Add 4" of water (enugh to cover the eggs) to a medium sauce pan and bring to a rolling boil. *Do not remove the eggs from the refrigerator until water is ready.*

Remove eggs from the refrigerator once water is boiling and carefully place each egg in the water with a slotted spoon. Cook for 10 minutes for full hard cooked eggs (8 mins for softer yolk).

While eggs are cooking fill a large bowl with 3-4 cups of ice and add water. Add eggs to ice bath and let sit for 15 minutes. Remove from the ice bath and peel immediately or place in refrigerator until ready for use.
