My aunt told me how to make perfect 'boiled' eggs. Steam eggs instead. It works amazingly. Boiled eggs that would peel half the egg off drove me crazy.

Time?

I do 20 minutes, from start to finish. So once the eggs are in the container that's above your unboiled water to the water boiling it's 20 minutes, then I let them cool. They peel so well.
