Read the text.
Place four eggs in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by one inch.
Slowly bring the water to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the water begins to boil, remove
the pan from the burner. Cover it and let the eggs sit for about ten minutes. Then drain the
water from the pan. You will notice, though, that a hot hard-boiled egg is not easy to peel. To
cool the eggs, rinse them with cold water. Then, when you're ready to peel an egg, gently tap it
on the counter until the shell cracks.
