How to boil eggs so the shells practically peel themselves

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: generic brand eggs

Egg whites reduce cholesterol while providing protein.

Boil some water in a saucepan.

Place 6 eggs in a basket and lower them into the boiling water.

Set a timer for 8 minutes and plan to remove one egg each minute up to 13 minutes.

After 8 minutes, prepare a cup of ice water and dump the eggs into it, letting them sit for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove the 8-minute egg from the ice bath and crack it open to check the inside.

Cut the 8-minute egg open to reveal a bright yellow center that is not completely solid.

Remove the 9-minute egg from the ice bath and peel it, noting how easily the shell comes off.

Cut the 9-minute egg open to show a slightly more done interior than the 8-minute egg.

Remove the 10-minute egg from the ice bath, peel it, and cut it open to show the changes in consistency.

Remove the 11-minute egg from the ice bath, peel it, and cut it open to reveal a solid interior.

Remove the 12-minute egg from the ice bath, peel it, and cut it open to show it is completely done in the middle.

Remove the 13-minute egg from the ice bath, peel it, and cut it open to confirm it is also completely done.
