Add enough water to a saucepan to cover your eggs by an inch or two. Put a pinch of salt in with the water, it will make the water boil faster and help keep the eggs from cracking.
Bring the water to a boil. Then simmer for 10-12 minutes.
Take care not to let the eggs sit in a rolling boil as this could crack them.
Don't crowd the eggs either as that could cause them to break.
Run cold water over the eggs as soon as they are done. This will make the eggs easier to peel.
There is a kitchen gadget you can buy that pokes a small hole in the large end of an eggshell, which is another way to keep your eggs from splitting when they are cooking.
Needless to say, but I will say it anyway, if you plan to dye your eggs you probably don't want to use this hole poking device.
