Excerpt from http://www.goodegg.com/boiledegg.html
1. Place eggs in a saucepan with enough COLD tap water to cover completely by 1 inch. Bring to a ROLLING boil over HIGH heat. Once the water is brought to a rolling boil, PROMPTLY reduce heat to a lower medium boil and cook an additional 10 minutes for a “hard boiled” egg. For a “soft boiled” egg reduce the time by a few minutes.
2. Remove from heat and IMMEDIATELY place eggs under ice cold water or in a bowl of ICED water to chill promptly to help yolks stay bright yellow. Chill for a few minutes in the cold water until the egg is completely cooled. This is an extremely important step which prevents the greenish “ring” from forming on the surface of the yolk over time. If the egg is not chilled immediately after cooking an unsightly dark greenish ring will eventually appear on the outside of the yolk.
3. To peel...crack on all sides, roll egg between hands to loosen shell,and remove shell. Enjoy while still warm, with a light sprinkling of salt if desired.
To serve in egg cup, place egg in cup small end down, slice off large end of egg with knife or egg scissors and eat from shell with spoon.
Refrigeration is necessary for hard boiled eggs if they eggs are not to be consumed within a few hours.

you put eggs into pan, cover with cold water, put on stove. once the water BEGINS to boil, you let ut boil for 10 mins (no more otherwise they are overcooked AKA green in the yoke). then you remove and rinse/soak in cold water until the eggs are cooled off. they should be perfect. the yolks should be yellow with NO green.

Put them in cold water (if they're cold and you put them in hot water, most will crack), put the pan on the stove, bring water to boil, shut off, let them sit for a few (5 to 7) minutes and viola!
