Answers:
Fill pan with cold water, add eggs, turn burner to high heat!. When water boils, let boil 1 minute, turn heat off, cover pan and let rest 12 minutes!. Eggs will be perfect!. When you boil eggs rapidly in boiling water they tend to be chewy and taste of bit like sulfur!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Don't use real fresh eggs, as they'll be hard to peel!. Use some that are several days old!.
1!. Place eggs in a saucepan with enough COLD tap water to cover completely by 1 inch!. Bring to a ROLLING boil over HIGH heat!. Once the water is brought to a rolling boil, PROMPTLY reduce heat to a lower medium boil and cook an additional 10 minutes for a “hard boiled” egg!. For a “soft boiled” egg reduce the time by a few minutes!.
2!. Remove from heat and IMMEDIATELY place eggs under ICE cold water or in a bowl of ICED water to chill promptly to help yolks stay bright yellow!. Chill for a few minutes in the cold water until the egg is completely cooled!. This is an extremely important step which prevents the greenish “ring” from forming on the surface of the yolk over time!. If the egg is not chilled immediately after cooking an unsightly dark greenish ring will eventually appear on the outside of the yolk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I just read this today in one of my email recipes for egg salad recipe!
It said to put 3 tablespoons of vinegar in your water in the pan before you BOIL the eggs! And then put the eggs!. Let water come to a boil and then simmer for 15-20 minutes!. Then run them under cold water and the egg will peel perfect and won't crack!. You can add salt to water too!. I do mine uncovered!Www@FoodAQ@Com
