There are two methods that I have found work really well for boiled eggs. I always suggest using an egg cooker first as it has never failed to leave me with perfect boiled eggs that are easily peel-able. If you do not have an egg cooker, you can boil the eggs in a saucepan for 3 minutes, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let it sit for 12 minutes. Whichever method you use, always end with a plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
