Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs
- 2 quarts water
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 4 cups cold water
Instructions:
- Fill your saucepan with 2 quarts water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Stir in 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tbsp white vinegar once the water is bubbling.
- Turn the burner to medium low so the water is just simmering.
- Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the 12 large eggs into the water.
- Turn the heat back up to medium high and start your timer for 12 minutes until the water returns to a gentle, steady boil.
- While the eggs cook, combine 2 cups ice cubes and 4 cups cold water in your large bowl.
- Immediately move the eggs to the ice bath when the timer beeps until the shells feel cold to the touch.
- Leave the eggs in the ice water for at least 10 minutes.
- Gently tap the egg on a hard surface to shatter the shell all over, then roll it between your palms.
- Dip the egg into the water as you peel until the shell slips off in large, clean pieces.
