Tips

• When I hard-boil eggs, I place the eggs in a pan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. I either cook them for 12 minutes from the time I turn on the burner or 7 minutes from the start of the boil. As soon as the time is complete, I drain the water and cover the eggs with ice water until they are cool.
