What is the best timing for boiling hard boiled eggs?

Answer 1

Pierce the large end of egg w/ a needle to release pressure that often cracks the shell. Put the egg in a pan & fill w/ water. Briong to a boil, simmer for 12 minutes.

Remove from heat and place egg in cold water immediately. An overcooked egg develops a harmless dark ring that isn't as appetizing as the bright-yellow yolk.
