What? I just realized I’ve been doing it all wrong. When I make hard boiled eggs I boil the egg in water for 10 minutes, let the cooked eggs sit in the water for 10 minutes and drain.

Thankfully, I learned how to cook a perfect hard boiled egg. Take a look!
How to cook a perfect hard boiled egg
I just saw this video from Eggland’s Best, How to Perfectly Hard Cook an EB Egg. She shows you how to cook a perfect hard boiled egg. I didn’t realize fresh eggs were harder to boil. Interesting…

What do you think? Have you tried this method for easier egg peeling? Do you have another great way to make the perfect hard boiled egg?
