How to Boil Eggs

Like most people, I learned to cook eggs by boiling them for about 15 minutes.  I was amazed to learn while watching a cooking show years ago that you only need to boil the eggs for about two minutes. 

Here are the steps:

1. Put eggs in a pot and cover with cold water
2. Boil the eggs for about two minutes
3. Turn off heat
4. Put a lid on the pot
5. Let sit for about 15 minutes
6. Run cold water over the eggs until cool

Now you can put them in the fridge or use them to make coloured Easter eggs.
