Easy peel boiled egg

I've discovered the way to perfect hard boiled eggs, through much trial and error. Here's how:
Put eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, don't cover the pot. Put over high heat on the stove, and bring to a rolling boil. Let boil about 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover the pot, and let sit 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl filled with ice water and let sit at least 5 minutes.

But then peeling was always a bear. When this came across my radar, I had to try it... see, I've been making my eggs on the weekend but only recently started peeling in advance.

I tried and didn't have much success. It was easier than my previous methods, but no pinch the whole shell off as in the original.

I tried again on this snowy day and it worked! This time I used a straight glass, a little bit of water, and shook more than I thought I should.

Here's how it went for me, a regular person!

Knife Skills

My knife skills are terrible. Really terrible. I took a seminar at Williams Sonoma, but being free, it was more a "knife sales pitch." Ugh.

Anyway, this video by the always awesome Alton Brown is really helpful to anyone whose knife skills are also terrible!
