Don't cook your eggs for longer than you have to and when they're finished cooking plunge them into cold water to stop the cooking process. Begin with room temperature eggs, as soon as the water comes to a boil, remove from heat and cover, let stand for 18 - 20 minutes. Remove and put in cold water. This will prevent cracking, green yolk, and will result in a tender, not rubbery, white. I I got this process from a Sara Moulton show years ago and have been using it ever since. Also, for easier peeling, don't use super fresh eggs.

No more than 15 minutes. There's no need to boil them to death; if you do, sometimes the yolks turn an unappetizing greenish color. After removing them from the heat, put them in cold water to stop further cooking from the retained heat. This will also make them easier to shell, if you remove the shells right away.An egg would boil for about 5 to 7 minutes to reach the hard boiled stage.
