Perfect Egg Tips
- Always use a timer for consistent results.
- Add eggs to gently boiling water to prevent cracking.
- For easy peeling, plunge eggs into ice water immediately after boiling.
- Older eggs (7-10 days old) are easier to peel than very fresh eggs.
- Peel eggs under running water for best results.
