The simple 4-4-4 method (4 minutes pressure, 4 minutes rest, 4 minutes ice bath) continues to give me easy-to-peel eggs that are perfect for deviled eggs, egg salad, and summer gatherings. Since I shared a deviled egg dip recipe in this week's Friday Finds, I thought this old favorite deserved a fresh mention.
