The Secret to Boiled Eggs That Are Easy to Peel

Wait until the water is boiling BEFORE putting the eggs in. If you put the eggs in first, when the water is cold, and then heat up and boil the water and eggs together, the shell will be a lot harder to separate from the egg. You want the water boilding hot BEFORE you add the eggs. Once the water starts boiling, use a metal spoon to lower each egg gently into the pot, so the egg doesn't crack.
