Gently place your egg, or eggs, into a saucepan.
Fill the saucepan with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch or so.
Place your saucepan of eggs and water on your stove and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
Make sure to have a timer set for nine minutes ready to go!
As soon as the water hits a rolling boil, start your nine-minute timer.
When the timer goes off, carefully move your eggs to a bowl with a spoon or tongs and cover with ice and water for an ice bath.
Let the eggs cool completely for ten minutes or so before you start to peel them.
Once the eggs are cold, gently tap the egg on all sides to crack the shell and begin to peel away the eggshell.

When hard boiling eggs it helps to start with room temperature eggs, or eggs that have been on the counter for at least 10 minutes to take some of the fridge’s chill off. This will help prevent the eggs from cracking during the boiling process.
