BOIL EGGS: Put cleaned eggs in the bottom of a saucepan and cover with a 1/2″ of water over the highest point on the eggs. Place lid on pan and bring to a steady boil over medium-high heat. Once it begins to boil, turn burner off and leave pan covered on the burner for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove eggs from pan and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process until the ice has melted and the eggs are cool to touch.
