1) Start off with placing your eggs in a pot in a single layer and covering them with cold water about an inch above the eggs.
2) Turn the heat up to medium high and once water starts to bubble add some salt to the pot.
3) Bring water to a rolling boil. If your heat is too high, you will get some violent boiling and end up with egg casualties-no bueno.
4) Once water comes to a rolling boil, place the lid on and turn off the heat (leaving the pot sitting on the burner).
5) Let eggs sit for 12-13 minutes making sure to not open the lid or all of the heat will escape. Make sure not to start your timer until right when you turn off the heat.
6) When the time is up remove eggs from pot and rinse in cold water or place in an ice bath to stop the eggs from continuing to cook.
7) Label your eggs so that your family knows which ones are hard boiled and which ones are not. OR you can use this trick: spin the egg really hard on a flat surface. If the egg is hard boiled it will spin standing up and if it's not hard boiled it will spin horizontally.
***Sweet! No more guessing***
