Place six extra large or jumbo eggs in a pot with enough water to cover by at least one inch. Bring to a boil, with pot uncovered.

When water boils, cover immediately and remove pan from heat,. Allow to sit for 11-13 minutes (depending on size of egg and preference for yolks).

Remove eggs into a bowl of ice water, and cool for 5 minutes.

Remove eggs to a bowl of ice water, and cool for 5 minutes.

Refrigerate for up to one week.
