Place the eggs in the saucepan (for best results the eggs should be almost room temperature before cooking).
Cover eggs with room temperature water or cool water; bring to a gentle boil.
When the starts to boil, start timing and reduce the heat so that the water simmers gently (fast boiling makes the egg whites tough and causes the egg to bang against each other and crack).
Timing boiled eggs depends on the size and degree of hardness desired.
You should start timing the eggs from the moment the water first boils.
