hey dudes I'm Hilah and today on Hilah
cooking we're going back to life back to
the basics and I'm going to show you a
new technique for easy to peel
hard-boiled eggs I've done it the same
way my whole life but I just recently
found this new way and it's
revolutionary and I'm really happy to
share it with you because every time
I've done it it's worked perfectly and
it's really simple and hard-boiled eggs
so the thing that makes this method for
hard boiling eggs different is it's
called a hot start method so I've got
some water here coming to a hard boil
I've got my eggs it's about an inch and
a half to two inches of water you want
enough to cover the eggs obviously so
we're going to lower the eggs into the
boiling water a little slotted spoon let
them let the water boil for 30 seconds
and then turn it down to like the lowest
simmer that you can get it if you want
to check the temperature the temperature
of the water should be like around 190
or so like something like that and set
the timer for 11 minutes for hard-boiled
then when the timer goes off you can use
your slotted spoon to lift them out and
we're going to put them directly into an
ice bath this is just a bowl of water
with some ice in it and let them chill
for 15 minutes and that shocking them in
that cold water it's going to make them
easier to peel and also help prevent a
little bubble from forming at the unit
at the fat end once they're totally cool
you can either put them in the fridge
like this and just keep them forever or
you can peel them right away
okay our eggs are completely cooled now
and ready to peel so like I said you
could put them in the fridge like this
and keep them for snacks or a quick
breakfast or something during the week
or peel a meal so just gently all around
and then I like to start at the fat end
and if you can get under the membrane a
little bit that's going to make it a lot
easier to well yeah that starting em in
boiling water is the trick and I've
tried the baking soda and vinegar and
all that and this is not the only
one that's consistently reliable for
easy peeling there we go
and some people will tell you to rinse
them under running like to peel them
under running water but I kinda feel
like that's a waste of water so I just
rinse it off to get any little shell
bits in there and then there we go
perfectly peeled egg and don't throw
away this water once that water is
cooled off you can or you can just
combine them you can use that water to
boil more eggs you can put it
your dog's water bowl you can put on a
potted plant but it's pretty much
perfectly good water so let's cut one of
these open and see what it looks like
yeah perfectly cooked so they're called
boiled eggs but that's kind of a
misnomer because you don't ever actually
want to like boil the eggs for an
accident period of time because you're
going to end up with hard and kind of
rubbery whites and then you'll also end
up with that green ring sometimes around
the yolk so the quick boil to set it and
then the longer simmer to commit click
it through and there we have a perfect
hard-boiled egg that was super easy to
peel so check out my other video if you
want to see another method but this is
really the one that I recommend now so I
hope you learned something and I'll see
you guys later bye
