How to Hard Boil an Egg

I'm kind of on a 'Basics of Cooking' kick. My apologies to the seasoned chefs in the group, but as someone who taught themselves to cook, I think these things are worth talking about. Today's lesson? Hard boiled eggs. Mmmmm. Delicious on their own, but also fantastic integrated into other recipes.

Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Salt
- Water
- Ice

Directions:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
- Very carefully add your eggs (I use a slotted spoon to lay them in gently). There should be enough water to cover your eggs.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the eggs for approximately fifteen minutes.
- Carefully remove the eggs (I use the slotted spoon again) and place them in an ice water bath for about fifteen minutes to cool.
- Peel and enjoy!
