DISH NAME : HARD BOILED AND PEELED EGSS

Preparation Time : 8 minutes

Cooking Time : 12 minutes

Description

This recipe may seem silly, but many a times for atleast a few people the boiling part has been okay, but the peeling not very pleasing with unsightly cracks on peeled eggs.

Note

1) You need not increase vinegar and salt with the increase in the number of eggs to be boiled.
2) Preferable to use a few days old eggs as fresh eggs will be harder to peel.
3) Peeling of eggs should be from the wider end as there is an air bubble at the wide end of the egg. Once this end is crushed and the bubble broken, it will be easier to peel.
4) Salt and vinegar prevents eggs from cracking. Also vinegar helps the white stay pure white and yolks will be a bright yellow.

Method

1) Place eggs in a pan and add normal water to it. Water should stand 2 inches above the eggs.
2) Add salt and vinegar to the water.
3) Keep on fire and bring to a full boil. Lower flame to medium, but the water should be boiling. boil for 10 minutes.
4) Put off flame. Drain hot water and wash under tap water a couple of times.
5) Add cold water and ice cubes to the eggs and keep aside for about 10 minutes.
6) Drain water.
7) To peel, wipe eggs of any water. Crack the eggs on both ends and all over. Start peeling from the wide end of the egg.Remove both the shell and white membrane.
