Notes
- For best results, remove eggs from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
- Peel eggs while still warm for easier peeling by holding under running water to help loosen the shell.
- Use older (not expired) eggs for hard-boiled eggs. Fresher eggs may not be as easier to peel.
