Never Boil Eggs in Water Again! 🥚 Use This Simple Trick to Peel Them Perfectly Every Time

Struggling with hard-boiled eggs that won’t peel cleanly? Tired of losing half the egg white with the shell? Here’s a kitchen trick that doesn’t involve boiling eggs in water—and gives you perfectly peelable eggs every time. No more frustration, just smooth, easy results!

🔥 The Secret? Steam, Don’t Boil!

Instead of boiling eggs in a pot of water, steam them! Steaming loosens the shell membrane, making the eggs much easier to peel—especially with fresh eggs, which are usually the hardest.

🧺 How to Steam Eggs for Easy Peeling

What You Need:

• A steamer basket (or colander that fits in a pot)
• A pot with a lid
• Eggs (any number)
• Cold water or ice bath

Instructions:

1. Add 1 inch of water to a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Place the eggs in a steamer basket above the boiling water.
3. Cover with a lid and steam for:
   • 12 minutes for hard-boiled
   • 8–9 minutes for medium
   • 6–7 minutes for soft-boiled
4. When time is up, transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water (or very cold water).
5. Let cool for at least 5–10 minutes.
6. Crack and peel—you’ll be amazed how the shell just slides off!
