  Let your perfect little egg sit perfectly in its perfect little pot of perfectly hot water for 10 minutes.

  Move your egg from the pot of hot water to a bowl of ice water. Be careful not to burn your tiny little hands!

  Crack that perfect little egg open. Don’t worry, it won’t feel a thing.

  Use your tiny little hands to carefully peel the shell off of the egg.
