BTKW Tip: Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

This is the method that I use to make hard-boiled eggs. They come out perfectly every time.

Place 12 eggs in a medium sized pot. Add enough cold water to the pot to cover the eggs by 2 inches. Place pot over high heat, and bring to a boil. As soon as the water comes to a good, rolling boil, set a timer for exactly 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, immediately place pot into the sink and run under cold water. When eggs have cooled, they are ready to peel and eat.

Note: Older eggs are best suited for hard-boiling because they are easier to peel. In the United States, most eggs come with an "expiration" date. Use eggs that are closest to this date and you will have no problem with them sticking to their shells.
