Found on Mom On A Mission for Christ
Raise your hand if you enjoy making boiled eggs? I’m raising mine because I make them every week. My two boys LOVE boiled eggs. Guess what? I ate eggs nearly every day while I was pregnant. I craved them scrambled, boiled and fried and sadly, I still like them. So, no wonder they love eggs.
I also am the executive devil egg maker on hubby’s side of the family. I’m recruited at every event. So, I’ve learned to love making boiled eggs and I’ve nearly perfected them (No one is perfect).
Here is the world’s easiest way to make boiled eggs.
1. Fill a pot with water and set the temp to high. Add desired amount of eggs making sure the water covers the entire egg. Bring it to a boil. DON”T CONTINUE TO BOIL. Once it begins, remove it from the heat and put a lid on it. Set your timer for 15 minutes.
2. Ding! Pour the hot water off and immediately fill your pot with cold water. Add as much ice as you can to this water. If it melts in a few minutes, add more. The water should be icy cold when you put your hand in it. If not, continue adding ice.
3. After about 10-15 minutes (no set time), pour NEARLY all of the water off reserving about an inch.
4. Put the lid on and now it’s time to play bumper cars. You heard me, shake those babies bumping them together back and forth. You’ll look ridiculous, but I promise it’s worth the goofy look so you’re not peeling each one under cold running water. Just continue to shake, shake, shake for about a minute and voila! When you remove the lid nearly all of your shell has fallen off the egg and they EASILY peel off without peeling the egg off.
There that’s my method of boiled eggs. I store them in a ziploc bag (dated-because they have a week long shelf-life) in the fridge and I’ve saved myself time, energy and money (because I didn’t buy the boiled eggs in a bag sold at the store). And my boys are happy all week long. I add them to my chef salad or eat them as a protein snack.
P.S. If you’re making deviled eggs, whip your yolk with your wire whisk in your mixer. And whisk a long time and add a tablespoon or two extra mayo and top it with a sliced olive with pimento. All your in-laws will think you’ve went to culinary school!
Have you ever tried this bumper car method? Do you make deviled eggs? Now you can!

will this work with fresh brown eggs too?
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it with brown eggs. I would think so. If you do try it please let me know. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFinally thank u,I was so tired of having messing hard-boiled eggs.
ReplyDeleteBoiled Egg is good for eyes too :) I really enjoyed your Food Recipes
ReplyDeleteI will use thus method from now on. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't already do this, I put my yolk mixture in a cake decorating bag with a starred tip. I can fill 2 dozen egg white halves in about a minute. When I couldn't find the cake decorating bag, I used a ziplock Baggie with a corner cut off.
