#1406 - Best Hard Boiled Eggs

(by Shirley McNevich)

eggs (as many as you wish BUT only a single layer of eggs in the pot)
cold tap water (enough to cover the eggs)

Carefully place raw eggs into the bottom of a saucepan--eggs should be in a single layer. Run enough cold tap water in the pan to cover the eggs. Place pan on burner--turn heat to medium--bring to a boil, then time the eggs for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, pour water off of the eggs. Run cold tap water on the eggs. Repeat draining and running cold tap water on the eggs until the outside shells of the eggs are cold.
