Place the eggs in a saucepan big enough not to crowd them. They all should fit in the bottom of the pan with about a quarter-inch of space between them. Add water to cover the tops of the eggs by one inch.
Put the pan over high heat and bring to a full, rolling boil. Immediately cover the pan and remove from heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water, covered tightly, for 15 minutes, not one minute longer nor one minute less. Pour off the hot water and run cold water over the eggs until the pan itself is cool to the touch. This stops the eggs from cooking and makes peeling much easier.
Cooling eggs immediately after they are hard-cooked also eliminates the green ring that can form around the yolks.
Hard-boiling is a good way to prepare eggs that are a week or two old.

A hard boiled egg,like a soft boiled egg is cooked in hot water. It is boiled for 5-10 minutes and then the pot is put under cold running water.. The results are a hard cooked egg.

the egg is cooked whole in it's shell until it's "solid" or hard, so-to-speak all the way through.
you take an egg in it's shell, put it in a pan with a lid. Cover the egg with water, replace the lid, cook on high until the water boils. Turn the stove off once the water boils and the let egg sit for 15 min. Then rinse the egg with cold water to stop cooking. Or you can put it into a bowl of ice-water.

Like the last person said, you boil the egg while it is still in the shell. You then chip away at the shell and eat the egg. You will noticed that the end product (the boiled egg) is hard.
In comparison, "soft boiling" an egg means that you take the egg out of the shell and then boil it.

Put eggs (whole eggs) in a pot of water and cover with cold water (over the eggs by 1 inch). Bring the water up to a rolling boil and leave on for ten minutes (less time for soft boiled eggs - soft yolks).
Fish eggs out and place in a cold water bath.
To eat, crack the shell all the way around and peel off. Sprinkle lightly with salt and eat whole. Or chop to put in salads. Or add them whole to a bowl full of sliced pickled beets with juice. There's lots you can do with hard boiled eggs
Hope this helps.

It means to boil an egg with the shell on in boiling water to . cover the egg, and boil for about 7 to 10 minutes. It is like the eggs found in egg salad

Cook until hard.
Place eggs in a saucepan with enough COLD tap water to cover completely by 1 inch. Bring to a ROLLING boil over HIGH heat. Once the water is brought to a rolling boil, PROMPTLY reduce heat to a lower medium boil and cook an additional 10 minutes for a “hard boiled” egg. For a “soft boiled” egg reduce the time by a few minutes.
2. Remove from heat and IMMEDIATELY place eggs under ice cold water or in a bowl of ICED water to chill promptly to help yolks stay bright yellow. Chill for a few minutes in the cold water until the egg is completely cooled. This is an extremely important step which prevents the greenish “ring” from forming on the surface of the yolk over time. If the egg is not chilled immediately after cooking an unsightly dark greenish ring will eventually appear on the outside of the yolk.
3. To peel...crack on all sides, roll egg between hands to loosen shell,and remove shell. Enjoy while still warm, with a light sprinkling of salt if desired.
To serve in egg cup, place egg in cup small end down, slice off large end of egg with knife or egg scissors and eat from shell with spoon.
Refrigeration is necessary for hard boiled eggs if they eggs are not to be consumed within a few hours.
Refrigerated boiled eggs, kept in the shell, can be kept for up to 1 week.

My ex wife couldn't boil eggs either. Hmmmm, you don't live in Pennsylvania do you?
A hard bolied egg is an egg that has been boiled in salted water for longer than about four minutes until it is cooked through and becomes solid (hard). "Hard Boiled".
Chill the egg in cold water after it has cooked and the shell will peel off much easier.
