putting baking soda in water to boil eggs
Place your eggs in the pot, add a teaspoon of baking soda, and turn the heat to medium-high. Now here's the fun part: you get to watch water (almost) boil. While you're waiting, prep an ice bath that's deep enough to cover the eggs. cracked egg is a sad hard-boiled egg: usually the egg white leaks out and makes the whole shebang harder to peel properly once it's done. You can warm eggs in two ways: take the eggs out of your fridge and let them sit until they're at room temperature, or put them in hot tap water for up to five minutes.
