Ingredients

  • 1 dozen large eggs
  • water to cover

Instructions

  • Place the eggs in a single layer into a large pot and cover the eggs with water. Make sure that the eggs are just covered.
  • Place the eggs on the stove and bring to a boil.
  • Once the water is boiling, turn off the burner and set the timer for 18 minutes.
  • When the timer goes off submerge the eggs into an ice bath and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the eggs from the ice bath and peel.

Notes

A quick tip for peeling eggs is to peel them under running water. The water will help slip the shells right off the egg.
