on 1/25/2009 How do you keep the shell from sticking to the white when you peel them? There has to be some trick to this.

on 1/24/2009 YOU CAN BRING WATER TO A BOIL FIRST AND LOWER EGGS IN or PLACE EGGS IN COLD WATER AND BRING TO A BOIL. Lower heat then cook for 10 minutes or take off heat for 15 minutes.
SETTING THE EGGS
If you put the boiled eggs in cold water with lots of ICE immediately, they will peel a bit easier and the membrane will separate from the egg shell and you will have a perfect egg
Also don't over cook your hardboiled eggs or a green ring will appear around the yellow - perfectly safe to eat but ugly when serving or making Deviled eggs!
We call them ANGEL EGGS in our house.
