Peckish Sister from Central, FL

These directions tell you exactly how long to hold your eggs after the water has come to a boil and been turned off. I often have to make 144 hard boiled eggs to give out at church and the only worse thing than seeing someone peel one where the yolk has a large outer green area, is one that is not cooked all the way through. I had always done 20 minutes regardless of egg size. Here the time is by egg size with 2 additional minutes if the eggs are right out of the refrigerator. I held large eggs right out of the refrigerator in the just boiled water for 17 minutes before running them under cold water. When I made them into deviled eggs, there was the faintest green tinge around the yolks and when I mashed them most were perfectly dry and just a few a little gummy in the center and hard to mash. So, great directions for perfectly hard boiled eggs!
