There was a post about this some months ago. Someone said Julia Child
recommended bringing eggs to a full rolling boil and then taking them
off the burner and let sit in the water/pan for 20 mins. This would
provide perfectly hardboiled eggs with no green film on the outside of
the yolk. I've never tried it with large eggs, but can guarantee you
it doesn't work with extra large eggs. Now ....didn't that help? :P
