Three ways to use the eggs you just timed

Time the eggs with the boiling eggs at altitude calculator, then make ramen eggs, deviled eggs, or egg salad. Methods for each yolk are on the methods pages.

Immediately put cooked eggs in cold water to make them easy to peel. Ice water for a few minutes also stops them from cooking further in the shell, which matters more after the extra time altitude already added.
