Hard boiled egg question

[jennh]

I lower room temp eggs SLOWLY into boiling water, and bring back to a boil. Take off the stove , cover, and let sit for 17 min. (Turn occasionally for deviled eggs to center yolk). Pour off hot water, and keep covering with ice cold water until the eggs are cold. Works every time!
BTW, I had posted a recipe for my famous deviled eggs

That's the method I use and same day laid eggs did not peel nice.

jojo54 did you use ice water.Simply running under cold tap water will not allow the egg to shrink enough inside the shell? I have used this method many times on day old eggs and have excellent results. They all peel with ease.

Yes I used ice water and it works except for same day laid eggs.
