. If any small shell fragments are difficult to remove, rinse the egg under running water to remove.
- Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Notes
Storage: Once hard boiled eggs have cooled to room temperature, transfer them to the refrigerator promptly. Store them in their shells in a bowl or container for maximum freshness. Hard boiled eggs with their shells will last in the fridge for up to 7 days. Peeled hard boiled eggs can also last up to a week but some sources recommend consuming them within 4 days. However, if you prefer to store peeled hard boiled eggs, make sure they are kept in an airtight container away from strong odors.
