    Have been having problems with making hard boiled eggs that don't stick to shell for years it seems. Have tried everything...old eggs, vinegar in water, boil for this long, that long, and they all didn't work EXCEPT this one! I really believe it has to do with bringing the eggs to a boil using MEDIUM heat because I have always used high heat. One dozen perfect hard boiled eggs and the shell just slipped off. I was stunned because I have become so skeptical about different methods. Definitely try this.

    Don't waste your time or eggs on this recipe. I followed it to the letter because I haven't had a lot of luck boiling eggs. Well, they boiled perfectly, except for one that burst. However, THAT was THE egg that peeled the best. The others held onto that membrane around the egg and when I tried to peel the egg, I lost most of the white. My goal was to make "pretty" deviled eggs for a graduation party. Now I get to run to the store, buy a couple more dozen eggs and start over again .... with another recipe!!

    I basically cook it like Emeril says. But i dont cover it and after 10 1/2 minutes i drain the hot water out and add cold water to the pan i take on e egg and crack just the top and a little around it while it is still hot but running under cold water while i do it, it comes off easy and cooked perfectly- I tryed ever which way and this is the only way i like it

    I followed directions exactly. I even used a timer. Whites stuck to the shell and the yolks were slightly undercooked.

    We've been using this recipe for years. If your shells are sticking, your eggs are too fresh. Older eggs peel easier. I'm talking days, not months. Great and easy recipe.

    How could anything so simple be so difficult? Did exactly as instructed.. still had problems peeling... maybe it's because electric stove seemed to take an eternity for "boiling"... saw bubbles but maybe not boiling enough. Anyway, the eggs are delightfully soft once I get the shells off... broken whites in the process.
    Anyway, thanks Emeril. I will keep trying!!!
