I watched a Easter special with Emeril Lagasse and was super surprised on how to cook the perfect boiled egg. Its been fool proof for me now. I remember the number 13, boil 2 mins, remove from heat and cover for 11 min, cool in cold ice water, Perfect eggs every time!

Happy Easter!

    I found something similar a couple of days ago and it's great how amazing the eggs turn out and how great they taste. I turn it off when I notice the boiling and leave them covered for 12 minutes.

    By perfect, does that mean no shells impossibly stuck to the egg white making it so difficult to peel? Thanks for the formula! :flowerforyou:

    I use this method but I still get tough peelers unless the eggs are *just* before expiration. Older eggs peel better, IME.

    If your Emeril, the shells won't be difficult, however you usually experience a bad egg to every batch lol
