Recipe for guaranteed perfect hard boiled eggs?

Put eggs in cold water on stove. Bring to boil. As soon as the water is boiling turn it off, and let the water and eggs cool until the water is luke warm.

Works at every elevation. No timer needed, ever.


The problem I have found with this method is that it makes eggs harder to peel vs starting them in boiling water (14 min). Both get the cold water bath immediately afterwards. One started in hot water peel cleaner.


THIS! Used to do method one, fought the peel constantly. Switched to hot start for 14 minutes, egg perfection!!!
