Just going to put this out there into the world.

How to make Had Boiled Eggs for this Hard Boiled Egg Snack
If you do some Googling, you will find a ton of articles on how to hard boil an egg but this is how I do it:
Prep
Put your eggs in a VERY large pot and fill so the eggs are covered by about 2 inches. If you are only using 3-4 eggs, you only need to cover them by about one inch
Boil
Place the pot on high heat on your stove and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid but do not remove it from the heat.
Stand
Let the pot stand on the stove for 10-12 minutes.
Drain
After time is up, drain the hot water and fill with ice-cold water and let stand for 10 minutes.
Then you just have to peel and eat!
