Mastering the Hard-Boiled Egg

I finally did it! I've mastered the hard-boiled egg. Rich and I have the long-standing obsession with getting this perfect. I gave up until now!

The key to perfectly peel-able eggs is:

SALT

• Eggs
• Deep Pot
• Cold Water
• 1/4-1/2 Cup Salt
• large bowl of ice water

Place eggs in the deep pot and fill to about 1 inch above the eggs with water. Add the salt - you may need less/more depending on how much water you have.

Place on stove on high UNCOVERED until a rapid boil. Turn off heat and cover. Cook for 11 minutes.

While the eggs are cooking, prepare your bowl of ice water. When eggs are done cooking, place the eggs in the icewater for a few minutes.

Remove from ice and peel!
