Ingredients

Instructions

  • First get a large sauce pan with a tight-fitting lid
  • Put desired eggs in the saucepan.
  • Fill the saucepan with room temp water about 1 inch above egg.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar. You may also substitute for white vinegar.
  • Cover saucepan and turn on high
  • Bring to a boil (covered) and boil for 1 minute.
  • Completely remove from heat for 1 minute (Leave you burner on high and place saucepan off to the side).
  • Add the saucepan back to heat and boil for 1 minute.
  • Turn the heat down to simmer and simmer for 10 minutes. Still don't remove lid.
  • After 10 minutes remove the saucepan from the burner and drain off the water.
  • Put cold water and ice in the saucepan
  • I tend to put 3-4 cups of ice, just enough to cool the water down so the ice isn't completely melted
  • After about 10 minutes, remove the eggs from the ice bath and start shucking, and shuck them all immediately or they will be full of craters.
