I've been making hard boiled eggs since list 1. Before treatment, I made them the way everyone else usually makes them, boil until they're cooked through. But I came across a great way to make the perfect hard boiled egg a couple of years ago and thought I'd share as I've been making a lot of eggs lately. No more guessing on time and no more weird gray film around the yolk, whatever that gray stuff is anyway.
Place your eggs in the bottom of a pan. As many as can fit on the bottom is fine, but do not overlap or stack. Cover the eggs with water. Turn on the stovetop and bring to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, turn OFF the burner but leave the pot on the stove. Cover with a lid and let sit for 17 minutes. Yes, 17. They are perfect every single time.
Thanks Tink!! Another perfect
Thanks Tink!! Another perfect timing recipe for eggs is coving eggs with cold water, bringing them to a boil, boiling for 5 minutes and turn off for 5 minutes. Also perfect every time. I like your version because you can walk away from the stove, but if you can stay near the stove for the 5 minute boil, mine shaves 7 minutes off :)

thanks girls. I love boiled
thanks girls. I love boiled eggs and always have trouble getting them just right. Will try this.
Also, the timing is different
Also, the timing is different on stovetop that do the instant boil thing. I've tried it like this on one once, and it doesn't cook right. This method works for electric or gas range.
