From Food Network, for hard boiled.

Place your eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat and set aside 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel.

I go a bit longer than the 10 min.

REALLY? you must have missed the hard boiled egg thread.The one that was and might yet be endless.

All I gathered from it is, you use a pole barn nail,Stick it through the elongated legnth of a raw egg.Then either heat the nail in boiling water or with a propane torch.The second method cooks it from the inside out and brings out a fine eggy flavor.I havent tried it yet.Its on my to do list.

perfect egg. get salted water boiling. poke hole in egg. put eggs in boiling water for 10 mins. turn heat off but leave for another 5 mins. put in cold water 8 mins. dump water & put more cold water over them. peel.

Fresh eggs are terrible for hard boiling. They don't peel worth a darn. Eggs at minimum a week old are best for hard boil peeling. I boil my eggs just before expiration and never have a problem, no poking holes either.

I would go in sane if I had to read the last thread how to boil an egg. That's why I had to wait a week to eat mine. Lol
