Chef notes
Despite their name, hard-boiled eggs shouldn't be boiled throughout the cooking process. Rather, bring them to a boil and then immediately remove from heat. This ensures the eggs do not turn out rubbery.
Peel your hard boiled eggs under cold running water. This helps wash away any small bits of shell and also makes them easier to peel.
