When hard-boiling eggs, cover them with enough cold water to measure about 1 inch over the top of the eggs. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain the water off, and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. They are now ready to use.

7-9 minutes. before boiling, poke a hole in the rounded bottom of the egg so the air can be let out when placed in the water.

I don't think putting the hole through the shell (as I stated in my original answer) will change cooking time, and it certainly isn't tedious to do so, but it will produce perfectly shaped eggs for making stuffed eggs.
