Hard-Boiled Eggs

Get perfect eggs every time by putting the eggs in cold water. Bring the water to a hard boil, then remove the pot from the heat. Cover it and wait for 20 minutes! Any less time and you will have soft boiled eggs. Any longer time and you will get that dark sulfur ring around the yolk.
