Notes: I have always had a difficult time finding a method to hard boil eggs so that they peel easily. Here is what I found.
1. Bring the water to a boil. (enough to completely cover the eggs) 2. Use silicone tongs to place the eggs gently into the boiling water. 3. Boil the eggs exactly 15 minutes 4. Remove the eggs with the tongs and place them on a plate with paper towels. 5. Let the eggs sit for exactly 15 minutes 6. Crack the eggs open and peel.
Most of the eggs come out perfect. I still had a couple that were not so perfect. If you find something that works better, please share it with me!!
