Eggs - hard boiled

Place eggs in cold water, add 15 - 30 ml plain white vinegar (it will help the shell peel off). Eggs will come away from the shell easier if they are older, not as fresh.  The older an egg gets the larger the air cell becomes.  When you crack the cool, boiled egg, begin at the rounded, air cell end.

Turn the pot with cold water, vinegar and eggs onto high.  As soon as the water boils, take the pan off the heat and let the eggs sit for 15 mins.  Get an ice bath ready.

After the sitting time, place the eggs (without the water) into the ice bath.  Cool egg completely before trying to peel.  Store in the fridge for future use OR slice for salads, sandwiches or in half for devilled eggs.

You do not need an egg slicer, I only use it for salads.  Cutting the egg in a wedge works well.
Egg for my spinach salad!
