1 dozen large eggs
Water to cover
Pinch salt

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water!. Season with a pinch of salt!. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil!. Cook for 2 minutes!. Remove from heat and cover with a lid!. Allow the eggs to sit for 11 minutes!. Drain and cool the eggs for 2 minutes in ice water!. Drain and peel the eggs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you are trying to keep them from cooking longer put them in cold water 5 to 7 minutes but if you add ice to the water before adding the eggs that will help to shorten the time they cool!. basicly if cool to touch you are probally safe for most recipes unless mabye!? unless you are not using them now and then you need to refrigerate them till needed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Use Ice Water!. Several baths in a new bowl full each time!. Then let them sit on the kitchen counter on a dish towel for a half hour!. Then refrigerate!.

Peeling them after cooking and cooling is best though as the shells remove easier due to the moisture content inside!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

eggs need to boil for at least 25 mins you will know when they are done one will crack on the shell then you need to run cold water in the pan and when the have cooled for some time then you can peel themWww@FoodAQ@Com

really, all you need to do now is crack and peel!. And you have done it right( they dont have to cool off that much, run under cold water for a min or two)

Let the cold water run over the eggs until they are cool to the touch!. Then keep them in the fridge until ready to use!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
