Cover the eggs in a saucepan with water Fill a saucepan about a quarter of the way with water Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of the saucepan Add more water so that the eggs are covered by at least an inch or two of water The more eggs that are crowding the pan the more water you should have over the eggs 6 eggs should be covered by at least an inch 7 to 12 eggs 2 inches
2

Heat the pot on high heat and bring the water to a full rolling boil

Turn off the heat, keep the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. If you have the type of stove burner that doesn't retain heat when turned off, you might want to lower the temp to low, simmer for a minute, and then turn it off. If you like your eggs not fully hard cooked, it can take a few minutes less. When you find a time that works for you, given your preferences, the types of eggs you buy, your pots, stove, and cooking environment, stick with it.

Place eggs in a bowl of ice water, mostly ice. The temperature change will make them easier to peel.
