Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

"

I cover mine in water and turn on the heat. I don't cover the pot while they come to a boil. When the water comes to a full boil, I let it boil 1.5 minutes, then shut the burner off, put the lid on the pot and let them sit there for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes I put them in ice water if I have enough ice on hand otherwise I just put them in cold water for however long it takes for them to be cool enough to handle. The shells peel right off.

If all else fails, you can dump a lot of salt in the water they boil in and they peel off easy that way too."
