For even easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old. Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your altitude. Higher altitudes may require an extra minute or two. Don't overcrowd the pot with eggs. If necessary, cook them in batches. If any eggs crack during cooking, don't worry! They'll still be delicious.
