- After cooking, move eggs to a large pot of cold water
- Peel eggs after 20 minutes. Be careful when peeling the 6 to 7 minute eggs to avoid breaking the whites or yolk.It is recommended to crack each shell a little, then place the egg back in the water briefly to allow water to seep in under shell to make them easier to peel.
