List of Ingredients

* When hard boiling eggs, put a few onion skins (just those loose papery ones that fall off anyway) in with the water, then cook as usual. The eggs will turn a light brown color and you will be able to tell them from the raw ones in the refrigerator, if you don't intend to use them right away.

* Quick Peel Eggs
When making hard-boiled eggs, add a teaspoon of vinegar, lemon juice or a small piece of lemon to the water. The eggshells will peel off in a flash.

* Bringing eggs to room temperature before (hard or soft) boiling makes them less likely to crack while cooking.

* Cool the water you boil eggs in and use to water plants. The water is calcium rich.
