    Not how long but how: put the egg in cold water(tap ) when the water start to boil remove the heat.let it sit in the water for 20 min; it fully cook

    Here is a quick, easy, and no-discolored-yolk way to hard boil eggs...

    -Place Large eggs in a heavy bottomed pan.
    -Cover with 1" of cold water and cover pan with a lid.
    -Bring water to a boil watch carefully because the timing starts when it boils.
    -Turn off the heat and keep pan covered for exactly 10 minutes. (X-Large eggs will take 2-3 minutes longer)
    -Cool eggs by rinsing with very cold water or submerge in iced water to stop the cooking process.
    FYI:
    -Older eggs peel much easier than fresh eggs.
    -If you are unsure if an uncooked egg is too old or not, place it in a cup of water. If the egg floats, at the top of the glass, get rid of it.
    -A hard boiled egg that is still in the shell will spin on a counter, but you can't spin an uncooked egg. Hope that helps!
