PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGGS
I believe this to be the perfect recipe for hard-boiled eggs. The eggs peel so easily, most can be peeled in one simple motion. The egg yolk itself is a nice yellow color without the greenish tinge that sometimes occurs when making hard-boiled eggs.

KITTENCAL'S TECHNIQUE FOR PERFECT EASY-PEEL HARD-BOILED EGGS
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.

HARD BOILED EGGS (EASY TO PEEL)
I have had a few problems with trying to hard boil organic fresh chicken eggs. They were usually hard to peel and it would take about half of the egg white with the shell. I ran across this recipe from my sister, of all people...yes, I was skeptical at first...lol! :P Anyway, after you use this simple recipe your eggs will no longer be hard to peel. It works even on store bought/farm eggs. I just prefer fresh eggs because they taste so much better. I wish I could have chickens in the city! I never knew what I was missing till my daughters great grandmother got 8 chickens. They eat poms, strawberries, melons, tomatoes, bugs, worms... spoiled little hens. lol! They have the best eggs though.

PERFECT EASY PEEL HARD BOILED EGGS
If you are frustrated by hard boiled eggs which are difficult to peel, try steaming them instead of boiling. No vinegar, no timing issues. Just steam for your normal boiling time, they come out perfect, even very fresh eggs which are the worst to peel. I found this recipe on Backyard Chickens and figured if anybody knew how to boil eggs they would.

Steps:
- Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water.
- Place your steamer in the saucepan.
- Poke a small hole in the large end of each egg. A pushpin or small screw works well but you can twist the end of a small knife into the shell carefully to make the hole. I've even forgotten about the hole, it still works.
- Put the saucepan on a medium-high heat, when the water comes to a boil, turn down to just above a simmer.
- Start timing from when you turn on the heat. I like 18 minutes.
- Cool in pan or under running water.
