How do you boil the perfect egg

Question

So that the shell comes off nicely for deviled eggs.

My shells seem to stick. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Put them in cold water and bring to a boil, I cook mine for 6 or 7 minutes, take out of the water and rinse immediately with ice cold water, that separates the skin from the egg.

Answer 2

In a pot cover with cold water, BOIL for 8 minutes.  Take off the stove an run cold water over the eggs.  I like to peel them under the running water.   Also, if you want to make certain that the yolk is centered in the white, turn them over in the egg carton the night before. This works good for deviled eggs

Answer 3

cover with water

bring to boil and boil for 10 min
