As soon as the eggs are boiling, remove from the burner and cover for 13 minutes then cool them with cold water. Courtesy of Martha Stewart.

That is exactly how I have done it, courtesy of my Mother, for years and years. But I have no idea if the film will be there or not, just like I am not sure they'll peel easily or not, until I cut them. It's all a crap shoot...

I like using those plastic egglets for hard boiled eggs. Coat them with butter, crack the eggs into the egglet, put the lid on and simmer for 7 - 8 minutes. Let sit for about three minutes then squeeze them out.

Btw, that is a secret to catching the biggest fish in a lake.

You take your still-hot boiled eggs, stick them in a pair of nylons, and use them as your sinker weight.

The biggest fish will smell those eggs and get hungry, so they’ll take a bite out of whatever bait is nearby.
