Chef’s notes
*Eggs may vary based on size, type, and freshness. Farm-fresh eggs are more difficult to peel than older eggs.
Buy the eggs in advance. If you want to make perfect hard boiled eggs, it pays to buy them in advance and cook them after a few days in the fridge.
Store the eggs upside down to ensure the yolks land right in the center.
Don’t skip the ice bath! It stops the cooking process and makes the eggs easy to peel.
