Ingredients

1 dozen organic eggs
water

Instructions

In a medium large pot, add an inch of water to the bottom of the pan and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
Place your steamer basket or steaming rack in and carefully place eggs onto the steamer basket with a slotted spoon in a single layer if possible. I found that if you load on alternating sides, it keeps it from tipping over into the boiling water.
Cover with a lid and steam for 12 minutes of steaming time.
Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
After 12 minutes of steaming, turn off the heat and place all them in the ice bath to chill for 15 minutes, add more ice if necessary.
Roll the egg on a cutting board or any hard surface, until it cracks, then slip the shells right off! Dip in a bowl of water to remove any pieces of shells. You will get perfectly smooth hard boiled eggs to use in recipes.
