Place eggs in single layer in saucepan. Cover with cold water.
Bring to boil.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Drain off the boiling water.
Cover with cold water.
After a minute or so, dump out cold (now slightly warmed) water and cover
again with cold water so the eggs can be handled.
I crack the shells all over (bang them gently on the counter!) and leave for
a short time in the cold water.
Peel. They will peel easily, will be cooked and they won't be green.
Simple. Good luck! Nothing worse than a green-covered yolk.
