**Perfectly hard cook eggs

• For steamed eggs, place in a rack over boiling water, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, rinse with cold water. For boiled eggs, cover with cold water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Put a lid on the pan and remove from heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12 minutes. Run cold water over eggs to cool. Hard boiling works best with eggs at least a week old, otherwise they may be difficult to peel. The steaming method works great with fresh eggs.
