  • 🥄 Pro Tips for Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

    • Use older eggs: Fresh eggs are harder to peel. If possible, use eggs that are 7–10 days old.
    • Crack before chilling: For even easier peeling, gently crack the shell before dropping the eggs into the ice bath.
    • Peel under water: Running water or a bowl of water helps separate the shell from the egg white.
    • Store smart: Unpeeled hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Peeled eggs should be eaten within 2–3 days for best freshness.

    • Snack on the go with a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper

    Final Thoughts

    Timing truly is everything when it comes to hard-boiled eggs. Whether you like a jammy yolk or a firm, golden center, a few minutes can make all the difference. Stick to the method, use that timer, and you’ll never deal with gray yolks or stubborn shells again. Happy boiling! 🥚✨
