6 large eggs
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 pinch salt
water, to cover 2 inches above eggs
3 cups ice cubes (or use as much as desired)

Steps:

Eggs should be at close to the water's temperature. Take out of refrigerator 2 or 3 hours before cooking or put them in tap water, let stand 15 minutes, repeat twice. Place the eggs in a saucepan. Cover the eggs with lukewarm water. Add in vinegar and pinch salt. Bring to a full boil over medium heat Simmer for 1 minutes (start timing after the water reaches a full boil). Remove from heat cover with a tight lid. Allow the eggs to stand for 12 to 18 minutes. Drain the eggs a couple times under very cold water. Cover the eggs with cold water then add in some ice. Allow the eggs to sit in ice water for about 3 minutes. Bang each end on a hard surface to crack. Remove a little circle of shell from each end Put your mouth to one hole and blow really hard If the egg hasn't popped out, use your fingers to gently separate the shell and membrane from the egg itself. Admire your handiwork and give the egg a little rinse if someone else is going to eat it.
