I finally learned how to make hard boiled eggs!

Put the eggs in a pan, then cover with cold water.

Place on the stove on high heat, and keep track of them.

When the water begins to boil, wait 1 minute. Then remove from the heat, and cover.

Wait 12 minutes.

Pick up the eggs one-at-a-time with a soup spoon and put them in a bowl full of cold water. Leave them there for a few minutes.

Not too long, though; they eat best if they're still warm inside. Peel them by using running cold water to keep the shell cold. Eat with salt.

Apparently the reason for heating the eggs along with the water is that if you drop the eggs into water that's already boiling, the shells will crack. Anyway, it's part of the cooking process.
