Hard-Boiling Eggs Perfectly
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with 1 inch of cold water.
- Cook over high heat until just boiling.
- Remove from burner and cover.
- Let eggs sit in saucepan for 12 minutes (large eggs) – 15 for extra large, 7 for medium.
- Drain eggs and run cold water over them (while still in the pan) to cool them down.
- Refrigerate them (or make egg salad!)
