Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

The American Egg Board recommends the following preparation for Hard Cooked Eggs:

• Bring eggs and water to a full, rolling boil.
• Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 14 to 17 minutes.
• While cooking easily raises the internal temperature to 160°F (killing any Salmonella bacteria), hard-cooked eggs can spoil more quickly than raw eggs.
• Refrigerate hard-cooked eggs in their shells promptly and use them within 1 week.
