Put the eggs in a large heavy pot and cover them with l-l/2 inches of cold tap water. Partially cover the pot and bring to a rolling boil. Reudce the heat to low and cook the eggs, covered completely, for 309 seconds. Remove the pot from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water (still covered) for l5 mins. Then run the eggs under cold water for about 5 mins. this prevents yolk discoloraiton due to over cooking and makes peeling easier. Gourmet Sept. 2000
