This guide outlines a fail-safe approach to boiling and peeling eggs to ensure perfect results every time.

Ingredients:

• Fresh eggs (as many as needed)
• Water
• Ice

Instructions:

Boiling the Eggs:

1. Arrange the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a pot.
2. Pour in enough cold water to cover the eggs by at least an inch.
3. Heat the water on high until it reaches a rapid boil.
4. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat.
5. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 12 minutes (adjust timing slightly for different egg sizes).

Cooling and Peeling:

1. Prepare a bowl filled with ice water.
2. Transfer the cooked eggs immediately into the ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
3. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel starting from the wider end, where an air pocket is usually located.
4. Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any remaining shell fragments.
