Kittencal's Technique for Perfect Easy-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

The one and only method I use for perfect hard-boiled eggs and the only one you will use also, this is a no-fail method your eggs will come out perfectly cooked!--- don't omit the vinegar it makes peeling the eggs easier and your eggs will be bright yellow and the whites a pure white! -- it doesn't matter what amount of water or eggs that you use just make certain that you add in about 2 teaspoons of vinegar, I don't even measure I just pour the vinegar into the water from the bottle the exact 2 teaspoons does not really matter, of course use as many eggs as you wish and the exact amount of ice is not necessary you can use more, also try to use eggs that are at least 2 weeks old fresh eggs are somewhat harder to peel.

Perfect!! The one thing I might add is making sure the eggs are point down during storage so that the yolks are centered if stuffing :) You are the BEST!

I have tried COUNTLESS methods of hard boiling eggs, but have always ended up with over/under cooked eggs and a horrible time peeling them. I tried this method because I've always had tremendous success with Kittencal's recipes. Once again, Kittencal to the rescue!!! Not only were these eggs cooked PERFECTLY, but they were SO EASY to peel! I'll never try another method... this is it! THANKS AGAIN, KITTENCAL!!!
