Directions
1.
In a large pot, place an even layer of eggs to be boiled. Fill the pot with enough cold tap water to cover eggs completely by 1 inch.
2.
Next, bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to a low-medium boil and cook an additional 10 minutes for a "hard-boiled" egg. For a "soft-boiled" egg reduce the time by 5 minutes.
3.
Remove from heat and place eggs under ice cold water or in a bowl of iced water and chill promptly to help yolks stay bright yellow. Let stand for a few minutes in the cold water until the eggs are completely cooled. This is an important step which prevents the greenish "ring" from forming on the surface of the yolk over time. Crack eggs all over and peel.
