I read this on Pinterest and have tried it 2 or 3 times. We buy eggs from some Amish friends so they are VERY fresh. I read to bring the water to a boil with some vinegar in it. (I just pour some in....less than 1/4 cup in a 6 qt pan.) After the water comes to boil add the eggs. Cook for 14 minutes then put into ice water. I just put a bunch of ice in a large pan and add water then the eggs. I haven't had any trouble peeling the eggs since I've used this method. This is one of the FEW things I've read on Pinterest that actually worked! LOL
