How to Boil an Egg

You need 4 things.

Eggs

Cold water

A pot large enough to cook them in a single layer

Heat

Everyone has a way to cook them but this method always works and the part that I find the most unpleasant, peeling the shell, takes no time at all.
1) Put eggs in pot and cover with 1 inch cold water.
2) Over medium heat bring to a boil and turn to a gentle simmer.
3) Cook for 5 minutes.
4) Turn off the heat and leave for 5 minutes.
5) Pour off the hot water and rinse with cold until cool enough to handle.
6) Crack each egg, put back in the pot, cover with cold water and let them sit for 10 minutes.
7) Remove the shell, it will slip right off.
8) Rinse and dry with paper towels. They are ready to use or store them in the refrigerator.
