Foolproof Hard-boiled Eggs w/easy peel:
Place eggs in saucepan large enough to hold them in one layer. Fill with cold water cover by 1 inch. Bring to a gentle boil over high heat. Cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and cover tightly. Let stand 15 minutes.
TO PEEL NOW: Pour out water and replace with cold, add ice cubes, let water get cold, then drain water, put cover back on and shake pan well. Open cover and eggs will have mostly peeled themselves!
TO PEEL LATER: Pour out water and put pan in sink, let cold water run over them about 3 minutes.
