Tip of the Day


Yes Virginia,

There is a Santa Claus, and there is such a thing as the perfect boiled egg!  And peeling them couldn't get any easier!

Place eggs in a pan. Cover with cold water. Add salt to make peeling easier.  

Bring to a full boil.  Turn off the heat but leave setting on burner for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.  Then drain and run cold water over them until the shell is cool to touch.  Drain cold water off but LEAVE about two to three inches of water in bottom of pan with the eggs. 

Put a lid on the pan with the eggs still in that couple of inches of cold water.  Hold lid tight and ((((SHAKE)))) the begeebees out of the eggs.  The shells should now slip off easily. 

Works for me! It's my favorite way to easily peel eggs!
