Step 2Boil The Eggs
Gently place them in a pan of water.
Heat the water to boiling, stirring pretty much constantly.
Boil for 15 minutes. Keep stirring them for the first 5 to 7 minutes of that. The stirring prevents the yolk from setting off-centered in the egg, which would result in a very thin side.
Pull them out of the water (using an appropriate safe method) and place them in cold water.
Once they're cooled off - 10 or 15 minutes at least - peel off the shells. The easy way to do this is to place one on a hard surface then roll it back and forth until the shell cracks. Peel it from there - the shell should pretty much hold together. Do this to all of them (obviously).
Rinse them off to remove any other bits of eggshell.

Very nice! Love the colors. Quick tip about peeling boiled eggs - they peel much easier if they are a few days old. Also makes them easier to peel if you immediately shock them in an ice water bath after removing them from the boiling water with a slotted spoon.

Yeah, I put them in cold water and didn't even think to mention that!
