Saw on martha stewart show the way to make perfect hard boiled eggs is
to
put the eggs in water bring to a boil and cover with a lid and turn
stove
off and set timer for 13 minutes and remove when it goes off.
Dunno if thats true but ill give a go and see as you made me hungry for
eggs..lol.

Julia Child recommended letting the eggs sit in the water for 17 minutes,
I
think. That's how I do mine and they come out great. Never have to
worry
about BBQing them that way!

I don't get it. If I don't leave them a full half hour, the yolks aren't
cooked through.

Yet for me, 5 minutes after the boil and mine are hard.
