Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Cover pan with a lid and bring water to a rolling boil over high heat; when the water has reached a boil, turn off heat and leave eggs in hot water for the desired time. Drain and let cool. Put eggs in ice water if you need to hasten their cooling time.
