To guarantee perfect, easy to peel hard-boiled eggs every time, this is the only recipe you'll ever need. No bells and whistles required. No time to boil your own fresh organic eggs at home? Try our grab-and-go solution: pre-cooked organic hard-boiled eggs, available at a store near you. By: Family Farm Team Ingredients 6-12 large Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs Medium pot (for 6 eggs) or large pot (for 12 eggs) Large bowl (for ice bath) Slotted spoon, optional Directions Step 1 Fill a medium or large pot with enough water to cover eggs by at least 2 inches, but do not add eggs yet. Bring water to a rolling boil. Step 2 Once water is boiling, add the eggs and adjust the temperature to maintain a rolling boil. Start a timer for 12 minutes and prepare an ice bath. Step 3 When the timer goes off, remove eggs from the pot and immediately place into ice bath for at least 10 minutes before peeling. Farm Team Tips: Use cold eggs straight from the fridge, and opt for eggs that are closer to their expiration date, if you have them. In general, the older the egg, the easier it is to peel. Use a pot big enough for the eggs to remain in a single layer whenever possible. Leave eggs in the ice bath for at least 10 minutes to allow for more thorough cooling and easy peeling. You can place them under running cold water instead, but without the cold shock from the ice bath, you may find them harder to peel—especially if the eggs are farm fresh like ours. This recipe was developed for large eggs, so you may need to adjust the cook time a minute or two if using eggs of a different size.

Giulia January 31, 2021 I know I did something wrong but the gags cracked the moment I put them in the water so they didn’t turn out very well. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] February 01, 2021 Oh no! We're so sorry to hear about this Giulia. Is it possible you may have had some eggs with thinner shells? Sometimes as our hens age, their eggshells become thinner, which does make them a little more prone to cracking prematurely.
