  Hints! 1. Add a little vinegar to the cooking water if you are using an aluminum pan. This reduces darkening of the metal. Also if an egg cracks open during cooking it keeps it from dispersing. 2. Use an egg piercer to prevent above mentioned cracking. 3. Use eggs that are a few days old. They will peel easier.
