# place eggs in single layer in saucepan. # Cover with at least one inch of cold water over tops of shells. # Cover pot with lid and bring to a boil over medium heat. # As soon as the water comes to a full boil, remove from heat and let stand. # Large soft-cooked eggs: let stand in hot water 1 to 4 minutes, depending on your tastes. # Large hard-cooked eggs: let stand in hot water 15 to 17 minutes. # When cooked to desired level, drain off hot water. # Immediately cover with cold water and add a few ice cubes. # Soft-cooked eggs: let stand in cold water until cool enough to handle. Serve. # Hard-cooked eggs: let stand in cold water until completely cooled. Use as needed. # Never boil eggs. It makes them rubbery. # Use older eggs. Fresh ones won't peel properly. # To keep eggs from cracking while cooking (before placing in water), pierce large end with a needle, which will also make them easier to peel.
