I’ve recently adopted the idea of finding healthy snacking swaps and one of it is snacking on hard boiled eggs since a whole egg contains all the nutrients required to turn a single cell into a baby chicken.
Typically, a single large boiled egg contains:
- Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA
- Folate: 5% of the RDA
- Vitamin B5: 7% of the RDA
- Vitamin B12: 9% of the RDA
- Vitamin B2: 15% of the RDA
- Phosphorus: 9% of the RDA
- Selenium: 22% of the RDA
- Eggs also contain decent amounts of vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B6, calcium and zinc.
This comes with 77 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats.

I discovered a no-fail method to make perfect hard boiled eggs that you should try – instead of boiling the eggs, steam the eggs!!!
My sister gave me this 3 Tiers Electric Heater Lunch Box Food Warmer Container when my first born was ready for solid food, it’s perfect to heat food, steam eggs etc and its ideal for busy moms who wants to eat home cooked food. I’ve been using it to make hard boiled eggs since, though you don’t necessary need the same lunchbox food warmer container, the concept is to steam the eggs instead of boiling them.
You will need at least 100 to 150 ml water to steam total of 12 eggs. Pour it into base compartment.
Fill the stainless steel container with eggs.
Power it on. It will heat up the water and the steam will then cook the eggs.
Light goes off when all water evaporates.
All eggs should be cooked.
Remove the entire container out from the base.
Here’s another hack to peel your egg shell easily: soak all eggs in cold water for about a minute or two while it’s still hot.
Crush the egg shell thoroughly.
Peel the egg shell.
Make sure the storing container is absolutely dry
Store the peeled hard boiled egg in your refrigerator.
