Recipe for guaranteed perfect hard boiled eggs?

Put eggs in cold water on stove. Bring to boil. As soon as the water is boiling turn it off, and let the water and eggs cool until the water is luke warm.

Works at every elevation. No timer needed, ever.


i've always done mine this ^ ^ ^ way with the exception i
let them go for 2 or 3 minutes after the water comes to a boil.
i've never had any problem with shells cracking or trouble
peeling or rubbery eggs. i don't add anything to the water
except heat.
