Kitchen Hint of the Day!
December 26, 2020 at 6:00 AM | Posted in Kitchen Hints | Leave a commentTags: baking, Baking Soda, Cooking, Cooking Tips, Eggs, Food, Hard-Boiled Eggs, Kitchen Hints, recipes
What to add to boiled eggs to make them peel easier………..
Add a little baking soda (about 1/2 teaspoon or a little less) to the water while boiling. This will make it easier to peel the eggs later on. Once the eggs are done cooking, give them a little crack and plunge them in an ice water bath. Only do this if you’re going to peel them right away. Enjoy those Eggs!
