I’ve spent my whole married life trying to figure out how to boil the perfect egg. I’ve googled it and have tried countless tutorials. Most turn out okay but almost always it’s not a consistent thing. Sometimes the eggs will not be cooked all the way or they have that nasty gray ring around it. 
Gross!
Well, a month or so ago I asked my dad how he does it (he’s quite the handy man in the kitchen). He told me what he did, and that is what I’ve done the last 4 or 5 times I’ve cooked eggs, and so far, they’ve ALWAYS turned out PERFECT!! I couldn’t be more happy, and today I want to share with you my dad’s egg cooking tips too!! With Easter just around the corner I know my little family will be boiling lots of eggs and you may be too so this tutorial may just help. 
HOW TO BOIL THE PERFECT EGG:
1. Place your eggs in a pot of cold water and cover completely. Add a pinch of salt and a tsp. of vegetable oil (this will help when peelin your eggs).
2. Bring water to a boil, and boil for ten minutes.
3. Remove pot from heat, dump out hot water and fill with cold water. Let set for a few minutes.
4. Shell your eggs.
I’m so glad I finally asked my dad how he did it because it has worked so well for us!! And what’s funny is when I asked my mom how she did it, it was totally different. I know everyone boils their eggs differently, but I recommend giving this way a try because it has yet to fail us. And the best part of all is that the egg shell usually slips right off which makes peeling so quick and easy too.
ENJOY and Happy Egg Boiling!

I like the sound of an easy-to-peel egg! Do you reduce heat when it’s started to boil? Leave it uncovered?
Nope… didn’t cover, didn’t reduce heat… I just let it boil for ten minutes.
I will have to try this method… it’s the peeling that gets me!

Well, for the one egg that didn’t blow up, it worked perfectly!
I’ve started baking mine instead of boiling them. Works great!
Hello,
Is there a difference if you are at high altitude? I like in Colorado so it is always hard to find a solid recipe for hard boiled eggs.
Thanks!
because I was looking for this since a long time,..:)
Lately mine have been so difficult to peel for some reason, that I waste a good portion of the egg! I piinned this; thanks!
Does this method work with fresh eggs? I’ve never used this method but every other one I’ve tried only works with “old” eggs.
Wondering if they cook evenly to use for deviled eggs? Mine always seem to cook lopsided.

Does this work well if you are dyeing the eggs? Concerned about the oil on the eggs for dyeing.
