To hard-cook eggs, bring pan of water to simmer. Gently lay eggs in water, return to simmer and cook for 8 minutes. Drain and cool eggs in ice water just until cool enough to handle. Peel eggs and chill again in ice water until cooled. This keeps yolks perfectly yellow, and the shell slips off easily when the eggs are slight warm. Check out how to Boil and Peel Hard-Cooked Eggs.
