Instructions
1
Find a pot or saucepan that is big enough to hold the amount of eggs that you want hard-boiled. Depending on the size of your pot or saucepan, you can cook as little or as many eggs as you desire. Just make sure that you leave room for enough water to cover the eggs completely.

2
Place your eggs into the pot or saucepan. Use caution when doing this step. Eggshells are designed to be strong containers, but they don't stand up well to knocking or dropping. Gently setting the eggs by hand into your pot or saucepan is going to be your best bet.

3
Cover the eggs with at least one inch of cold water. Place a lid on the pot or saucepan.

4
Set your burner to a high heat. Allow the water to come to a rolling boil. This usually takes about 10 to 12 minutes.

5
Remove your pot or saucepan from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for an additional 10 to 12 minutes. Now run cool water over the eggs until they are cool enough to handle. After letting the cool water run onto the eggs, you should let them sit in it for a few minutes. This will allow the eggs to fully cool before you handle them.

6
Crack your eggs by rolling them on a hard surface. Then peel and enjoy!

O-kay, cover your egg with SALTED water (the salt will keep broken yolks inside the egg....), bring to a boil.  After they come to a boil, turn the fire off and let them sit for 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle then shell them.......

But< colleen, the way you describe will keep the yolks from getting that yucky green tinge on the out side of the yolk.  Boiling eggs for 20 minutes is the easy GREEN tinge way  The way you described will make a nice B egg!  The deviling of it comes later!
