Use this recipe for perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs. By adding a little vinegar and salt, the eggshell peels off so easily without tearing or sticking. I have been making them this way for years!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 0.25 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 6 cups water
  • 8 large eggs

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Combine salt, vinegar, and water in a large pot, and bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 3

    Add eggs one at a time, being careful not to crack them. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil, and cook for 14 minutes.

  4. 4

    Once eggs have cooked, remove them from the hot water, and place into a container of ice water or cold, running water. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

  5. 5

    Enjoy!
