Method
Get ready with the eggs and a saucepan. Check that the shells have no cracks.
Pour the water into the saucepan and bring it to a full boil on high flame for 5 minutes. The water should bubble strongly before you add the eggs.
Lower the flame and place the eggs gently into the boiling water with a spoon. Boil them on medium flame for 10 minutes until the whites and yolks are firm.
Move the eggs to a bowl of cool water for 5 minutes. The shells should feel cool, and this also makes peeling easier.
Tap each egg gently, peel off the shell, and rinse away any small shell pieces. Serve whole or cut in half.
