Make Ice for Boiled Eggs

If you keep big chunks of ice in reserve for when you hard boil eggs, you will not waste the small ice that the rest of the family uses. I boil eggs all the time, and it takes lots of ice to cool them down if you are using the little cubes. You can make ice in anything. You can use margarine bowls, Ziploc bags, etc.

I put a dozen eggs in cold water, cover them, and bring them to a rolling boil, then remove from heat. They sit for thirty minutes and then after that I put a big bunch of ice in the water. Then they sit there for about 8 to 10 minutes until really cold.
