Boiled eggs

My method is lower into fully boiling water which has been salted (2-3 Tbsp) and boil 10 min, then drain and drop into a bowl of ice water, which is large enough and iced well enough that there is still ice 5 minutes later. From reading here I doubt the salt matters much, that it is the ice shock that makes it work. In the FAQ forum you will find links to 2 or 3 threads where people talk about the various methods that work for them.

 

I have found the only way to get the shells off easily is to let my eggs age on the counter for 3-5 days. If the eggs are too fresh no matter what you do the shells will stick.

Good luck.
