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.

Put eggs in all metal strainer. Put strainer with eggs in boiling water. Time varies for hard boiled or soft boiled. Yet when done transfer strainer with eggs a plastic container and put in the freezer for 5 minutes to cool down.

Same technique can be use with a French fry metal mesh for a whole dozen eggs in a two gallon sized pot of boiling water. The mesh will stop them from moving around and crack.
