    I put mine in pan with cool water. Bring to boil then simmer (lightly bubbling) for 6-7 minutes. Perfect hard boiled eggs every time.

    Edit to add - in uncovered pan

    I do exactly this, sometimes closer to 5 minutes if I want the yolk a little soft. Also, I immediately dump the hot water and put them in cold water for a minute or so. This way the shell is easy to peel, it almost comes off in one piece.

    I put a little baking soda in the water to make the eggs easier to peel! Just a teaspoon is enough.
