Serious? I put them in the pot with the water and turn the heat on, as soon as it starts boiling then I leave them in for another 9 minutes.  Rinse under cool water and your done!

You don't boil them at all. ?Place eggs in cold pot of water; bring water just to a rolling boil and remove from heat. ?Let sit in hot water for 17 minutes. ?Then run under cold water for several minutes before you try to peel.

yah my mom said something to that effect (me&mymonkey)- but the last time i did it i somehow screwed it up and ended up with softboiled eggs which did not make for the best egg salad. ::barf::

I always do 12 minutes and remember it because a dozen eggs... Not that I couldn't just as easily remember 9,10, or 13... Then I immediately run them under cold water until all heat is removed from the pan and eggs.
