How to Boil Eggs For Egg Salad
- Place the eggs in a pot in a single layer, and fill the pot with enough cold water so that it covers the eggs by about 3cm. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the water. This is the best trick for helping the eggs to peel really easily. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Carefully pour out the hot water; place the pan in the sink and run cold water over the eggs. Drain and refill with cold water; let stand until the eggs are room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Gently crack the eggs all over and peel under running water. Then dry the eggs and chop into small bite-sized pieces.
