Hard boiled eggs are fairly simple, but it is best to have a method. The one I follow goes like this:
1. Set eggs in the pot, covering the bottom but only making one layer
2. Fill the pot (with cold water!) until there is about an inch of water above the eggs (using warm water can cause the shells to stick to the egg white)
3. Turn the stove on high, and bring the water to a boil (a little more than a simmer, a little less than a rolling boil)
4. Once the water is boiling, turn off the stove, cover the pot, and set a timer for 11-13 minutes (depending on how well done you like your eggs and how many eggs you are boiling)
5. After the 11-13 minutes, carefully pour out the hot water and fill the pan with cold water to stop the eggs from cooking any more.
6. Let cool, keep in the refrigerator, and enjoy!
*An extra tip: If you are having trouble peeling the shells off the hard boiled eggs, try waiting and using older eggs--they tend to peel easier.*
*Oh, and if you are needing a little spring fun, dye your eggs.*
