Delicious to know

Before boiling the eggs, allow the water to come to a bubbling boil, but turn down the heat before you add the eggs so that the eggs do not “dance” inside the pan, which can cause them to break. You may find it easier to peel the shells off the eggs while they are still immersed in the iced water. It’s important to make sure that the eggs have cooled completely so that they will peel easily.
