      PERFECT eggs every time! I only stand for 16 minutes though & will never make them another way again :-)

      Absolutely perfect! I could never remember how long to cook and inevitably overcooked my eggs. This has worked every time. Thanks!

      These turned out very well. I cooked 8 eggs, following you'r recipe exactly, and they were all easy to peel and cooked perfectly. Thanks Kree for posting

      UPDATE: Shared this recipe with my boss where simplicity is the key. She LOVED the ease of this recipe to make perfect boiled eggs!

      I shared this recipe with my husband whom complained he could never make perfectly boiled eggs. We have done this twice in the last week and a half and true results both times much to his delight. Light fluffy yolks with just set whites - just how he wanted them.

      Thank you for sharing!

      I cooked 14 eggs using this method. Fantastic...Egg yolks just perfect for devilled eggs. After cooking I plunged the eggs into water with lots of ice cubes and shook the pot to crack the shells. Let set for a few minutes and voila!!! Easy to peel hard boiled eggs! Thanks so much for posting your way of doing it....

      I have always had a hard time boiling eggs.. the yolk sometimes wouldn't be completely cooked for me. But this how-to recipe worked perfectly. Thank you!

      This makes wonderful, tender eggs - my favorite for deviled eggs! I cook them a few minutes longer to insure they're done all the way through, then soak them in ice water afterwards. Not sure if it makes peeling easier, but they always peel easy for me. (keep in mind older eggs peel easier than fresh).

      Perfect every time - The only thing that I add is some salt to the water. Never under done nor blue circles

      I like to try different methods of doing things from time to time. I needed some hard boiled eggs so decided to give this recipe a try. I followed the recipe exactly as written and my eggs came out perfect!

      Perhaps I did something wrong here...but mine were not perfectly cooked. I've always lightly boiled my hardboiled eggs for 15 minutes but saw this recipe and it sounded so much simpler! Tried it and 1/4 of the eggs were under cooked. I made 8 total and did not overlap. I even left them a few minutes longer than the stated 20 minutes. All my eggs were hard to peel as well. Must be something I did since so many others had great results. May try again or may just stick with what's worked for me all along. Thanks for posting! EDIT: For anyone experiencing the underdone problem I experienced with this recipe, please try Kittencal's Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs Kittencal's Technique for Perfect Easy-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs. I just cooked and peeled my first PERFECT hardboiled egg using this method!

      I have done this for years but let them sit for 25 minutes so today I made some up to make potato salad and did it for the 20 minutes. Low and behold they were perfect! Thanks!

      First time in my life I got it right! I usually pick them to death and they look ugly. Everyone turned out beautiful.

      Thank you Kree...I have always had trouble with boiling eggs - the shells would pop in the hot water and the white would stream out and ruin the egg & the water. This was so easy & made a dozen perfect hard boiled eggs.
