Yes, but it helps if you add a good bit of salt to the water
when you boil them. It makes the shells harder. Or something.
BTW, best method for hard boiled eggs: put the eggs in
cold water, add salt, bring to a boil, cover, remove from
heat and let them sit for 20 minutes. They don't have that
weird greeny stuff on the yolk that way.
