My yolks were undercooked, but that may be because of our high elevation. If you live at high elevation, you will need to let the eggs cook a few more minutes or let them stand in the hot water longer.

I found the video helpful. When I crack my eggs I crush the ends first. It seems to help

I have used this recipe for years works great. I add a little salt to the water just in case an egg cracks, this prevents it from running all over in the water. Drain and add the cold water, works great.

If you look below at my review, I didn't add that you roll/break the shells UNDER the cool water in the pan and then peel under the water, also. It really works! :-)
This was very helpful, but my grandmother would boil the eggs and then after they have cooled in cold water, she would actually roll/break the shells UNDER the cool water and keep the egg under the water while peeling the shell off. I find that the shells come off effortlessly this way. Just an old Yankee way of doing things! I love the Taste of Home, Country Living and your website! Thanks from Up He'Ya in Maine! DarlaSue

I wonder how grandma used to do her eggs, or learn how too?? Probably she asked questions. Asking how to use the site seems a bit more courteous. But that might be stretching simple reasoning too far.

I had finding video also & it was security settings on my firewall. As a first time visitor to sight I was stunned to see donna63 head up butt comment & perhaps as bad was the reply from bickey. How crude & how rude. I feel sad for you both. Not sure I want to visit this site again.

Hard-cooked eggs peel easily under running cold water if they are started in boiling water (no they will not crack even straight from the refrigerator). Boil 5 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. (Longer cooking results in yolks with green edges.) Chill in ice water.

OH and I add a spoonful of ground horseradish to my mayo, little dill pickle juice, salt/pepper to my mashed yolks (Pampered Chef Mix n Mash, makes it quick & easy!) for the best filling! YUM >:0)
