Step 1

Add eggs in a single layer to the bottom of a large pot.

Step 2

Fill pot with COLD water until there is about 1" - 2" of water above the eggs. Add salt and baking soda. Bring water to a boil. Once water is boiling, reduce heat to medium and boil for about 1 minute. Cover pot and remove from heat. Let sit, covered, for another 10 minutes.

Step 3

Strain water from pot and put eggs in an ice-water bath until the eggs are cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Lightly crack the shell of the eggs and peel.
