Instructions (9 steps)

01Place your raw eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with at least 2 inches of cold water.
02Add 1 tablespoon of salt.
03Place the pan over high heat until it reaches a boil.
04Turn off heat, cover and let it sit for 13 minutes.
05After exactly 13 minutes, remove the eggs from the pan and place them in an ice-water bath and let them cool for five minutes.
06Carefully crack the eggs shells (making sure the majority of the shell is cracked).
07Gently begin removing the shells. The ice-water bath will "shock" the membrane in between the egg-white and the egg shell, loosening the shell and allowing you to peel it off in nearly one piece.
