Place desired number of eggs in cold water, covering at least an inch, and bring them to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 20 minutes. Eggs will be hard boiled at this point.
To remove shells, rinse lightly under cold water - just enough so you can hold the egg without it being too hot.
If you are going to use the eggs cold, it is okay to chill them before removing shell. Hit middle side of egg on counter, then slide spoon under shell, with outer curve facing the shell,and slip it around the egg. Do this on both ends of the egg. Rinse to remove any shell residue.
Note: older eggs are easier to remove shells than fresh eggs.
