FAQ

How do you boil eggs on TikTok?

Bring your eggs to room temperature before placing the eggs in a large pot of cold water. This will prevent the shells from cracking while they boil.

Bring the water to a rolling boil before reducing to medium-low heat and cooking for 8-10 minutes.

What’s the trick to boiling hard-boiled eggs?

The trick is adding the eggs to a bowl of ice water before placing them on a paper towel. Cold eggs are much easier to peel since cold separates the eggs from the shell.

How do you hard boil eggs so the shell comes off easily?

The best way to peel boiled eggs is by filling a bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Make sure there is enough water to cover the eggs. As soon as you take the hard-boil eggs off the stove, place them in the ice bath with a slotted spoon for 3 minutes to allow the eggs to separate from the shell. This will make peeling much easier!

From there, tap the top of the egg gently to release any air bubbles. Roll them on the kitchen surface and then peel.

What to do when hard boiled eggs stick to shells?

If you’ve already started peeling your eggs and they keep sticking to the shells, try running them under cold water. This will allow the eggs to separate from the shell.

What seasoning is good on boiled eggs?

There are lots of great combinations of seasonings to add to boiled eggs. You can add Kosher salt, black pepper, red chili flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, cajun seasoning, or any other favorite.
