Making hard-boiled eggs isn’t difficult, but perfecting hard-boiled eggs is easier said than done. My previous go-to method was to add the eggs to a pot, fill it with water, then bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water went to a rapid boil, I would turn off the burner and let the eggs and water cool down. This method works well, but it requires a sufficient amount of time and the eggs can be difficult to peel. Annoyingly difficult (says my husband who has no fingernails to speak of).
