How to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

- Cover eggs with water in a pan that has a lid
- Add 1 tsp. baking soda to the water
- Add 1/8-1/4 c. white vinegar to the water
- Bring water to a hard boil
- Cover, turn off the heat
- Let stand 16 minutes
- Drain the hot water
- Cover eggs with cold water and/or ice
- Let sit for at least 5-10 minutes
