Answers:
Place eggs in pot!. Cover with cold water!. Bring to boil!. Remove from heat!. Cover with lid and let stand for 20 minutes!. Immediately, run cold water over the eggs to chill them completely!.

If you don't run the cold water over to cool them completely, the membrane will not separate from the egg and they don't peel well!. I suspect that's the step you're missing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If it is from room temperature 5 minutes, if it is from the fridge 8 minutes!. After you are done cooking, get a bowl, get a laddle or something to get to egg out into the bowl, then pour cold water into the bowl!. Then you can peel the shells of with the cold water still inthe bowl!. Get another bowl, put the egg into the new bowl and now you can eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is what I do for perfect eggs every time:

Bring a pot of cold water to a boil!. Once boiling, place the eggs in gently and boil uncovered for exactly 11 minutes!. Then place the eggs in a colander under cold running water to cool them down for a few minutes, then peel under the cold running water!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

no fail, no rubbery white, no green rings, perfect eggs every time!.!.!.!.

place eggs in a single layer in pot!. cover with COLD water!. bring just to a boil!. immediately cover pot and take off heat!. let sit for 13 - 15 minutes!. remove from water and place in ice water to stop cooking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
