I had to use the dozen eggs in my fridge before they hatched.

Wow! This worked brilliantly! It's a couple extra steps from what I normally do, but these eggs are perfect and well worth it! Thanks

My daughter sent me this recipe as I ALWAYS struggle with peeling hard boiled eggs. I must say I was skeptical since I've tried so many tricks to make peeling eggs easier - I needn't have been - with the exception of the first egg I tried (and I believe that was because the egg wasn't given a proper chance to cool down after 2nd time in the boiling water) all the eggs peeled like a dream. I will ONLY prepare my hard boiled eggs this way in the future - thank you so very much for sharing - you've ended years of aggravation & frustration.
