re: How do you hard boil eggs?

I used to bake but found that the shell and egg white really adhered- i assume where the shell was resting against the cookware.

I've settled on bringing the water to a boil, poking a hole in the rounder end of the egg (where the air bubble is), placing the cold eggs in the water and boiling uncovered for 8 minutes, remove from heat and cover for 8 minutes and then dunk in ice water for at least 30 minutes. I usually boil a dozen on Sunday and bring two (with guacamole) each morning to work for breakfast after my workout.

I've found this to result in the yellowest yolk and that the eggs I peel on Friday are as easy to peel as those on Monday, but that's just me...
