Don't forget that older eggs are better for hard boiled. Too fresh and they are hard to peel.

I agree with the cold water, boil, turn off
Method, but if you want custardy yolks, I'd only leave them 8 minutes for large eggs, then cool immediately. Keep the size of your eggs in mind when choosing a cooking time.

Everyone, it seems, does this a little differently. The simplest method:

Cover the eggs with cold water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and allow to stand 10 min.
