Sometimes I like to make a couple of hard boiled eggs. I like to have them on hand so I can easily add chopped egg to cold salads or to make deviled eggs as a side dish.
To make them only takes a couple of minutes of actual attending the eggs. I take a small pan of cold water, add the eggs in a single layer and put on the small burner on medium heat. As soon as the water comes to a boil, I turn down the heat to low and set the timer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, I turn off the burner and let the eggs cool down naturally or put them to immediate use.
