- To peel the eggs, carefully crack all the way around the egg and peel the shell away from the egg gently.
- We prefer to use large eggs or extra large eggs from the store. You can use fresh eggs though they are harder to peel.
- This recipe calls for a dozen eggs but you can cook more or less at a time as long as they are not over crowded in the slow cooker.
- This recipe cooks the eggs so they have a firm yolk, without being overcooked. If you want a soft boiled egg with a runny yolk and softer egg whites, cook for less time.
