eggs, however many you're needing

water, enough to cover about 1 inch over the eggs

salt, at least 1 tablespoon per quart of water, (a little bit more won't hurt)

Directions:
Here is Emeril Lagasse's method that results in eggs that have bright yellow centers with no ugly dark ring around the yolks. Here's how you do it:
Place the eggs (straight from the refrigerator) into a saucepan; fill it with enough water to cover by 1 inch; add the salt.
Bring to a boil. When the water begins to boil, reduce the heat so that the water boils only gently; begin timing the eggs.
They need to boil for 10 minutes - exactly. No more, no less. Once they've boiled for 10 minutes, drain them in a colander; run them under cold running water so that they cool quickly.
Peel or dye as soon as the eggs are cool enough to handle; refrigerate until needed. It's that simple!

Personal Notes:
Everyone has his or her own method of hard-boiling eggs - and that's just fine. As with any task, there is not just one "correct" way.

I've used this method and it works very well.
The salt in the water is to make the eggs easier to peel.
