Ingredients

eggs

water

high, not wide, saucepan

ice cubes

Directions

Water should cover the eggs by 1 inch (25mm) so use a tall pan and limit cooking to 2 dozen eggs at a time

Lay the eggs in the pan and add amount of cold water specified

Set over high heat and bring just to the boil

Remove from heat, cover the pan and let sit exactly 17 minutes

When the time is up, transfer the eggs to the bowl of ice cubes and water.

Chill for 2 minutes while bringing the cooking water to the boil again

(The 2 minute chilling shirnks the body of the egg from the shell, making it easier to peel)

Transfer the eggs (6 at a time only) to the reboiled water and bring back to the boil again.

Let boil for 10 seconds (the expands the shell from the egg)

Remove eggs and place back into the ice water

Chilling the eggs promptly after each step prevents the dark line from forming

If time allows, leave the eggs in the ice water after the last step for 15 to 20 minutes

Chilled eggs are easier to peel

Peeled eggs will keep perfectly in the regriferator, submerged in water in an uncovered container for 2 to 3 days

Veddy interesting! Will try this unique method! I can make them perfectly if I use them right away, but if I put them in the fridge without peeling them, the sulfur acts up and the eggs have that greenish tinge around the yolk.
