Making The Best Hard Boiled Egg Ever

I love to eat hard boiled eggs with my fried potatoes & pork sausage in the mornings almost as much as I love to eat over easy eggs with my fried potatoes & pork sausage in the mornings.  Can't forget to mention the whole wheat toast with real butter.

Over the years, I've seen a number of different ways to prepare hard boiled eggs.  I don't remember them all.  But I seem to have stuck with boiling them for 10 minutes.  Who cares, as long as they are cooked, eh?

With the internet at my fingertips, I have found the way to cook hard boiled eggs that is going to be the only way I cook hard boiled eggs from this point on.  As easy as:
  1. Plop your eggs in a pot, careful not to crack them
  2. Cover eggs with cold water (make water level 1 inch above eggs)
  3. Bring to a boil
  4. Once boiling, time for 1 minute (that's right- only sixty seconds)
  5. After one minute of boiling, remove from heat and cover
  6. After ten minutes has passed, drain water
  7. Give eggs an icy blast of cold water (I like to repeat this step until all my eggs are peeled, they peel like a knife slicing through hot butter)
You have just prepared the best hard boiled eggs ever.  Enjoy.
