Instructions (16 steps)

01Gently lay your eggs in a sauce pan that has a lid.
02Try to fill the pan with enough eggs so there is minimal movement while boiling.
03Cover with cold water.
04Put the lid on and heat on high.
05Watch closely and when it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low/medium and crack the lid.
06Boil for exactly 10 minutes. The water should be boiling constantly but not hard enough to overflow.
07Remove from heat and empty as much boiling water as you can into your sink.
08Set the pot down and stream very cold water so the pan overflows.
09

Let the water stream for about a minute. Turn the water off.

10Immediately add ice cubes to the pan of cold water and eggs.

11Use as many ice cubes as you can fit.

12Gently push each egg into the bottom of the pan to crack the shell. This will let a little water in and aids the peeling process.

13Let sit for another minute. FOR FARM FRESH EGGS: LET SIT FOR 10 MINUTES.

14Start removing the eggs one at a time and peel them immediately.

15THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. DO NOT WAIT TO PEEL YOUR EGGS!

16Eggs can be stored in an air-tight container in refrigerator for 3 - 5 days.
