Boiling eggs?

How long do you boil them for or how do you know they are done?

depends upon the egg size, and whether or not they are fresh out of the refrigerator.

I boil jumbo eggs for exactly 14 minutes, and they come out perfect every time. I guess large eggs would take only 12.....

I think you just keep them in the water until it boils. Not really sure either. I bought one of the things you drop in the water that changes color, but I haven't used it yet

i usually put eggs in the water and then when the water is at a rolling boil....i turn the heat off....and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 6 or 7 minutes after that and they come out great.

me 2!!! Best way really, you won't get the green stuff and the egg shells should peel away nicely.

Just put some cold water in the pot Imm after the boil, and also rinse with cold water.

I think you're right... i can never remember either. I just know that when you color them you put white vinegar in the hot water with the dye to make it stick to the shells.
