Perfect Boiled Eggs

7. 7

   Leaving the pot on the burner, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid.

8. 8

   After 11 minutes, carefully carry the pot to the sink and allow the cool faucet water to pour into the hot water while at the same time, angling the pot to allow water to run out.

    Once the water is cool to the touch, turn off the faucet and allow the eggs to rest in the cool water for 5 minutes.
