    I'm sitting here on the computer with Rachael Ray cooking behind my head. She's talking about deviled eggs and gave the "recipe" for the perfect boiled egg. She says they'll be perfect everytime if you follow this procedure:

    put one dozen eggs in cold water

    put the lid on the pot

    turn the heat on

    turn the heat off the instant the water starts boiling

    let them stand in the water for 10 minutes

    drain and run under cold water to peel

    "...and they'll be perfect every time!"

    Now I know.

    No problem....RICHARD you are a boiled egg! As much time as you spend it hot water it won't take long!

    (although you should be careful calling me honey in public... )

    I always put salt in the water so peeling is much easier... I let them boil for atleast ten minutes and to tell if they are done I use a fork or spoon and pusk the egg with it.. If its really bouncy in the water Its done.
