Finally able to peel eggs again

I’m finally back to peeling eggs with ease!

For decades, I’ve been making hard-boiled eggs the same way: gently lowering them into boiling water, simmering for 13-14 minutes, and then finishing with an ice bath. They always turned out perfectly and were easy to peel.

However, after moving last year, I swapped my reliable gas stove for an electric range. I stuck to my tried-and-true method, but suddenly the eggs were impossible to peel. I experimented with different boiling techniques, but nothing worked. It was incredibly frustrating since I boil 10 eggs every week!

Yesterday, I finally decided to ask a chatbot for some advice. It confidently suggested steaming the eggs instead. Here’s the method it recommended:

• Boil an inch of water in a pot
• Place the eggs in a steamer basket
• Cover and steam for 13 minutes
• Finish with an ice bath

I gave it a shot, and to my surprise, those eggs peeled like a dream! Every single one was a breeze to remove. Plus, the process was quicker since the water boiled so much faster.

Looks like this old dog has learned a new trick!
