The yolk must be thoroughly cooked for me

I do them for 17 mins

Hard boiled- I just learned you can do this in the oven! 30 mins at 350 then 10 mins in ice water.

I like them medium as well. I usually boil the water, shut it off then put the eggs in, cover for about 10 mins.

Oven! 30 minutes at 325 in a muffin pan so they don't roll around then immediately in a ice bath.
Perfect hard boiled eggs!!

I like hard boiled, and I make them the exact same way as @Mrs. Pickle:

I like medium boiled eggs, but it's hard to get them perfect! I am not a fan at all of eggs boiled so long the yolk gets that powdery texture. yucks.

If you are looking for in-between, you bring water to a boil, then add the eggs and cook 7 min (even if it stops boiling for a min). And add a tsp of salt because if your eggs crack, then it will keep the white from oozing all out. And run cold water over them as soon as the timer goes of and eat as soon as you can handle them to peel them, because they'll keep cooking.

@Mrs. Pickle: Yup, this is how I do it do.

We use jumbo eggs and hard boil it bc DS loves it.

Eggs in pot of water, once it boils, turn off heat and place lid on for 15 minutes. Ice bath for 10 minutes. Perfect every time - no grey ring!

I get the water boiling, drop them in, reduce to low boil/simmer and time for 8 minutes. Then pull off the heat for about 3 minutes. Then run under cold water. Always perfect and so easy to peel!

I usually do it the same @BoogieBea: but have the hardest time peeling them!! They get all funky and are never perfectly peeled, argh.

I'm interested in trying the oven method that @regberadaisy: mentioned!

martha says water and eggs in, bring to a boil, remove from heat and cover for 12 minutes for hard boil and then rinse in cold water. we've found this works great, but we also found that we need to leave the eggs out to set and then they're good!

@Meridian: older eggs peel easier than fresh eggs. http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/09/20/peeling_hardboiled_eggs_why_are_some_eggs_easier_to_peel_than_others_blame_carbon_dioxide_.html

I do the same as Mrs. Pickles. Cold water with just enough to cover eggs. Cook on high till it comes to a full boil. Put on lid. Turn off stove. Let it sit for 8 minutes. Immediately dump out water, add some cold water and slosh around the pot so the eggs crack and peel by themselves in the water. Peel off hte remining shells and enjoy!

6 minutes from when the water starts boiling for one egg.

I use a similar method to a lot of PP, but I don't know why a much shorter time seems to net me a much firmer yolk than many of you. I like my yolks about halfway between runny and hard - it still needs to be the dark, shiny yellow color like in the picture that @gingerbebe: posted, and can ooze a bit, but not run.

I start the eggs in cold water, remove the pot from the heat when it starts to boil, cover for four minutes, and then drop the eggs into ice water until they are cool enough to handle.
