Step 1: Boil a pot of water to a full boil, it should take about 8-9 minutes

Step 2: Use a spoon to put the eggs in one at a time, but hover each one just above the water for about 5 seconds before gently putting it in. This prevents the shells from cracking due to shock of the hot water.

Step 3: Set a timer for 8:30-9:00

Step 4: While the eggs are cooking, get a bowl filed with ice water

Step 5: When timer goes off, put the eggs but not the hot water in the ice water. Let them sit for about 45 seconds. This step will make sure the egg shells peel off of the egg without sticking

Step 6: Remove the eggs from the ice water. I like to do this before they cool down much, so they are still warm when I eat them.

I've looked at dozens of articles online that don't work. This combines two methods and adds some improvements. If you put the eggs in and then bring the water to a boil the shells stick when you try to peel them. If you don't hover the egg over the hot water for a few seconds some eggs will crack and raw egg fills the water. If you don't put the eggs in ice water they will be tough to peel. I like to eat boiled eggs with salt and pepper and I put mustard on the side of the plate to dip them in, tastes like a deviled egg.
