so, i eat a lot of eggs. on weight watchers, they're one of the foods that charlie and i eat a lot of that fills you up and gives you lots of protein and isn't a total point killer. we've actually started buying eggs in 5 dozen boxes.
so anyways, i usually make an omelet or something, but i like hard boiled eggs. but i CAN'T FREAKING PEEL THEM TO SAVE MY LIFE.
my mom told me how to make them, and i never thought there was another way. she said to put them in water, bring it to a boil, shut off the heat and let them sit for 20 minutes.
i'm sure i missed the step about taking them out and the ice bath thing, and that's why i can't get them out of the shell without mangling them.
so i mentioned this problem of mine at work and was made fun of soundly. they told me they drop eggs into boiling water and continue to boil them for 7 minutes then do the ice bath.
i figured i'd burn myself since i don't have a slotted spoon, so i googled ways to make them and settled on bypassing boiling all together and baked them.
stuck them in a muffin tin at 325 for 28 minutes, 5 minutes to sit, now in an ice bath.
and... i just peeled the best hard boiled egg ever! it was amazing! the shell came right off! and so i did a second, and i totally screwed it up. i need one of those eggie things on the infomercials...
