Tips for Perfectly Hard-Boiled Eggs: I use the DASH Egg Cooker every time I make hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs. While the eggs are cooking, I fill a bowl with ice and water. Once the eggs are finished cooking, I immediately submerge them into the bowl of ice water. Let them sit for a minimum of 5 minutes and then gently tap teach egg on the ends and then around the sides to loosen the shells. Run under a small stream of water as you begin to peel them. Super easy and makes for beautifully peeled eggs.
