Anybody have any tips on boilin them? Any tips on peeling them? The peeling is really starting to piss me off. :banghead:

I boil for 30 minutes. Is this too long? I was told to put salt in the water and this helps to keep them from cracking.

I was told just to boil them for 6 minutes. Don't start the timer until the water is actually boiling though. 30 minutes is way to long. Once the timer goes off you just runn cold water over the pot with the eggs in it. Should be good to go. I like to peel them under the faucet running cold water over the egg while you peel.

Run the eggs under cold water individually btw, pouring cold water into a burning hot pot may warp it.

Man that boil time makes a world of difference. Boiled another dozen last night. With salt. 15 minutes. Ran them under cool water afterwards. Much better texture as well. Thanks yall!

you can even boil your egg less than 15 mins. 30 minutes is too long!
