The question came up in my mailbox - how to make hard-boiled eggs - so, I thought, must have been asked before. I searched to no avail....here is how to hard boil eggs, my preferred method, anyways.
I am stickying this post as a place to add your favorite methods for cooking eggs and your favorite egg recipes, seeing as most of us eat an awful lot of eggs.
Hard boiled eggs
Place eggs in large pot, so they are in one layer on the bottom. Cover with cold water, an inch above the top of the Eggs. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once a full boil has occurred, turn off the heat, keep the pot covered and let it sit 20 minutes.
Drain out hot water and flood eggs with cold water (put the pot in the sink), once they are cool enough, peel them or put them in the fridge, or use them in your recipe...etc.

Here's something I found...
"1. 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."
