Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Cover with a lid and bring water to a boil over high heat; when the water has reached a boil, set the timer for the desired time. Boil for 6 - 7 minutes for perfect hard boiled eggs. For soft-boiled eggs: 4 minutes. For slightly soft-boiled eggs: 5 minutes.
Many people feel that eggs should not be hard boiled, only hard cooked. Put the eggs in hot water for 5 minutes while you bring a pot of water to a simmer. Put the eggs in the simmering water and let them simmer for 20 minutes. If you add a splash of vinegar to the water, it will make the eggs easier to peel.ut your eggs in a pan, add cold water to cover by 1 inch plus 1 Tb of vinegar or salt (this will keep the egg from running if the shell cracks a bit during the process). bring to a boil, boil for 10 minutes. remove the pan from the heat, let rest for 5 minutes. the eggs will be perfectly hard boiled.
