# Hard-boiled eggs

1. In a pot large enough to hold as many eggs as you'd like (from a single egg up to one dozen), add enough water to just cover the eggs.
2. Put eggs on stove on high, bring to a rolling boil.
3. Once water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and allow 30 minutes to cook completely.
4. Optionally peel them now, they'll be very easy to peel under cool water.

Speed eggs: if you're in a hurry you can leave it to boil for 10 minutes and it will be cooked completely through with a chance of ruining your eggs (they may split open).
