the incredible edible

I have to get over the origin of eggs on a regular basis but I like them. Here's how I finally figured out how to make a hard boiled egg (like last week):

1. boil enough water to cover the amount of eggs to be cooked without crowding
2. using a pin, poke a hole into the broad end of the egg
3. carefully put eggs in the boiling water
4. boil eggs for 13 minutes
5. remove eggs from heat
6. put pot of eggs and water under a cold faucet, let it run a couple minutes until the pan water is cold
7. let eggs sit in cold water for around ten minutes

Eggs should be perfectly hard boiled and easy to peel at that point. Good luck.
