Peeling hard boiled eggs can sometimes be a real pain. Sure, sometimes it goes just fine, but other times, the whites start peeling off with the shell. Augh!
Plus, I felt bad when I would let cold water run on the eggs after letting them boil for a minute or two.
Well…now my Mom came to the rescue on both of those egg problems!
After I removed the egg from the stove (after having had the lid on them for 20 minutes), I moved them over to the sink and filled the pan with cold water just to the top (after having dumped out the hot water).
Then…here’s the important part…
I put a bunch of ice in the water as well! No more running cold water over the eggs. I just occasionally added more ice, as my ice melted. Not only did it save water, but it also made the eggs SO easy to peel!
And, then as an added green bonus, I waited until the pan of water was no longer freezing cold, took it outside, and emptied it on one of our trees.
