How to Hard Boil an Egg

I can NEVER remember how to hard boil an egg and there are lots of conflicting directions on the internet. Sooo...I'm going to write these directions down that I used today when boiling some eggs for an egg salad sandwich.

- Place eggs in the bottom of a pan and add cold water until the water is 1-2 inches above the eggs
- Cook on stove top over high heat until water begins boiling rapidly
-Turn heat to low and cover with a lid, allow to boil/simmer for 10 minutes
-Immediately put pan in sink and start filling with cold water, allow the water to overflow and cool the eggs quickly
-Peel and enjoy.

And there you have it folks.
