Fill the saucepan ¾ full and bring it to a boil. Once it has boiled, lower the heat and bring it down to a gentle rolling simmer.
Using a large slotted spoon, gently add your eggs into the saucepan one by one.
Simmer the eggs for 6 to 7 minutes.
Once done, quickly remove the eggs from the water and dunk them into the ice water.
Let the eggs cool for at least 2 minutes before peeling.
- Make sure your eggs aren’t straight from the fridge and that they’ve warmed up closer to room temperature.
- Older eggs peel easier than freshly purchased eggs.
