Nikki, This is exactly how I do it!
I cook mine the same way you described but I call them hard cooked eggs in the shell. Some cooks boil excessively but the heat could destroy the protein in the egg whites.
I found a method of steaming eggs and that has worked well for me. Eggs are much easier to peel and they come out nicely. No green around the yolk edges.
We use a steamer, about 12 minutes after water boils, steam them like you do vegetables. Peel easy and taste great! Enjoy!
Instant pot for 6 minutes with 1/2 cup water. Peel very easy !
I put my large or extra large eggs in my vegetable steamer for 20 minutes. They peel quite nicely. Luanne
I cover my eggs with cold water, set burner to high and boil for exactly 23 minutes. Take off heat, drain water, fill pan with cold water and add ice to cover. Eggs come out perfect every time. I also drain water, put lid back on and shake the pan. The shells crack and so, so easy to peel.
I let the eggs boil VERY GENTLY for five minutes, then remove them from the burner and let them sit in the hot water for twenty minutes. They don’t always cook completely the Almanac way.
Exactly how I do my eggs
I have been using that method of removing from heat after boil.. it works great!! And best ever way to peel ! So easy!
