No matter what I do I can NOT nail this process.

put a little salt in the water. guaranteed. so this is what you do-salt the water, bring it to a boil then turn it off with the lid on the pot. beautiful yellow yolks

@akindheart So, I haven't tried the salt, but what I usually do it bring them to a boil, remove from heat and cover to rest for 10 minutes. Then move them to an ice bath for 15 or so minutes. Last weekend, they sat in the ice bath probably over 30 minutes and still were a pain to peel. 😞
