Often times the best hard boiled eggs result from older eggs, not fresher.
bec. the air sac at one end of the egg gets larger as the egg gets older.
Put your eggs (cold, straight from the fridge) in a pot and fill with cold water from the tap.
Bring to a boil uncovered, then turn the flame off. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Peel + enjoy.
Or bring pot with eggs to boil.
Take off heat, COVER pot and let sit 17 minutes.
Plunge eggs into icy water and peel.
This will give you lovely bright yellow yolks, every time.
I boil water (tap), add my eggs, put on the lid, take off of heat, then let sit for 15 minutes. Never a problem, and as I said, peeling is easiest with the older ones...
