    The most important factors if cooking boiled eggs is a final product that is perfectly cooked AND easy to peel. Follow these steps, and you will never go back to your old way of cooking boiled eggs:

    • Put eggs in a saucepan and cover with COLD water. Heat on the stove top using high heat and heat until water boils.
    • As soon as the water comes to a boil, remove from heat, cover pan and let eggs sit in the pan for 12 minutes.
    • Drain water and serve if enjoying warm eggs, otherwise cover eggs in a bowl with ice cubes and water. Let cool completely and refrigerate in not using immediately. Eggs will be very easy to peel.
