How do you boil your eggs?

My method
Put eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water, bring to boil.
Remove from heat. Leave for 8 minutes. Discard water
Cover eggs with chilled water for 4 minutes.

Then, for sandwiches I peel eggs, add butter, cheese, cracked black pepper, curry power if wanted.
Mash with potato masher to consistency required.

I put baking soda in the water to make them easier to peel. Simmer for about 12-14 minutes depending on size. Drain and cover with cold water and repeat.

@cherokeepatti So you twice boil for 24 -28 minutes total?

@Gusman No. I boil for 12-14 minutes and then drain them and put cold water on them, the water will get warm from the eggs so I drain them again and put more cold water on them to get them to cool down better.

@cherokeepatti My silliness, I thought - repeat meant repeating the whole process. Silly billy Gusman.
Using water from the fridge, it does not get warm.
