Notice how they say "hard-cooked eggs"? Don't boil them. Put the eggs
in a non-reactive saucepan, cover with at least a couple inches of cold
water. Bring to boil, covered, then remove from heat and let stand
(covered) for about 18 minutes. Go from there.

I do 12 minutes, and they come out perfectly. When I've accidentally
left them longer, sometimes they overcook and the yolks turn green.

I read the thread, but since I never have trouble with my cooked eggs, I
don't have any interest in trying a new method.
