Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Keep them unpeeled until ready to use for maximum freshness.
Use them for salads, sandwiches, or quick snacks.
Variations:
Steam the eggs instead of boiling for even easier peeling.
Add salt to the boiling water for extra help in loosening shells.
FAQ:
Q: Why does baking soda help with peeling?
A: Baking soda raises the pH level of the egg white, which weakens the bond between the egg and its shell, making it easier to peel.
Q: Do fresh eggs peel easily?
A: No, fresher eggs are harder to peel. Eggs that are a week old usually peel more easily.
